Analysis of waste processing potential in Gunung Putri District, Bogor Regency

Abstract

The increase in waste generation in Gunung Putri Subdistrict, Bogor Regency, causes an increased burden at the Landfill Site (TPA). One of the efforts to reduce the burden of Landfill Site (TPA) is to maximize the Waste Processing Site (TPS) by applying the circular economy concept. This study aims to analyze the generation, composition, and potential of waste processing to have economic value. The sampling method used is a combination of purposive sampling and stratified random sampling. The results showed that with a population of 304,672 people and a waste generation rate of 0.48 kg/person/day, it is estimated that the waste generation in Gunung Putri District is 147,156.58 kg/day. The waste material in Gunung Putri Subdistrict consists of 52.86% organic waste components and 47.14% non-organic waste. Organic waste is dominated by food waste by 50.38%. From the results of the characteristic test of the waste, it is known that the water content is 63.16%, the ash content is 29%, the C/N ratio is 7.03%, and the calorific value of the waste is 1.924 kcal/kg by considering the amount of generation, composition, and characteristics of waste, which are then used with standards or criteria for waste processing technology from various references. Organic waste in Gunung Putri Subdistrict has good potential to be processed using the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) and organic waste processing with Peuyeumisasi Method (Biodrying) and recycling for non-organic waste.
