Deposit-refund systemcan influence the behavior of companies and consumers. Many governments have enacted laws to promote recycling as part of a larger effort to reduce waste management and preserve the environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of the deposit refundable system in Indonesia. The research method used was descriptive qualitative. The results of the study indicate that in Indonesia, laws and regulations governing waste management, from the national to the regional level, already exist in Indonesia. The main legal basis for waste management in Indonesia is Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management (UU 18/2008, or the Waste Management Law). In principle, Indonesia applies an economic instrument in the application of the deposit refundable system, which is a manifestation of the polluter pays principle, which is an economic policy to internalize the costs of pollution or environmental damage.
