Abstract

Plastic waste management has become a critical environmental issue, with its improper handling leading to severe ecological and health impacts. This research addresses the challenge by designing and developing an IoT-based mobile plastic shredding machine aimed at improving waste management efficiency, particularly in Batam City, Indonesia. Utilizing Borg and Gall’s R&D framework, this study integrates IoT technology to enhance the machine’s functionality, enabling real-time data collection and remote monitoring through mobile applications. The machine comprises three functional levels: a storage area for raw plastic bottles, a shredding unit with proximity sensors, and a post-shredding storage compartment. Key innovations include weight sensors for automatic material handling and real-time data transmission via the Blynk IoT platform, controlled by an Arduino microcontroller. The modular design ensures portability, easy maintenance, and adaptability for use in various locations, including coastal areas. Prototyping involved integrating proximity sensors, load cells, relays, and motor control systems to ensure smooth operation. The machine demonstrated consistent performance during testing, with its IoT features enabling remote control and monitoring via smartphones. This facilitates optimized waste collection and contributes to reducing environmental pollution caused by plastic waste. The IoT-based mobile plastic shredding machine not only enhances waste management efficiency but also supports sustainability goals. Its portability and environmentally friendly design make it a practical solution for managing plastic waste in underserved areas. This innovation provides a significant step toward addressing the global plastic waste crisis, aligning with technological advancements to promote sustainable waste management practices.

Abstract

Marine debris is a serious problem, especially in the outermost, foremost, and least developed (3T) islands of Indonesia, where limited infrastructure and low public awareness are the main obstacles to effective waste management. This study aims to design, develop, and evaluate an Internet of Things (IoT)-based application integrated with a community-based web platform to support circular economy practices and community empowerment in marine debris management. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) adapted from Borg & Gall, starting from the needs analysis stage to dissemination. An IoT module equipped with ultrasonic and GPS sensors is used to detect container capacity and location in real-time. Performance testing results show a response time of 1.8 seconds, a data transmission success rate of 98.7%, and a capacity detection accuracy of 96.2%, which meets the established technical standards. User acceptance testing using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) involving 15 respondents resulted in an average Perceived Usefulness (PU) score of 4.40 and Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) of 4.23. Pearson's correlation analysis showed an r value of 0.84 (p = 0.0001), indicating a very strong and significant positive relationship between ease of use and perceived usefulness. This finding confirms that the developed system is technically reliable, easy to use, and capable of promoting environmental sustainability and economic opportunities in the 3T island communities.

Abstract

Plastic waste accumulation poses a severe environmental burden, particularly in urban and archipelagic regions where centralized treatment infrastructure is limited. While thermal processing offers a pathway for volume reduction and material recovery, inadequate temperature control frequently leads to uncontrolled combustion and the formation of hazardous air pollutants. This study addresses this gap by developing and experimentally validating a low-emission, IoT-enabled mobile plastic melting system designed for decentralized paving block production. The proposed system integrates real-time thermal sensing using a K-type thermocouple and an ESP32-based controller with a compact three-nozzle water spray filtration unit. The control architecture maintains the melting process at approximately 270 °C, thereby preserving polymer viscosity for molding while preventing temperature excursions beyond 300 °C that may initiate combustion and toxic by-product formation. The filtration module operates as a simplified wet scrubber, capturing airborne particulates and simultaneously cooling the exhaust stream. Experimental evaluations confirm that the integrated control–filtration framework achieves stable thermal regulation and substantial suppression of visible exhaust emissions. Under these conditions, molten plastic was consistently transformed into dense paving blocks with smooth surface morphology and without evidence of polymer degradation or charring. The results demonstrate that combining IoT-based thermal governance with low-cost water-spray emission control provides an effective and scalable alternative to open burning for community-level plastic waste recycling. This mobile platform enables environmentally safer conversion of plastic waste into value-added construction materials, offering a practical pathway toward decentralized circular-economy implementation in resource-constrained regions.
