Abstract
The government focuses on converting garbage into energy, such as in Cilacap, that waste is processed into Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). Compared to organic waste, a material with high calorific value fractions such as plastic is a potential energy source. Of contrast, organic waste dominates the waste composition in Indonesia. This study aimed to look into the waste composition in Cilacap as a resource of RDF. This is descriptive research that uses quantitative approaches. Organic waste dominated composition by 53,14%, according to a survey of 100 respondents. The percentages of plastic waste, paper, textile, and rubber/leather are 28,46%; 16,09%; 0,8%; and 0,42%; respectively. People who generate more organic waste are more likely to engage in social activities, have no yards and have no livestock. Furthermore, buying too much food and regularly leaving meals on the table may increase organic waste production. The calorific value obtained from the data is 3.735 kcal/kg. Knowing the theoretical calorific value of waste composition in Regency gives an overview of economic potential and research into appropriate policy recommendations for the government.
