Abstract

There is evidence that marine plastic pollution affects marine life and ecological services. The potential hazard to human health from chemical additions in plastics is also present. Although desirable, the recycling of plastics is now limited by the complexity of the materials and chemicals, the limitations of available technologies, and market demands. This study was conducted to discover the challenges and future of marine debris policy. This study takes two locations, Indonesia and Taiwan, which have issued marine debris policies simultaneously. At the same time, the Indonesian and Taiwanese governments 2018 issued a policy to reduce marine debris. Following Presidential Decree Number 83/2018 concerning Handling Marine Debris, the Government of Indonesia published a National Action Plan for Handling Marine Debris for 2018–2025. Following this law, the Indonesian government agreed to handle 70% of the solid trash generated within eight years between 2018 and 2025, eliminate marine debris by 70%, and reduce solid waste by 30%. In Taiwan, the "Action Plan of Marine Debris Governance, " issued in 2018 by this alliance and the EPA, contains a schedule for the phase-out of four single-use plastic items (plastic bags, straws, utensils, and takeaway cups). Source reduction, prevention and removal, monitoring and surveying (including research), and outreach and public involvement are the four objectives of this action plan. Although implementing the policy is different, the objectives carried out in Indonesia and Taiwan are the same: reducing waste from sources and increasing community participation in action plan programs.

Abstract

The development of ecotourism in Goa Rangko, Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, has increased waste generation, resulting in environmental degradation and negative impacts on the tourism industry. To address this issue and achieve sustainable tourism, this study aims to investigate the current waste management system in Goa Rangko and propose an optimized solution. The research was conducted through direct field observations and the collection of secondary data from literature and government documents. Waste characterization studies were undertaken to determine waste generation and composition. Based on the findings, a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) was recommended for waste management. The MRF would encompass a source-to-final processing system, ensuring efficient waste handling. Any residue from the process would be appropriately disposed of in the landfill. In addition to the MRF, the study proposes the involvement of the local community, along with education and awareness-raising programs. These initiatives aim to foster a sense of responsibility among the residents and tourists in managing waste sustainably. Moreover, the study suggests implementing an ecotourism certification program to support sustainable tourism development in Goa Rangko.
