Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA—Four Surabaya State University students initiated an innovation in the form of landfill smart in the form of a prism to overcome the problem of limited landfill space and increasing waste volume to create a sustainable city in the city of Surabaya. These ideas and ideas have passed to the funding stage in the 2024 Student Creativity Program.
