Exponential population growth in cities have generated huge amounts of municipal solid waste (MSW). This includes Melaka which in addition has experienced a rising number of tourists over recent years. The two factors combined have brought to the production of ap-proximately 1200 tonnes of waste per day. Landfilling is the general method of disposal but has brought with it challenges of insufficient territory. To address the issue, this study suggests the use of incineration technology as an alternative method. Experts' opinions are gen-erated regarding the suitability of implementing the technology in Melaka. A qualitative method is used by interviewing top management of the secretariat of Melaka Green Technology Council and Melaka Green Technology Corporation. PESTLE analysis approach is incor-porated as an explorative research tool. The findings showed that Melaka has the capabilities of implementing the incineration technolo-gy on a large scale. © 2018 Authors.
