Abstract

recently, the production of garden waste shows an increasing pattern throughout the year in Malaysia. Garden waste consists of grass clippings, tree cuttings, small branches, leaves, and woody debris. This paper studied the garden waste management in Kedah and focused on the environmental impact. The life cycle assessment comprises a collection of garden waste, transportation to a collection center, and transportation to a landfill. The aim of the study was to analyze emissions of garden waste generated in 2015, which is 6,240 tonnes. The result indicated the environmental impact of current garden waste management practice in Kedah. It denoted that this impact could be reduced by using garden waste for power generation. Hopefully, this paper could help stakeholders to consider the potential of garden waste in cutting down the environmental impact through utilizing it for power generatio
