Abstract
The emergy values of three different scenarios for the new landfill in Yogyakarta City were calculated to evaluate the sustainability and efficiency. The assessment included the environmental parameters which are Environmental Yield Ratio (EYR), Net Emergy, Environmental Loading ratio (ELR) and Emergy Sustainability Index (ESI). The calculation of emergy indices showed that treatment in landfill requires the largest emergy input for all scenarios with the percentage between 92% and 97%. Scenario 0 contains the lowest total solar emergy implying that it requires lower emergy input compared to other scenarios. Scenario 1 needs the lowest emergy investment. Meanwhile, Scenario 2 offers the highest emergy recovery contributed mainly by the output from higher scavenging rate. Scenario 2 is the best option for the municipal waste management in Yogyakarta since it meets more criteria for sustainability and efficiency.
