- Abstract
The escalating waste generation is becoming an increasingly pressing concern for many countries, including Brunei Darussalam. Every year, tonnes of leftover halal food are consigned to landfills. Landfills remain the most cost-effective and practical disposal method for the government. However, if waste is not managed judiciously, the country faces potential environmental challenges, including the overwhelming accumulation of waste in landfills. Moreover, organic waste disposal can exacerbate global warming, as methane gas is released during the anaerobic decomposition process within landfills. This paper underscores the categorization of waste and introduces the concept of value-added products derived from halal food waste. The goal is to enhance the current state of halal food waste management. Effective waste reduction can bolster halal-certified food enterprises and further the government's aspiration for a robust and sustainable economy, aligning with Goal 12 of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
