  • Published: 16 Feb 2026

With Monash University

  1. Develop a comprehensive financial model to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and economic viability of TPS3R facilities, factoring in both capital and operational expenses against potential revenues.

  2. Analyze potential revenue streams including: (1) household waste collection fees (retribution), (2) subsidy from national, provincial, municipality, and village-level government, (3) the sale of recycled materials, products and by-products, and (4) other potential streams such as support from non-government organization and carbon and/or plastic credit.

  3. Analyze the fluctuation of market prices and demand trends of the waste processed materials and products coming out of the TPS 3R to provide the potential financial scenarios (conservative and progressive).

  4. Conduct a thorough cost-benefit analysis to assess the economic advantages of the TPS3R system compared to traditional waste management approaches, including potential savings and external benefits like environmental and health impact (subject to collaboration with other related experts working in the same project).
