Abstract

The national target for reducing waste in the community is 30% by 2025. This research aims to describe the design of a community-based waste management system and formulate an overview of household waste management policies and strategies in the Rengas Pulau Subdistrict. Based on identifying the affecting factors in waste management, a situation analysis is carried out using a SWOT analysis to formulate 19 (nineteen) strategies to optimize community-based waste management. The design of community-based waste management in Rengas Pulau Subdistrict starts from sorting and processing at the household, collecting and processing at TPS 3R. It is estimated that from the 46.20 m3/day, the volume of waste generation that is targeted to be reduced in the community can be processed and managed by the community in households at 19.52 m3/day (70.41%), and the residue is 8.20 m3/day. Meanwhile, household waste processed and managed by KSM at TPS 3R is 13.01 m3 per day (70.40%), and residue is 5.47 m3 per day. Furthermore, the residual waste is transported to TPS and TPA. Communities play a role, from the source of destruction to processing it on a regional scale. The government plays a role by holding a comprehensive waste management outreach and education program and improving the performance of solid waste services. The private sector plays a role by providing support through physical assistance or as an off taker of waste processing products from the community.Keywords: Waste Management, Household Waste, Policy, Community, Government, Private

Abstract

Plastic waste that is not managed properly will damage the environment by polluting the ecosystem. Plastic in waters can turn into micro-sized plastic waste. Plastics whose size is less than 5 mm are called microplastics. The emergence of microplastic pollutants is caused by increasing population activity in Percut Waters. Percut waters are waters located in the coastal area of North Sumatra where there are many anthropogenic activities that cause the emergence of microplastics. Microplastics can have a negative impact on exposed marine biota. Nowadays microplastics are not only found in the environment, but can also accumulate in the bodies of organisms, for example. This research aims to determine the abundance of microplastics in fish found in Percut waters. The research was carried out in October November 2022 in Percut Waters. Fish samples were caught using nets and the samples were separated from their digestive tract and diluted with the addition of NaCl and H2O2 lauric. The average abundance of microplastics in fish samples ranged from 24294 particles. The fish species where the most microplastics were found was mullet fish with 294 particles. The most common types of microplastics found in total are fiber microplastics.Keywords:MicroplasticDigestionCoastalPercut
