The increase in consumption of plastic bottled drinking water (AMDK) has led to an increase in the amount of plastic waste that requires special handling. One of the main challenges in managing this waste is the process of cutting plastic cup rings, which has been done manually using a cutter or small knife. This manual method is not only less effective but also increases the risk of injury for waste pickers. This research aims to develop a safer and more effective plastic cup ring cutter. Through a socialisation programme and implementation of the tool at Bank Sampah SiHatin, the effectiveness of the tool was tested by comparing the manual method and the use of the cutting tool. The results of the analysis show that the use of this tool is able to increase the cutting speed by 58%, produce more uniform cuts, and eliminate the risk of injury due to the use of cutters. In addition, this tool also improves occupational safety and health (K3) aspects and has a positive impact on the economic value of cutting products. Thus, this innovation is an effective solution in plastic waste management in the informal sector and can be adopted more widely in various other Waste Banks

South Tangerang City is one of the areas prone to flooding, with various influencing factors, such as a lack of communication between local government organizations and weak spatial planning supervision. Uncontrolled development by several large developers has constricted river flows, while suboptimal drainage and water absorption systems have exacerbated the situation. In flood mitigation efforts, coordination between the Regional Disaster Management Agency, the Public Works Agency and the Environment Agency is necessary to ensure anticipatory efforts and sustainable solutions. Existing Regional Regulations and Governor Regulations, including regional spatial plans and technical guidelines for flood control, are an important foundation for flood management in the region. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze how the implementation of flood disaster mitigation policies in Regional Regulation Number 2 of 2012 concerning Disaster Management. This research uses the theory of George C. Edward III. with 4 indicators, namely communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results showed that the unity of action in handling floods still faced obstacles, where the Environmental Agency had not fully carried out its responsibilities in maintaining waste in drainage channels and rivers.

Garbage is a problem that often occurs everywhere. One example is in Tanjungpinang City with various types of waste problems, one of which is plastic waste. For this reason, it needs to be handled seriously. One of the measures that has been carried out by the Tanjungpinang City government regarding the handling of plastic waste is to create a Tanjungpinang Mayor regulation policy no. 14 of 2022 concerning reducing the use of plastic bags. This regulatory policy was implemented on July 7 2022 and the policy of this regulation has been in place for approximately 2 years now. However, the results of implementing this policy regulation are still not as expected, with the data that has been presented in the background proving that every year there is an increase and plastic waste is in second place among the number of types of waste that exist. For this reason, this research aims to evaluate all forms of activities in implementing this policy using a descriptive qualitative approach according to the evaluation theory of Abdulkahar Badjuri & Teguh Yuwono (2002) which consists of 4 indicators, namely: suitability evaluation, effectiveness evaluation, efficiency evaluation and meta evaluation. Based on this theory, this research hopes that in the future this problem can be resolved and that regulatory policies run as expected so as to produce the desired results.

The large percentage of waste is a problem and an opportunity in solving waste problems. Waste management is a systematic, comprehensive, and continuous activity that includes waste reduction and handling. What can be done is by involving and providing education to the community that produces waste. Community participation in waste management is basically interpreted as actively participating in a series of waste management, transportation, and disposal activities based on self-awareness and responsibility to achieve targets in creating a clean and healthy environment. The purpose of this paper is to describe waste management, stages of participation, types of participation, and levels of community participation in waste management in 3 case studies, namely the Margaluyu Environment, Bone Puteh Hamlet and Palattae Village.
