Abstract

The plastic waste recycling industry plays a crucial role in reducing environmental impacts while creating economic value through recycling. This study aims to identify strategies for selecting recycled raw materials that can enhance the profitability of the plastic recycling industry. Using a literature review approach, the study explores various sources of raw materials, such as household, industrial, and commercial waste and analyzes their quality, contamination levels, and processing costs. The findings indicate that high-quality raw materials with low contamination levels, such as industrial waste, result in higher production efficiency and lower costs compared to other materials. Additionally, the adoption of modern technologies such as chemical recycling can increase production efficiency by up to 85%. This study contributes by providing a strategic framework for selecting appropriate raw materials, supporting both environmental sustainability and industry profitability.

Abstract

The strategic implementation of alternative raw materials has emerged as a pivotal approach to enhance cost efficiency and sustainability within the craft industry. This study employs a literature review approach to examine the use of local materials, organic waste, and recycled materials as substitutes for conventional inputs in MSME production. The findings indicate that replacing traditional raw materials can reduce production costs by up to 50% while enhancing product competitiveness in environmentally friendly markets. This innovation also generates social impact through the empowerment of local communities and the establishment of shorter supply chains. Nevertheless, challenges such as supply instability, technical limitations, and a paucity of regulatory support persist as significant obstacles. Consequently, a collaborative effort among government entities, micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), designers, and research institutions is imperative to fortify the sustainable innovation ecosystem. The study's findings indicate that the adoption of alternative material innovations is not only conducive to economic efficiency but also serves as a catalyst for more inclusive and environmentally sustainable development.
