Waste that is not properly processed can cause environmental pollution. In Bangunrejo Village, problems were found in waste management. The emergence of problems in waste management is caused by various factors such as lack of public awareness and supporting facilities and infrastructure. The accumulation of waste in Bangunrejo Village has a significant negative impact on the environment, including soil and water pollution, as well as health problems for local residents. This study aims to analyze the factors causing waste accumulation, negative impacts on the environment, and handling efforts that can be carried out in Bangunrejo Village. The results of the study indicate that active participation between village communities and support from the village government are the keys to success in creating a clean and healthy environment in Bangunrejo Village.

Waste sludge is sludge that contains a lot of solids resulting from solid-liquid separation from industrial waste. The waste sludge produced from the waste processing process will create new problems in handling because it can pollute the environment. This research will discuss the use of IPAL sludge originating from the Sludge Drying Bed (SDB) to be used as organic fertilizer. In the process of making organic fertilizer in the cake and snack industry by monitoring parameters such as color, texture, smell and properties of organic fertilizer during the process of making organic fertilizer. The characteristic results obtained in this research are blackish brown color, rough texture, earthy odor and the resulting moisture is dry. Thus, the use of WWTP sludge as organic fertilizer offers an innovative and industrial solution that contributes positively to the environment.  

The waste problem is a problem that has never been resolved until now, especially in the Jakarta area. Every year this problem is unstoppable, giving rise to new problems from health problems, environmental problems, social problems and other problems. Of course, this problem needs the right solution so that waste management and processing according to the mandate of Law 18 of 2008 can run well. One solution offered by the Jakarta regional government is to relocate the waste processing site in Bantargebang to a new place which will later be built into a waste island. This type of research uses normative legal research, which is research carried out by examining the laws and regulations that apply or are applied to a particular legal problem. Normative research is often referred to as doctrinal research, namely research whose object of study is legal and regulatory documents and library materials. In normative research, law is seen as synonymous with written norms, which are created and promulgated by authorized institutions or officials and reviews law as a normative system that is autonomous, independent, closed and detached from real community life. From the solutions offered by the Jakarta regional government that can create "two blades", the first thing that can be seen is that the formation of a waste island is a solution step for handling waste that is currently occurring and also raises the question of how to move existing waste to the waste island. Therefore, appropriate regulations are needed if this plan is later realized. This research method is normative legal research, which is research carried out by examining the laws and regulations that apply or are applied to a particular legal problem.

Plastic waste is a global problem that is increasing every year because it is difficult to decompose. This article discusses the growth in waste volume in Indonesia which is triggered by population growth, urbanization, and changes in consumption patterns, as well as the main challenges in waste management at the Bantargebang TPST. Through a qualitative approach and case studies, this article highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to waste management, including the establishment of waste banks and increasing public awareness. The main challenges at the Bantargebang TPST include decreasing capacity and difficulties in handling single-use plastic waste. The proposed solutions include expanding TPST capacity, implementing environmentally friendly technology, increasing public awareness, developing adequate infrastructure, and greater funding allocation. Collaboration between the government, the private sector and the community is the key to overcoming this challenge and building a sustainable and environmentally friendly waste management system at the Bantargebang TPST.

The results of the analysis show that waste management in Jombang, strengths, namely, local government support, the achievement of the Banjardowo landfill, 14 Adipura awards, cross-sector collaboration, the Waste Bank program, and the Jogoroto TPS 3R strategy reflect the success of waste management in Jombang Regency. Weaknesses, namely, low waste management services, increasing volume, lack of participation, depending on APBN/APBD, not optimal sorting, limited human resources, lack of socialization, uneven TPS. Opportunities, namely, Potential to increase public participation through education, collaboration with the private sector for innovation, development of Waste Bank and digitalization, stronger regulations for TPS construction, and application of new technology for efficiency and sustainability. Threats, namely, The increase in waste volume can cause landfills to be exceeded, dependence on unstable APBN/APBD funding, changes in government policies, inconsistent community responses, and cross-sector coordination challenges.      

Economic growth and increasing population density in adulthood require awareness regarding environmental concern. Caring for the environment is an important thing that must be done to prevent natural damage and maintain ecosystem balance. Nganjuk Regency, with a population density of around 1,103,902 people in 2020, of course produces quite a lot of household waste. There is a need to increase awareness and change attitudes regarding waste sorting and processing to create a clean and healthy environment, which is the aim of holding waste bin procurement activities. Seeing that Setren Village SDGs number 12, namely Environmentally Conscious Village Consumption and Production, still has not met the target score that must be achieved, knowledge regarding waste sorting needs to be emphasized more. The method used was direct observation in the Setren Village environment, then a Focus Group Discussion was held regarding handling waste problems to create a healthy environment. The results of the community service carried out are the provision of waste sorting bins and socialization of waste sorting. Apart from that, there has been an increase in knowledge regarding types of waste for the people of Setren Village.

The Citarum River, as one of the important environmental assets in Indonesia, has experienced serious pollution due to industrial waste. Environmental legal regulations have been implemented to address these issues, but questions arise regarding the effectiveness of their implementation. This article analyzes the effectiveness of environmental legal regulations in handling cases of factory waste pollution in the Citarum River, with a focus on the level of industrial compliance and its impact on the environment. This study uses a qualitative approach by reviewing the applicable environmental legal regulations, as well as analyzing the level of industry compliance with these regulations. In addition, the impact of compliance or violations on the environment is also evaluated. The results of the analysis show that although environmental legal regulations exist, their implementation is still not optimal. Many factories still violate the limits that have been set, either because of a lack of strict law enforcement or because of a lack of awareness of the importance of environmental conservation. As a result, the Citarum River continues to experience pollution which is detrimental to the environment and public health. Existing environmental legal regulations are not effective enough in handling cases of factory waste pollution in the Citarum River. More serious efforts are needed from the government, industry and society to overcome this problem. Concrete steps are needed to increase industrial compliance, reduce waste pollution, and preserve the Citarum River environment for the welfare of the community and sustainability of the ecosystem. Further research can be conducted to evaluate the implementation of remedial actions and their impact on future environmental conditions. This article concludes the need for improvement measures in the implementation of environmental legal regulations, including stricter law enforcement and efforts to increase environmental awareness among industry. Apart from that, cooperation between government, industry and civil society is also important to achieve the restoration of a clean and healthy Citarum River.

Coffee is a plantation crop that has long been planted and cultivated in Lombok. Senaru Village, Bayan District, North Lombok Regency is the largest robusta coffee producing area in Lombok with 225 hectares of coffee land. One of the coffee processing places in Senaru Village is the producer of Ayah Senaru Fermented Coffee which still uses the dry sun method with a tool called a widik. This drying method has many disadvantages because it takes a long time, is very dependent on the weather and is unhygienic. The process of drying coffee is the main factor that can determine the quality of coffee, which is why there is a need for technology as a coffee drying medium that is capable of producing quality coffee. Handling after harvest can be improved by applying modern coffee drying technology, namely greenhouses. The aim of this activity is to increase partner profits through an IoT integrated coffee drying greenhouse (GEEOTI) which is able to streamline coffee drying time and produce hygienic coffee skin waste. The method applied is the creation of GEEOTI, socialization of its use and analysis of the impact on increasing partner profits. The results of the research are that greenhouses can have a positive effect in speeding up, flattening the drying process and improving the quality of coffee compared to conventional methods. The waste from the coffee skins produced also becomes more hygienic coffee waste so it can be used as cascara tea. This activity can certainly increase partner profits by up to 100%. The partner's income, which was initially only IDR 5,100,000, was able to become IDR 13,950,000 per month because with the use of GEEOTI there was an increase in the price of coffee and the addition of a by-product in the form of cascara tea from coffee skin waste.  

The impact of a policy can occur outside the wishes of the policy formulator or commonly called unexpected impacts. PLTSA Benowo is the result of collaboration between the Surabaya City Government and PT Sumber Organik and is equipped with gasification power plant technology which is regulated in PERPRES No. 35 of 2018. This PLTSA policy is a form of handling the national waste problem, such as eliminating waste and providing socio-economic benefits in the vicinity. The purpose of this study was to analyze and describe how the evaluation of the impact that occurred from the PLTSA development policy on the community of Sumberrejo Village, Pakal District, Surabaya City. The research method in this study uses descriptive qualitative methods, for data collection through observation, documentation, and observation. The results of this study show 3 indicators including Individual Impact shows the positive impact of PLTSa for the Community economically, while the negative impact shows that it is not disturbed from the remaining emissions from the waste combustion process released by PLTSa Benowo. Community Impact The positive impact shows that it affects the increase in the economy of the wider community of Sumberrejo Village, while the negative impact is that the community feels an increase in air pollution that disturbs the comfort of the community due to air pollution from PLTSa Benowo. Social System Impact The positive impact shows a change in the social system in the community because there is an increase in economic structure and a reduction in unemployment, while the negative impact shows there is an indication of social inequality such as feelings of envy from people who do not get economic benefits from PLTSa to people who get economic benefits from PLTSa Benowo.  

The problem of household waste/waste is no stranger to Indonesian society. This happens because of the lack of socialization in the community about how important it is to keep the environment clean. The Kogoro Settlement, Tanjungpinang City, is one of the areas experiencing household garbage/waste problems, which until now have not found a clear solution to this problem. Residential areas, which are almost entirely above sea level, exacerbate the situation in the area due to the large amount of garbage and waste carried by sea water. This problem must be resolved as soon as possible to maintain sustainability and the ecosystem runs smoothly. Therefore the government of Tanjungpinang City issued Regional Regulation No. 03 of 2015 concerning waste management, which aims to solve various problems and provide the concept of handling management as well as sanctions for those who violate these rules. In this study, we will examine the policies implemented by the Tanjungpinang City government in dealing with environmental problems. Using the Normative-Empirical method, this research will delve deeper into these environmental problems which include the existence of sanctions, ideas, rules in Tanjungpinang including the Kosgoro settlement. However, in implementing these rules, the Government of Kosgoro did not implement them as they should. This is supported by the people who are only given advice to throw garbage into trash cans which are quite far above the settlement due to the narrow access road in the Kosgoro area. Lack of government attention makes people less aware of managing household waste and waste.  

The development of Solar Photovoltaic Power Plants (SPPVs) as Renewable Energy in Indonesia is increasingly growing. However, SPPVs have a relatively short lifespan, necessitating the proper management of their waste, particularly solar panels. This research aims are, firstly, to analyse the regulations governing the parties responsible for managing waste from SPPVs that have reached the end of their lifespan. And, secondly, to compare waste management regulations for solar panels implemented in Europe and America as best practices for handling end-of-life SPPV waste. This research employs a normative juridical and comparative-descriptive research method, comparing regulations and implementation of SPPV waste management in Indonesia and other countries. The Finding of this research are in line with Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management and Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021, which states that any person or business entity generating waste is obligated to handle and restore it, in practice, the Power Purchase Agreement stipulates that waste management of SPPVs is the responsibility of the winning Project Company (in this case, the Consortium). And, in Europe and several US states have issued regulations for managing waste from end-of-life SPPVs. These regulations require solar panel manufacturers to have a recycling program for their own products after their end-of-life. However, managing end-of-life solar panel waste is a complex issue that requires cooperation from various stakeholders, including the government, project companies, and solar panel manufacturers. Adopting waste management policies from Europe and America is recommended to ensure that SPPV waste management is conducted responsibly and environmentally friendly.    

In the midst of rapid industrial progress and global economic growth, the use of plastic has increased dramatically, causing serious environmental problems due to the accumulation of plastic waste. One of the most worrying aspects of this problem is the presence of microplastics, namely plastic particles less than five millimeters in size. The more accumulation of plastic waste found in the waters will cause damage to the surrounding water and sea environment, plastic waste that is not collected will be exposed to sunlight and exposure to air, the longer it will decompose into small particles called microplastics. In this research, the author researched using the library research method, namely by collecting and studying existing literature from various sources such as: journals, articles, books and others related to this research. Microplastics have spread widely in the environment, from oceans to land, and have had a serious impact on organisms and ecosystems throughout the world. The process by which microplastics are formed, their distribution in the environment, their impact on aquatic and terrestrial organisms, and their potential impact on human health are the main focus research and public attention. To overcome the microplastic problem, a holistic approach is needed that involves collaboration across sectors and scientific disciplines. Handling and mitigation efforts must cover various aspects, starting from regulating the use of single-use plastics, more effective management of plastic waste, developing technology for detecting and eliminating microplastics, to educating the public about the dangers of microplastics and the importance of environmentally friendly behavior. Concrete steps such as banning the use of single-use plastics, promoting recycling, innovation in product design, and cross-border cooperation in managing plastic waste are key in efforts to reduce the negative impact of microplastics. Only by taking these steps together can we create a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable environment for future generations.

The aim of this research is to understand the extent to which the Sentiong community cares about managing household waste. The method used is descriptive qualitative using data collection techniques carried out through investigations and interviews. The results of the research imply that the awareness of the Sentiong community in dominating household waste is still in the small category. This is due to the large amount of waste being thrown away haphazardly, the lack of waste sorting, and the lack of public knowledge. Throwing away rubbish is a daily activity that everyone does, this can lead to deviant behavior if it is carried out by people who behave badly towards the environment. Waste can cause problems, but it can also strengthen the economic life of the community. Various types of waste produced from industry and households, if not managed well and correctly, will have the potential to weaken the community's economy, this is because it will absorb quite a large amount of funds for handling waste that is not managed well and correctly, which is considered from a hygiene, health and environmental perspective.

Medical waste management is an important aspect of the modern health system to reduce its negative impact on the environment and human health. This article reviews various aspects of medical waste management, including the collection, processing and final disposal processes. Medical waste is collected from various health facilities, including hospitals, clinics, medical laboratories and doctors' practices. Waste management starts at the source, by separating hazardous and non-hazardous waste to ensure proper handling according to its characteristics. This process requires the use of special containers and staff training to ensure safety and compliance with applicable regulations. Awareness of the importance of safe medical waste management is increasing, with health organizations and governments working to improve regulations and educate the public about responsible practices. In a global context, international cooperation is key in overcoming the challenges of managing medical waste effectively. Thus, medical waste management is not only the responsibility of individuals or institutions, but is a joint effort to maintain environmental and community health.

The community has the right to get a clean, beautiful, comfortable and healthy environment; get cleaning services; utilizing and processing waste; actively participate in waste management activities; and obtain information from local governments and/or other parties that are directly related to the sustainability of life related to waste. This right has direct implications for the community's obligations regarding the management of household waste and/or similar household waste by being obliged to reduce and/or handle waste in an environmentally sound manner. Unfortunately, the handling of environmentally sound waste has not gone well due to inadequate facilities, enforcement of regulations, and low awareness of the community itself. PT. Wahana Anugerah Energi has developed a waste collection and transportation system using a smartphone application called Rapel. Rapel campaigns for sustainable waste management in households. Currently, Rapel provides garbage pick-up services, especially for recycled waste. However, the problems faced include: wide community reach but with Human Resources (HR) PT. The Wahana Anugerah Energi (Rapel Surakarta) is limited, facilities and infrastructure for the ongoing development of understanding of waste management for the community are not sufficient, the application of Rapel is not yet known by the people of Surakarta. overcome, the lack of public awareness of Surakarta City regarding waste management, lack of cooperation and coordination with agencies related to waste problems so that Rapel technology has not received public knowledge, Surakarta people do not know about data integration related to environmental information. From this problem, we  design a social marketing communication program so that Rapel Indonesia's goal of encouraging people to sort household waste can be achieved. To achieve this, we design a waste sorting workshop by presenting credible sources such as Lyfe With Less Representative and Rapel Indonesia Manager.

Intestinal diseases caused by transmission from worms as a source of helminthiasis generally occur in areas with subtropical and tropical climate conditions which have a wet climate and lack of awareness among the public regarding maintaining health and sanitation of the surrounding environment. Around 60 percent of Indonesians experience worm infections. The largest age group is 5-14 years old. The prevalence figure is 60 percent, 21 percent of which attack elementary school age children. This disease can be spread by eggs in human waste found in soil and water, therefore awareness of clean and sanitary living is very influential, the process or pattern of feces disposal is also very influential in the spread of this worm. The high rate of soil contamination by Ascaris, which reaches >70%, can also be caused by feces that are thrown anywhere, such as in bushes or around houses close to where you live.  Preventing recurrent infections is very important by practicing clean and healthy living habits such as avoiding contact with soil that may be contaminated with human feces, washing hands with soap and water before handling food, protecting food from soil and washing or heating food that falls on the floor. Several researchers have shown that school age is a group that is often affected by worm infections because they are often in contact with soil. Apart from the government, the role of teachers and parents is very important in providing understanding or knowledge about worms so that they are more disciplined. The aim of community service is to provide knowledge and understanding to class IV/A students at SD N Pannara regarding the dangers of worms and how to prevent them and administer worm medicine.    

The handling of plastic waste in Indonesia, especially in Central Java, poses a serious issue. Bank Sampah Banjarnegara (BSB) in Kasilib Village, Wanadadi, Banjarnegara, stands as a successful example in addressing this problem. The motivation from the increasing plastic waste prompted BSB to seek innovative solutions. Through the Fastpol 5.0 technology, BSB successfully converted plastic waste into high-efficiency fuel oil. Fastpol 5.0, a fifth-generation pyrolysis machine, can transform plastic waste through the fast pyrolysis and catalytic cracking processes. The machine excels in efficiency, the ability to produce various types of fuel, and plasma technology to clean combustion residues. This innovation is acknowledged through the nomination for the 2023 Innovative Government Award (IGA). BSB not only prioritizes economic aspects but also considers the environmental and public health impacts. Collaboration with waste collectors is a holistic approach to managing plastic waste. In addition to Fastpol 5.0, BSB has also developed a practical kerosene stove in the hope of providing economic and environmental solutions. The success of BSB demonstrates that technology-based solutions can be a positive step in handling plastic waste. It is recommended for these solutions to be adopted by other regions while increasing public awareness of waste separation. Environmental sustainability can be achieved through technological innovations that are not only effective but also have positive economic and social impacts.

In daily life, waste is something that is always there. Finding out about the current waste management system in Medan Krio, Sunggal subdistrict, and Deli Serdang district is the goal of this study. Qualitative research using a descriptive observational design is the methodology employed. The study employed various research techniques, including field surveys, participant-led focus groups, open interviews, and literature reviews. Representatives from the Environmental Agency, village heads, village representative bodies, youth organizations, and village organizations were among the participants in this study. The study's findings indicate that the village's waste management is still inadequate. This is because there isn't enough land to erect temporary shelters, the infrastructure and facilities are still subpar, and there is still a low level of public awareness of the significance of proper waste management. A budget for the purchase of land that will be used for temporary housing should be included, along with recommendations for routine village clean-up schedules and socialization about proper and ethical waste management.

The aim of this research is to provide a clear picture of the handling of criminal acts of environmental pollution in waste processing at PT Royal Coconut Gorontalo.This research uses empirical legal research methods. Empirical legal studies themselves are studies that view law as reality, including social reality, cultural reality, and empirical studies of the world. This research took place at the Environment and Forestry Service of Gorontalo Province. The results of this research show that: Handling criminal acts of environmental pollution in waste processing at PT Royal Coconut Gorontalo has not been handled properly and correctly. Good and correct handling has not been implemented due to internal factors such as communication, supervision, individual, financial and others, as well as external factors such as community factors, law enforcement, culture, advice and infrastructure. Ineffective handling can have an impact on society. Waste from processing is very dangerous when it pollutes residents' areas, the impact that can be felt by the community is contracting disease and can even cause death if it is not handled according to waste processing procedures. Law enforcement against environmental pollution which triggers criminal acts in Gorontalo Province has not been implemented properly. This is due to several factors that have not been fulfilled optimally. This can be seen from various factors such as law enforcement not being optimal in terms of a persuasive approach, inadequate facilities and infrastructure with limited human resources, as well as community habits and culture which consider environmental pollution to be a normal and common occurrence.

Findings in the Medan Denai and Medan Tembung traditional markets show that waste management is good, but waste management discipline has not been implemented, especially in the Sukaramai, Mandala, Pagi and Sore traditional markets, it appears that there are still people who do not implement it. don't care about cleanliness unless it's clean.Research in traditional markets shows that waste management is still not adhered to, such as a lack of waste sorting and processing processes, as well as market environments filled with large amounts of waste. One of the problems with waste in traditional markets is that there is a relatively large amount of it, which creates its own problems.This happens in traditional markets as an economic medium, where existing activities such as buying and selling from traders to consumers or from traders to traders indirectly create piles of rubbish.Studies at traditional markets in Medan City show that the behavior of traders in disposing of waste has a significant impact on increasing the volume of waste in traditional markets.In this case, handling waste problems in traditional markets actually requires the participation of traders.The waste problem at Sukaramai Market, Mandala Market, Morning Market and Afternoon Market is caused by an inefficient management system, accumulation of unsorted waste and the absence of a special group appointed by market managers to handle cleanliness and waste problems. Lots of rubbish scattered in the market.
