This study aims to analyze the rights and obligations of states in an effort to conserve marine animals and encourage the enforcement of related international legal principles. Marine animals are natural resources that are vulnerable to overexploitation and environmental damage. States have the right to utilize marine resources, but are also obliged to protect marine biodiversity in accordance with the principles of international law. This research uses a normative approach by examining international legal instruments such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), as well as related national laws and regulations. The results showed that the country must uphold the principle of sustainable use of marine resources and protect marine ecosystems from damage. This enforcement can be done through international cooperation, strengthening regulations, and empowering local communities. This research provides recommendations to strengthen law enforcement in conserving marine animals and ensuring a balance between state rights and obligations.

This study aims to analyze the influence of integrated reporting and ESG risks on sustainable development goals in companies listed in the LQ45 index for the 2020-2022 period. This research method uses a quantitative approach by collecting data from financial reports and company sustainability reports. Integrated reporting is measured using indicators of integrated reporting elements and ESG risks are taken based on risk assessments related to the environment, social and corporate governance published by the IDX in collaboration with Morningstar Sustainalytics. The sampling method used purposive sampling and 36 companies were observed within 3 years so that the resulting data was 108. The results of this research show that integrated reporting has a significant positive influence on sustainable development goals. However, ESG risks have no effect on sustainable development goals. Therefore, companies need to implement integrated reporting practices in contributing to the SDGs.

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 determine students' awareness of the importance of disposing of rubbish in the right place, which is an important part of maintaining a clean campus environment. However, this lack of awareness often becomes a detrimental problem, reflecting a lack of understanding of the negative impacts of this behavior. Several factors that may influence this lack of awareness include a lack of environmental education, ignorance of environmental impacts, and a lack of enforcement of regulations related to waste management. The importance of improving student awareness in this regard cannot be overstated, considering their important role in maintaining the cleanliness and sustainability of the campus environment. Therefore, coordinated efforts are needed between educational institutions, local governments and the community to increase students' awareness of the importance of disposing of waste in the right place through education, social campaigns and consistent enforcement of rules. In this way, it is hoped that a clean, healthy and sustainable campus environment can be created for the entire academic community.

Food ingredients in general are very sensitive and easily experience quality degradation due to environmental, chemical, biochemical, microbiological, oxygen, water, light and temperature factors. To prevent this damage, the food product is packaged with plastic packaging material. Until now, plastic polymers are the most widely used packaging materials. In Indonesia, the use of plastic packaging materials by the food industry and other food business actors as food packaging has occupied a portion of 80% and 55%. This will of course result in danger to the environment. Packaging with edible coating/film is a relatively new food preservation technique. Research on coating food products with edible coating/film has been widely carried out and has been proven to extend the shelf life and improve the quality of food products. The safest, most potential and most widely researched polymer material for edible coating/film is a renewable organic material based on starch. Starch is a type of polysaccharide from plants that is abundantly available in nature, is biodegradable, easy to obtain and cheap. Edible packaging made from organic materials has the opportunity to be developed to meet the needs of safe packaging for consumers and support sustainable agriculture and realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's), considering that there is an abundance of edible packaging materials in Indonesia that have not been utilized optimally. The application of environmentally friendly edible packaging is expected to provide very significant benefits in the development of food technology, namely aspects of maintaining quality, both in terms of nutritional value and food safety, extending product shelf life and being able to increase the added value of the materials that make up edible packaging.

This study focuses on optimizing electric vehicle (EV) battery recycling through the use of green chemical processes and circular economy principles. The research aims to enhance the recovery of valuable metals lithium, cobalt, and nickel from used lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in an environmentally sustainable manner. Green solvents were employed as a safer alternative to conventional, toxic chemicals, minimizing hazardous waste emissions and improving the efficiency of the recycling process. Experimental results showed that the green solvent-based process achieved high recovery rates of 90% for cobalt, 87% for nickel, and 85% for lithium, with metal purity levels exceeding 95% for all three metals. The study also examined the scalability of the green solvent method, revealing its potential to offer more sustainable and cost-effective solutions compared to traditional methods, which typically involve high temperatures and toxic chemicals. Despite the promising results, challenges such as solvent recovery and the adaptation of the process for large-scale industrial applications remain. Nonetheless, the study demonstrates that integrating green solvent-based recycling into the global EV supply chain can significantly reduce environmental impacts, conserve resources, and support the transition to a circular economy. The findings highlight the potential of this recycling method to provide a more sustainable and efficient solution for EV battery recycling, ultimately contributing to the development of a more sustainable EV industry.
