The notion of zero waste concept underlines the idea of the production process as a closed loop system considering that the outputs of a process being used as an input for another processes, converted into value added production. As the part of the UNESCO World Heritage in which a large area in this island has been considered as a nature reserve, Vlieland island, strives to find innovation to produce less waste which can be equited into cost savings particularly for disposal into the mainland. In addition, this concept is believed to push the reduction of GHGs emission deriving from food cultivation and shipping the waste. Since consumers is the largest contributor to waste production in Vlieland, this study would focus the discussion of potential solutions from the the households and visitors perspective. It means that household-like waste is becoming the focal point of this study align with the waste treatment policy which currently adopted. To collect the data and other information related to food waste and its associates, the observation and interview based on opportunity sampling are carried out to households, visitors as well as stakeholders. The findings are then elaborated through scoring to identified which sollution which are feasible to be implemented in Vlieland, North Holland.
