This study discussed the Malaysian household consumer perception of domestic wastewater management from food waste. Moreover, the solutions for wastewater flow rehabilitation were established based on the Material Flow Analysis (MFA) model for Malaysian household systems. The research scope includes creating an allied scientific platform and introducing a socio-material analysis approach for urban-rural-scale wastewater flow management in Malaysia. In this approach, background information was collected from Mental Model (MM) observations on food flow. This model showed Malaysia's household agents' current state of conduct, beliefs, and action, supported by the MFA primary and secondary data. The leading research detailed an MFA diagram framework and a questionnaire conducted with selected household respondents residing in urban and rural areas. The study also contained in-depth interviews with selected stakeholders, who explained their views on the importance of understanding, knowledge, and social responsibility towards Malaysia's integrated wastewater management system. The solution developed identified a close gap to understand the context of ethnopedology literature and the empirical context in food wastewater flow management. This idea is specific for households based on the object, tool, and subject perspectives.
