Abstract

Waste management by society not only reflects individual responsibility but also plays a crucial role in environmental sustainability and community welfare. This research aimed to understand society’s perception and behavior regarding domestic waste and its surrounding waters. Understanding societal behavior is the key to sustainable environmental management. Direct inquiry was conducted to the sample population of 25 respondents who represented various age, education, and cultural groups in the densely populated residential area surrounding the Brantas River in Dinoyo Ward. Field observations were done to take water quality parameters and monitor the residents’ behavior regarding waste management. The results indicated that 76% of respondents know the impact of river pollution, although most did not contribute actively to reducing their domestic waste volume. About 44% of respondents never saw anyone littering the river, which may be due to the regular waste pick-up system. This was supported by water quality parameters that did not demonstrate any sign of pollution, although high turbidity was indicated. Comprehension of the results of this study is hoped to inspire the ideas of solid intervention plans to increase awareness and decrease the negative impact of domestic waste on the Brantas River in Dinoyo Ward.

Abstract

Unprocessed leftover cassava wastes from the home industries in Pomahan Village in Bojonegoro, East Java, has become a serious problem as a pollutant to the environment. This study examined the quality of bio-briquettes made from cassava skin waste with its epidermis starch as an adhesive agent, or binder. The aim is to assess the quality of the bio-briquettes for alternative energy sources and their suitability from an economic point of view. The utilized research method was a descriptive quantitative approach by measuring water and ash content, calorific value test, and economic feasibility calculation. The results indicated that the highest calorific value of 5337.83 cal/g was obtained from a bio-briquette mix of 50 g cassava skin with 5% epidermis starch binder. This bio-briquette also possesses the lowest water and ash contents of 2.75 and 8%, respectively, compared to other mixtures. The economic feasibility calculation showed a BEP value of 423 kg/ month, B/C Ratio of 6.14-fold, ROI of 30%, and PBI of 0.2 years. In conclusion, cassava-based bio-briquettes are economically promising and environmentally friendly due to their biomass property and help to tackle the environmental problem due to the cassava waste.
