Abstract

Industrial development in the process can have an impact on the environment. The focus of this research is surfactant plant in West Java which has certify for ISO 14001:2015 certified on Environmental Management System. This study aims to evaluate management commitment in environmental management, and commitment management in implementation of waste minimization program. The research method used is a quantitative methods, with observations and reinforced by questionare to workers in the study sites, used secondary data and reference data. Likert scale is used to measure employee attitudes and ultimately categorization. The empirical evidence shows that employee knowledge and attitudes in waste management are good enough, contrary to waste reduction. In the future recommendations, it is necessary to set waste reduction targets in the key performance index (KPI) per department and evaluation per semester or year in achieving targets.

Summary

Introduction

The surfactant industryis an industry that plays an important roletoday, where human daily needs human needs surfactant in supporting its activities. The focus of this research on the management of surfactant industry waste that operates in PT X. PT.X has ISO 14001 certified on Environmental Management System. This study aims to evaluate management commitment in environmental management, andevaluate commitment management in implementation of waste minimization program.Surfactants are chemicalproductsproduced by PT.X. The resulting derivative products are Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) and Sodium Lauryl Esther Sulphate (SLES), both of which are act as surface tension reducers in shampoo making industry, soap, and tooth paste. In the operational activities of the company is supported by internal resources in the form of utility facilities production machines both continuous process and batch process
