Abstract

In the midst of city or regional growth and transformation, the establishment of fresh commercial zones often arises from the development of infrastructure and enhancements to roads, exemplified by the rejuvenation of Jl. Ryacudu in Bandar Lampung. The recent enhancements to Jl. Ryacudu, supervised by the Public Works and Construction Agency, have given rise to a thriving business center featuring an assortment of shops, cafes, restaurants, minimarkets, and various services lining both sides of the thoroughfare. Consequently, the increased activities have led to a proportional rise in waste production, especially within the food industry sector. Thus, effective environmental management is urgently required to prevent any adverse ecological impacts arising from the solid waste produced. This study aims to evaluate the current status of waste management in the food industry sector, focusing on both its effectiveness and efficiency. Additionally, the study proposes waste management strategies, emphasizing the adoption of the cleaner production concept, incorporating the principles of the 3R system (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). The study's findings reveal that the complete implementation of the 3R system has yet to be achieved in the current setting. Nonetheless, the effectiveness and efficiency of the current solid waste management practices are considered satisfactory. Furthermore, the preparedness to adopt the 3R approach has been confirmed, indicating a promising path towards sustainable waste management practices within the restaurant industry.
