Challenges in waste management at the household level in settlements along the Sario River as the source of marine debris to Manado Bay, Indonesia

Marine debris mitigation should be conducted thoroughly especially in the level where they are originated, which is household and settlement areas. In developing countries, waste management in household level has been a challenge because it has never been done properly. This study aims to evaluate the content and the application of waste management guidelines in settlement areas along the river, to assess the level of understanding of each head of family in using the guidelines and to assess the awareness level in doing the waste management. There are two aspects of waste management in household level: 1) waste management mechanisms, and 2) awareness of each head of family in was management. Mechanism aspect of waste management consists of two components. They are (1) guidelines in management mechanisms (which consists of guideline content and level of understanding-compliance) and (2) implementation of management mechanisms. Awareness aspect of each head of family in conducting waste management were assessed based on three components, they are 1) knowledge, 2) concern, and 3) willingness. A number of 249 households (from a total 453 who live in both sides of the river) were interviewed (as respondents) and they were chosen randomly. The respondent was those with family (parents and children) and the head of the household. The interview was conducted using a questionnaire, which content several questions related to the assessed aspects. The data was quantitatively analysed using a simple Statistics obtain percentages. The result shows that the a detailed content of guidelines on how to properly manage the was not found, the level of understanding on waste management was still low, the implementation of waste management in the level of household has not been done properly, and the willingness to share the finance in waste management is also low. It is then concluded that waste management at the household level in the regions faces various challenges. The best choice in waste management aspect at the household level is given in in this paper.

Handling of Household Waste That Impact on Environmental Pollution in Kupang City Review Based on Law Number 18 of 2008 Regarding Waste Management

Various efforts were taken by creating a healthy environment for the community. Related to this, Indonesia already has Law No. 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management. Until now, waste management in Indonesia is still using the old paradigm: collect-transport-dispose. In Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara, the management of household waste is still not optimal, especially with the lack of public understanding and awareness about the impact of waste that is not managed properly and correctly. There are still many people who throw household waste carelessly at certain points around the edge of the road and this creates an unfavorable view and smells that interfere with breathing in the surrounding environment. Thus, this problem must provide a response from various parties not only by the government and citizens (public), the private sector but also between governments (Kupang City Government and NTT Provincial Government). This can be seen in the lack of synergy between the government's movements and policies in dealing with waste in Kupang City. Handling the waste problem is closely related to environmental problems. If the environmental conditions are clean and healthy, the community will have an impact on public health and environmental pollution. If the community is healthy, the health budget will also be reduced. In this regard, based on Law Number 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management, concrete steps to be applied in the implementation of waste management must start from the ministry to the RT level and change people's behavior by throwing garbage not in random places. must be removed. In addition, waste management must be carried out jointly by the government, the community and the private sector by helping to prepare waste transportation facilities because the waste transportation facilities belonging to the government of Kupang City are also limited in number to transport waste in various parts of Kupang City where the amount of waste is very large. The role of the private sector is to help the government by preparing garbage bins or helping to educate the public about the importance of maintaining cleanliness.

Legal Culture of Local Community in Plastic Waste Management

The buildup of plastic waste is a problem for the environment, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the amount of plastic waste. Despite the widespread implementation of waste management, the effectiveness of such an environmental policy varies in every region. One of the causes is the internal factor covering the local community and its perspectives and values. Legal culture is a part of legal systems, reflecting how the local community perceives a specific issue. Different societies have their legal culture, resulting in varied responses of communities to a particular regulation. This notion becomes the rationale for conducting this research. Relying on the empirical-normative method, the present work explores the legal culture of different communities regarding plastic waste management. The normative analysis employed two approaches: conceptual and laws and regulations. For empirical juridical studies, interviews and focus discussions are opted. The results reveal that each community group has different values and mindsets according to the surrounding environment, resulting in distinct legal cultures from one another. Further, differences in the legal culture of the community contribute to the community’s response to regulations regarding plastic waste management.

EFEKTIVITAS DINAS LINGKUNGAN HIDUP DALAM MENGELOLA SAMPAH SEBAGAI UPAYA PERLINDUNGAN TERHADAP LINGKUNGAN

The goal of this research was to know how effectiveness of trash management based on legislation adopted by the South Tangerang City Environmental Service. The author uses empirical legal methods, using a descriptive qualitative approach. Primary data were gained through conducting field interviews, while secondary data was gathered through a literature review. Considering the study's findings, The South Tangerang City Environmental Service manages garbage in accordance with all applicable relevant laws and regulations, namely Constitution Number 18 of 2018 concerning Garbage Management, South Tangerang City Regional Regulation Number 13 of 2019 concerning Change On Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2013 concerning Trash Management, and Regulation Mayor South Tangerang Number 50 of 2017 concerning Trash Management. However, it is not fully successful in its implementation since the garbage dump is not located in line with the provisions of the garbage dump determination, resulting in environmental contamination in the area surrounding the garbage dump. The inadequate location of the landfill, the residents' lack of awareness of the value of participation in waste management, and limited waste management infrastructure are among the challenges faced by the Environmental Service of South Tangerang City in implementing waste management.

Multi-Sectoral Partnership for Waste Management Evaluation and Awards Recognition in Higher Education

Waste management is an important part to achieve green and sustainable campus. This study aims to evaluate waste management implementation in higher education. The methodology used in this study is a cross sectional with a non-probabilistic sampling. Data were collected using a well-structured evaluation instrument through an online focus group discussion, document review and evidence of implementation. The evaluation instrument consists of 10 elements: waste management policy, resource availability, waste segregation, waste collection, temporary waste storage, handling of general and hazardous waste, personal protective equipment (PPE), waste segregation awareness educational program, and evaluation on waste management. There were 15 faculties/schools/program were participated. Data was analysed using univariate analysis, radar plot representation, Box and Whiskers plot analysis. The level of waste management implementation amongst faculties /schools/program was varied between 52% to 98%. Higher education needs to evaluate waste management implementation and established a systematic environmental awareness program to achieve sustainability development goals (SDGs). The mean score ranking from highest to lowest level: personal protective equipment (5.6) to evaluation of waste management implementation (3.2). Indeed, to ensure a comprehensive general waste management, it was suggested that higher education need to build a centralized waste collection facility, a chemical waste treatment and competence personnel for handling laboratory waste.

Research on valorisation of spent garnets as addition in cementitious materials – preliminary experimental evaluation

Abrasive waterjet (AWJ) material processing represents a relatively new and extremely efficient method in the specific industries, implying various applicability areas, attributed to different materials, with different properties and domains of use. Besides numerous advantages of the AWJ cutting and generally of the material processing techniques, they also involve the waste generation: the abrasive sands are converted into sludge material, collected into recipients and further on, after natural drying, they become waste dumps randomly deserted. The enlargement of the AWJ techniques in the latest years determines the corresponding increase of the associated Garnet wastes (Spent Garnets, SG), thus leading towards the clear need of identifying opportunities for their recycling and valorisation. Aggregates are basic raw materials in the production of concrete, mortar and plasters, composite cementitious and/or cement-free materials (geopolymer concrete) in the building materials and generally, in the construction industry. The rapid growth of the population, recorded mainly in urban areas, determines an increasing demand on housing facilities and consequently, on concrete production and aggregates consumption. Aggregates and sand, mainly exploited from riverbeds or quarries, represent exhaustible natural resource for which substitution solutions need to be found, in order to control and reduce their extraction from the natural landscape. Considering the superposition of this independent cause and effect situations, the rapid growth of Spent Garnets (SG) landfills, generated by AWJ processes, and, on the other hand, the need to substitute the natural aggregate in construction industry, a reliable solution could emerge from the potential valorisation of SG wastes as partial or even complete substitution of sands / aggregates in the composition of construction materials. The present paper offers a preliminary overview regarding the possibility of incorporating SG wastes of local production in usual cement-based materials, as partial substitute of the aggregate, for the double purpose of waste management implementation and natural resources protection, on the transition path towards the implementing the Circular Economy (CE) concept in the Romanian industry.

Waste Bank Policy Implementation through Collaborative Approach: Comparative Study—Makassar and Bantaeng, Indonesia

The purpose of this study is to determine the dynamics of implementing waste management policies through the waste bank innovation program in national policies. It also aims to determine the factors that influence it through a collaborative approach based on communication between community stakeholders, entrepreneurs, and the government in Makassar City and Bantaeng Regency. This is a qualitative-exploratory research study that uses a case study approach to delve into the research topic. The data collected were analyzed using the software Nvivo 12 pro to provide a systematic, factual, accurate, and in-depth picture of the implementation of waste bank program policies in eastern regions in Indonesia. The results of this study explain that the implementation of the Waste Bank Management Policy in Makassar City and Bantaeng Regency has not been run optimally, especially in the aspect of communication between stakeholders, including community participation. Although stakeholders and implementing agents have understood the intent and purpose of the waste bank program, socialization in the community is still considered less than optimal. Therefore, this research encourages local governments to implement effective and efficient waste bank program policies, with collaboration for every stakeholder in the area, to increase public and private participation.

Challenges and opportunities for sustainable solid waste management in private nature reserves: The case of Sabi Sand Wildtuin, South Africa

The mismanagement of waste in protected areas may lead to significant and irreversible environmental, economic and social impacts, such as land degradation, resource depletion, surface and groundwater pollution, loss of biodiversity and impacts on the aesthetic value of these areas. This paper aims to identify the challenges and opportunities for sustainable solid waste management in privately protected areas, given the limited research conducted on this topic. A case study approach was followed, which focused on the Sabi Sand Wildtuin, a private nature reserve (PNR) in South Africa. Interviews were conducted with 30 participants, which included representatives from the management authority, commercial lodges, non-commercial properties and a waste service provider. Several challenges have been identified by interviewees. Behaviour was the most frequently mentioned challenge, where interviewees raised concerns about negative attitudes, unwillingness to implement waste management measures and a possible lack of support. Other frequently mentioned challenges included foreseen difficulties due to the size and location of the reserve and concerns around funding of waste management measures, especially given the financial implications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) travel and tourism restrictions. The most frequently identified opportunities included creating jobs and improving livelihoods, providing assurance and transparency of what happens to waste ‘beyond the gate’ and improving awareness, knowledge and skills related to waste management. To optimise the opportunities towards sustainable solid waste management, PNRs should focus on aligning their strategic direction to achieve legal compliance and support community initiatives to establish waste-related infrastructure and services that cannot be implemented within the reserve.Conservation implications: The pursuit of waste-related opportunities within privately protected areas could enhance the implementation of sustainable solid waste management in PNRs, whilst also contributing to pollution prevention, community upliftment and other secondary benefits, which could ultimately result in increased conservation efforts.

Emerging nanotechnology based advanced techniques for wastewater treatment

The increasing trend of industrialization leads to tremendous release of industrial effluents. Waste water treatment is one of the important sectors to focus in order to overcome the most threatening issue of waste disposal and to ensure sustainability. Sustainable and energy efficient treatment methods are the attractive technologies for their current implementation of waste management. Even though the existing technologies are effective, unsustainability makes them unfit for their extended applications. Conventional and advanced technologies have been extensively implemented for the treatment of wide spectrum of effluents. Hybrid technologies including chemical and biological methods also emerging as promising technologies but secondary sludge generation is still unaddressed. Even though effectiveness of biochar varies over type of contaminants, cost-effectiveness and eco-friendly nature extended their applications in waste management. Nanotechnology and membrane technology are the promising and emerging areas of interest due to their widespread applications in waste water treatment. Carbon nano structures, nano filters, graphene, nano magnets modified with activated carbon are the potential candidates for the treatment. The present review demonstrates the emerging treatment technologies with special focus to nano based waste water treatment methods.

This study aims to identify and describe the SOAR Analysis Model in the Waste Management Strategy at the Mojokerto City Environmental Service. The problem in this study is focused on an increase in the amount of waste generation which has implications for the performance of the Mojokerto City Environmental Service as a regional work unit authorized in the implementation of waste management. The research method used in this research is a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. The theory used is the SOAR analysis from Stavros & Hinrichs (2009) which was identified based on the components of the waste management subsystem. The results showed that the SOAR analysis model in the waste management strategy at the Mojokerto City Environmental Service had been implemented but was not maximal enough, especially in the financing aspect which affected the operational speed of waste management. However, in terms of institutional, regulatory, community participation, and technical operations, the best efforts have been shown to generate positive energy in achieving effective waste management in Mojokerto City.

The Implementation of Waste Management in Bandung Green and Clean Program Based on Multistakeholder

The Program of BGC is a community empowerment program to manage the environment in particular self-governing waste treatment management in the level of Bandung City (Kota Bandung). This Program city is built by the partnership of Unilever Indonesia Foundation, Bandung Environmental management Agency, Pikiran Rakyat Daily Newspaper, Rase FM Radio, and Institute for Appropriate Technology Implementation and Bandung Family Welfare Development. This study has objective to determine how the achievement of BGC program implementation (in particular waste management program) considered of aspects of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability included the factors that influence the achievement of success/failure of the BGC programs implementation which is related to waste management considered of the aspects of the problem characteristic, program characteristics and environmental variables. The method used in this study are dominant qualitative and less dominant quantitative combined with descriptive analysis method. Results of this study has shown that the implementation of Bandung Green Clean programs related to waste management in Bandung has been relevant to the needs and conditions of Bandung people. However, the implementation of programs related to waste management Bandung Green and Clean has not succeeded in achieving the goal namely change people's behavior in waste management. Most of activities such as waste sorting, composting and recycling inorganic waste have to be done at the community level. Therefore the amount of waste volume of neighborhood Association-citizens Association Bandung Green and Clean participant has decreased only reached 10% of the target achievement of the waste management program by 95% The failure of this program, caused by characteristic factors of the problems encountered in BGC programs related to waste management with the target group coverage program that is too large and too heterogeneous as well as the scope of behavior change, therefore it has an effect on easy or not the waste management programs implemented in the field, which in turn also affect to the objectives of the Bandung Green and Clean program achievement related to waste management policy.

Access to Water and the SARs-Cov-2 Pandemic: Opportunities and Threats in a PostPandemic Era for sub-Saharan Africa

The emergence of SARs-Cov-2 has severely impacted on the progress made so far on the sustainable development goals in SSA. The current ineffective water and healthcare sectors in many African countries could serve as a deterrent to an impending crisis. This mini review aims to highlight the opportunities and threats to the water and healthcare sector in a post pandemic era. Recent studies indicate that the virus have been found in water bodies including wastewater and sewage and this could serve as a potential medium of mutation of the virus. In addition, SSA have poor waste management implementation and sanitation especially within rural and densely populated areas. This coupled with lack of adequate supply of potable water can see SSA fall back in achieving the SDGs. The struggle against climate change and recently Covid-19 will devastate socio-economic development of many countries within the SSA region. Climate change has impacted on water accessibility and quality and Covid-19 requires adequate water supply to reduce human-to-human transmission. This will see a severe stress on already existing stresses in the water and health sectors which can eventually led to a system collapse. Urgent attention is therefore required through the design and implementation of programs aimed at building resilience to climate impacts and prepare for future pandemics.

Manajemen Bank Sampah: Menjadikan Sampah Bernilai Ekonomi Bagi Masyarakat Pondok Pesantren

The Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School has a problem with the generation of plastic cup waste from drinks. So far, the waste is only collected and burned. The land/building resources for the waste bank and the existing human resources are sufficient to carry out waste bank activities. However, this condition is not supported by sufficient knowledge and skills in implementing waste management activities through waste banks. Therefore, it is necessary to have community service activities in the form of education, training, and assistance to the managers of Islamic boarding schools and the community in the environment around Islamic boarding schools to carry out waste management activities with a waste bank system. This community service activity is carried out in 3 stages, namely situation analysis partner conditions, implementation of interventions, and evaluation activities. Educational activities showed an increase in participants' knowledge about waste management with the waste bank system by 10,938 points. The training activities showed an increase in the ability of participants to carry out waste bank management activities. Assistance activities for the establishment of a waste bank system which show that the managers of Islamic boarding schools have been able to develop a waste bank organizational system and waste bank management flow. It can be concluded that this community service activity is a very strategic effort in order to prepare participants to carry out activities in waste management starting from the source and making waste have economic value.

Energy Potential Assessment of Excavated Landfill Material: A Case Study of the Perm Region, Russia

The paper presents results of field and laboratory studies of thermal characteristics to excavated landfill waste in Perm region, Russia. The peculiarity of the study includes the following aspects: waste composition with a high share of polymers, the climatic conditions of the territory and the lack of engineering infrastructure at the waste disposal facility. When determining the waste composition and thermal properties of waste, it is proposed to include a stage of removal of contamination from landfilled waste fraction, since their share of contamination can reach up to 33%. This stage will allow researchers to adjust the net calorific value of the excavated waste without overestimation, which may affect decision-making when implementing waste management technology. Among combustible components with the highest moisture content are waste paper (69.1%) and diapers (65.8%), whereas wood (11.2%), PET bottles (3.1%) and other 3D plastics (13.4%) have rather low ash content on a dry basis. Calculation of thermal properties and analysis of the energy potential of the waste samples was conducted based on the obtained data. The calorific value of the individual components and excavated waste depends not only on the moisture and ash content of the individual components, but also on the presence of contaminants. The average net calorific value of the excavated waste is 4.9 MJ/kg, and for the separate mixture of combustible components, it is 7.5 MJ/kg at a moisture content of 44%. Excavated landfill waste can be regarded as a resource for the manufacture of secondary fuel only after pretreatment that includes at least sorting and drying. The results of this study may be useful in developing technologies needed to eliminate old MSW dumps and old landfills, for the development of the concept of circular economy and prevention of environmental degradation problems.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AREA GOVERNMENT POLICY IN WASTE PROCESSING, JAYAWIJAYA REGENCY, PAPUA PROVINCE, INDONESIA

The implementation of local government policy in waste management, at Jayawijaya Regency, Papua Province, is a very strategic step that aims to serve the waste generated by the population, which indirectly participates in maintaining public health and creating a clean environment. To know performance rather than policy implementation, the authors perform analysis of the implementation of waste management policies, identify and analyze the supporting factors and inhibiting factors in waste management, and efforts to improve the effectiveness of implementing waste management policies at Jayawijaya Regency. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The results of the research indicate that factors are influencing the implementation of waste management policy, namely; that there are unclear contents of the policy that is not understood by the community related to communication due to the level of knowledge, the authority is the supervision of the field that handles the cleanliness of the city related to the resources and also the means of infrastructure, dispositions related to cognition and organizational structure related to the coordination found in the organizational structure. Still using a manual system, which is done by dumping (stacking). Waste management in the final disposal site is still conventional or combustion system. Efforts to improve the effectiveness of local government policy implementation in waste management are by applying local regulations that have been made seriously in the handling of waste. Awareness of the responsibility of the cleanliness officers should be improved. The need for supervision of the field of handling and processing of waste directly in the field from the environmental agency.

Inter-Regional Cooperation for Better Household Waste Management Stairs in Lampung Province, Indonesia

Household waste is an environmental problem that is still being faced by the Province of Lampung, Indonesia. To deal with the growing problem of household waste, the provision of regional landfills is currently very necessary, especially for urban areas that no longer have adequate landfills. However, the local government ego of each district/city to provide land to accommodate waste disposal from other districts/cities is a very urgent problem to be solved. This study argues that the Local Government of Lampung Province in implementing waste management policies based on Good Environmental Governance principles is still lacking even though Lampung Province has a fairly high household waste production. Until now, the local government has not formed a Regional Regulation on Waste Management as an important instrument in overcoming regional egos in waste management in Lampung Province. Local governments need to develop inter-regional cooperation to overcome household waste problems by establishing a Regional Final Disposal Site ( TPA Regional) that can be used together. The formation of a legal product at the provincial level that regulates the TPA Regional is a solution to the problem of legal certainty in overcoming th e local government ego .

Sustainability of reverse logistics as a source of firms' competitive advantage in South Africa

Reverse logistics (RL) management has become synonymous with sustainable business practices. This study examines the key practices amongst small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Based on resource-based theory (RBT), it explores the major barriers, as well as the effect of RL practices on SMEs’ competitive advantage. The study applied a quantitative approach through questionnaires administered to 80 SMEs managers and owners in South Africa. It found that the adoption and implementation of waste management, remanufacturing and repackaging practices has a strongly positive and highly significant influence on SMEs’ competitive advantage. Also, it identified waste management (recycle, reuse and landfill), remanufacturing and repackaging as the three broad RL practices among SMEs. The findings reveal that cost of adopting RL practices and lack of awareness of available resources and supports as the major barriers.

Analysis of Behavioral Factors For Dumping Waste at Sea on The Coastal Region

The problem of marine debris is inseparable from the culture of the people who are not aware not to throw garbage in the sea and the lack of communication between stakeholders. Problems with the implementation of waste management also occur in the city of Kendari, the increase in population result in the accumulation of waste person as much 0.6 kg/day or 247.96 tons/day. The purpose of the study was to determine the factors related to the behavior of people throwing garbage at sea in the coastal area of ​​Bungkutoko Village. The research method is quantitative research with cross sectional design with a sample of 231 respondents by purposive sampling using the Spearman Rank Correlation test. The results of this study indicate that there is no relationship between public knowledge and the act of throwing garbage at sea (p-value=0.545>0.05), there is no relationship between community attitudes and the act of throwing garbage at sea (p-value=0.225>0.05), there is no relationship between available facilities and the act of throwing garbage at sea (p-value=0.196>0.05), there is no relationship between local government supervision and the act of throwing garbage at sea (p-value=0.505>0.05). The conclusion in this study is that there is no relationship between community knowledge, community attitudes, available facilities or facilities, and local government supervision with the act of throwing garbage at sea. For further researchers, it is hoped that this research can be used as a reference to complete this research.

THE LEVEL OF REVERSE LOGISTICS IMPLEMENTATION IN TERMS OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN POLISH VOIVODSHIPS ACCORDING TO A MULTIVARIATE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

In practice, reverse logistics in Poland refers to a narrow approach within the framework of the waste management problem. The voivodships have been obliged to implement reverse logistics processes more effectively through waste management. The article aims to diagnose the implementation level of waste management processes (part of reverse logistics) in Polish voivodships. The research used a multivariate comparative analysis that ranks voivodships according to waste management indicators. The research will result in preparing the ranking of voivodships listing the leaders and those unsuccessful in the implementation of waste management. Based on the research, Śląskie and Podlaskie voivodships were selected as the ones presenting the highest level of waste management implementation, whereas the lowest level was recorded for Lubuskie voivodship.
