Trends community-based waste management practice through waste bank in Indonesia: towards local environmental resilience

Abstract

ABSTRACT In this commentary essay, we see that the trend of community-based waste management in Indonesia provides a comprehensive adaptive capacity framework to overcome environmental problems that often occur in developing countries. Where in the twenty-first century, waste management has become an important environmental and public health problem. This commentary argues that in Indonesia, the trend in waste management has changed from activities carried out by the government to community-based social activities, which significantly manage waste with economic value and have a positive impact on the environment. The trend of community-based waste management practices through waste banks in Indonesia is more defined as a waste management movement that seeks to achieve empowerment and support a circular economy and environmental resilience through sustainable and resilient socio-environmental action. This short comment explains that the Waste Bank in Indonesia contributes to more interactive environmental resilience and disseminates wise waste behaviour among the wider community.
