Abstract

The Medan City TPA in the Waterfall Village, Medan Marelan District is the final disposal site for the City of Medan. The composition of the waste at the Waterfall TPA in 2017 consisted of 71.5% organic; Paper 2%; Plastic 10.1%; wood 2%; fabric 2.5% rubber 2.5%; metal 0.6%; glass 0.8%; 1 % chunks; pampers / sanitary napkins 3, 1% and others 3.8% (Department of Hygiene and Parks City Medan). Based on this condition, if waste management efforts are not carried out properly, the service level based on the MDGs (Millineum Development Goals) target of 80% will not be achieved. The composition of plastic waste of 10.1% is quite high. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (2017) stated that plastic waste increased by 15% from 10% in 2005. The increase will continue in line with the need and use of plastic. Plastic is difficult to decompose, so one thing that can be done is only with 3 R's, namely reuse, reduce and recycle. Reuse by using plastic over and over again, reduce by reducing the use of plastic and recycle by recycling plastic. one of the recycled plastics is with eco-bricks. Ecobricks are a collection of all types of used, clean and dry plastic in used plastic bottles so that they reach a certain density and function as building blocks that can be used over and over again. Ecobrick is a simple solution and simple technology in recycling plastic. Ecobricks can provide direct benefits of Rp. 289,000, - / m2 - Rp. 471.000, - / m2, the price of waste utilization is 57.800-78.500 gr/m2, the price of indirect utilization is Rp. 404,600 – Rp. 549,500 m2

Abstract

The persimmon fruit (Diospyros kaki) or Oriental persimmon is a complex plant that lives in the wild for hundreds of years growing in Indonesia in the highlands of at least 1000 above sea level; this plant turns out to function to resist erosion, landslides, and floods because of its strong roots and form fibers inside. The soil so that can withstand soil shifts that are suppressed by water. Besides stems, seeds, fruit from persimmon is also beneficial for health. However, some of this persimmon ecosystem has been cut down because its economic value is too low for the community. The purpose of this study is to determine the monetary value of the remaining persimmon ecosystem, determine what impacts humans feel when cutting down persimmon trees and determine alternative policies with the management of persimmon cultivation in the city of Takengon. This study used a survey method; sampling was selected by purposive sampling. The analysis used is the formula for total economic value (total economic value/TEV), willingness to accept (WTA). The results of this study indicate that the total monetary value of the persimmon ecosystem area in Takengon City is Rp. 27,175,000,000/ha/yr. The estimated economic value of the persimmon area is Rp.254.316 million/year.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to find out E.Coli Analysis of Settlement without Slums in Deli River Watershed, Hamdan Sub-District, Medan Maimun. The results shows that  E. Colli Laboratory amounting to 21420 - 36540/100 ml, still above the quality standards set by PP No.82 of 2001 concerning the management of water quality and control of water pollution. The results of the analysis of Total Coliform Laboratory of 198630 - 241960/100 ml, are still above the quality standards set by PP No.82 of 2001 concerning the management of water quality and control of water pollution. Alternative water treatment needs to be done before structuring buildings around the river location by means of filtration treatment and disinfecting. The arrangement that needs to be done next is to make a bathroom around the river location.

Abstract

Light bulb waste is one type of waste that is categorized into B3 waste which can cause environmental pollution, environmental pollution produced by waste and the absence of efficient handling methods is a problem currently faced by the government, especially non-organic waste which includes hazardous waste. and cannot be decomposed. Light bulb waste is included in the inorganic waste category, although the production of light bulb waste is still small, the waste has great potential for environmental pollution, so it is necessary to study environmental conservation efforts from this waste. Another problem is the potential for recycling waste light bulbs which is currently not fully utilized by the government and the public. The Innovation of Emergency Lighting Design based on Environmentally Friendly Technology (TRL) is a study to find out and analyze the results of recycling waste light bulbs into energy-efficient emergency lighting with the concept of Reduce, Reus, and Recycle to produce a product that can be reused. Research with analytical methods is carried out as an approach to the implementation of research. The analysis was carried out to find out the results of the field review data, besides that the analysis was also carried out from the electrical side in the form of measuring the electrical components contained in the light bulb so that it could support the success of the research. The results showed that recycled lighting can be implemented as an alternative lamp that is environmentally friendly.
