Abstract

Plastics degradation has resulted in a major threat to marine organisms, including bivalves. Thirty-three peer-reviewed papers have been reviewed to understand the geographical spread of microplastics ingestion by marine bivalves, characteristics of microplastics ingested, and limitation of microplastics analysis globallly. Only studies on microplastics investigation in marine bivalves from wild and aquaculture area were selected. Marine bivalves are reported to accumulate microplastics from all marine environment compartments. High proximity area with intensive human activities is suggested to increase the uptake of microplastics by the bivalves. Microfibers and fragments are the common types of microplastics ingested by the bivalves around the world, with various sizes (0.45µm – <45mm) and number of particles per individual (20 – ~175 particles/individual). However, there is uncertainty when comparing the findings from one study to another due to the absence of international standard protocol and microplastics data base. Therefore, this limitation should be addressed prior to monitoring microplastics accumulation in marine bivalves.

Abstract

The current global environmental trend is that the world has agreed to go towards net zero emissions. Consequently, waste-producing-industries must comply with these provisions to achieve the mission of sustainable development and green production, including cement industry. This study aims to investigate the factors that affect the performance of the Electrostatic Precipitator (EP) as a dust collector in grinding cement raw materials. The method used was measuring the static-dynamic pressure at the poking hole closest to the EP inlet, measuring EP efficiency using the Matts-Ohnfeldt equation based on secondary data obtained from the Crane Information Management System (CIMS), and calculating the corona power to determine how strong the ion space is created between the discharge electrode and collecting electrode and determine the critical voltage and application voltage needed to generate the corona. The observations and calculations show that several factors can affect EP performance, such as inlet temperature gas discharge, concentration of dust from the chimney, and maximum concentration of chimney outlet. The maximum temperature gas discharge that EP can accept is 105°C. The maximum concentration of chimney outlet dust is 50 mg/Nm3 and maximum CO concentration is 2000 mg/m3.

Abstract

Numerous environmental challenges remain unresolved in Indonesia, primarily due to a lack of understanding and limited exposure to the issue. This study discusses a particular case specific about tailing waste resulting from mining activities conducted by Freeport in Papua. This issue may persist without securitization efforts from relevant stakeholders. Interestingly, the key stakeholders in this case are the local community, diverging from the stereotype dominated by NGOs and other private actors. Additionally, this study served as a response to the scarcity of discussion securitization regarding environmental concerns in Indonesia. The research employs qualitative descriptive methods supplemented by a comprehensive literature study, drawing upon publications from the Google Scholar database related to securitization in the context of environmental issues in Indonesia. The finding will be visualized by the VosViewer program. The results of this study show the need for comprehensive discussions surrounding the Freeport tailing waste case. These findings are derived from significant keywords identified in related publications, particularly those related to securitization. In conclusion, the research highlights the importance of securitization by certain stakeholders in addressing particular environmental issues, ensuring that, they receive adequate attention and resolved by responsible actors.

Abstract

Food waste is a significant sustainable challenge in Indonesia, particularly in commercial centers like Banyumas, it ranks as the second largest source of food waste. Despite the availability of information on food waste management, a substantial amount of food waste continues to be generated by food Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). This research aims to categorize food SMEs in Banyumas based their food waste management behavior. The Extended Norm Activation Model framework was employed to assess the behavior of food SMEs in managing food waste. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 115 food SMEs in Banyumas, leading to the formation of two clusters through K-Means clustering: unmanageable and manageable. The unmanageable cluster exhibited the lowest levels of knowledge, awareness, and intention regarding food waste management and still requires substantial improvement in managing food waste. In contrast, the manageable cluster comprises food SMEs that have successfully implemented food waste management practices. These businesses demonstrate a heightened awareness of the food waste issue, take individual responsibility for addressing it, actively work to reduce waste. The finding of this research can serve as a basis fpr developing tailored mitigation strategies based on the behavior of SMEs in each cluster.

Abstract

Even though flood disasters are becoming more frequent on an annual basis, this category of disaster is still one of the problems that has not shown any significant signs of progress toward a better direction. In the meantime, a number of studies have arrived at the conclusion that an appropriate policy approach can reduce the severity of disasters of this kind. We are making an effort to gain an understanding of the degree to which the policy direction of the government is moving toward flood management, particularly in urban areas. In order to accomplish this, we are examining a wide range of written materials and documents that are connected to the administration of flood control in Indonesia. Our review, which examines the implementation of the most recent flood mitigation, leads us to make recommendations regarding how flood management can take a governance approach to the process of flood mitigation. These recommendations will be based on the findings of our review. In order to lessen the likelihood of flooding, the government will need to lay a solid foundation from both strategic and tactic perspective.

Abstract

The structure of the fashion industry in various geographical regions, along with its production history and practices, plays a pivotal role in shaping the adoption and implementation of sustainable strategies. This study examines the fashion industry’s structure in Ghana as a fundamental step in considering the adoption and implementation of sustainable strategies. To facilitate the selection of respondents for this preliminary study, we employed a Google survey, utilizing a snowball technique to identify participations in the two major cities in Ghana. The survey specifically targeted fashion producers operating within the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with retail outlets. Collected data from Google Forms were collated with Microsoft Excel and subsequently analyzed. The findings unveiled that young businesses often operate as sole proprietorship, with their founders serving as lead designers, primarily selling directly to end users. While previous studies have documented similar findings, this study connects these observations to the adoption of sustainable strategies in businesses where where owners, who also serve as creative heads, make significant decisions that can influence the practice of sustainable strategies. Furthermore, the study highlights that sustainability and sustainable practices are relatively new to SMEs in Ghana. It recommends further research to gauge the awareness and willingness to adopt circular strategies, given the industry towards industrialization.

Abstract

An integrated sustainable management system is the harmonization of multiple management systems into one system for addressing economic, social, and environmental challenges in a systematic and comprehensive manner, resulting in a more sustainable future for both the organization and interested parties. This system is driven by meeting the needs and expectations of interested parties based on the availability of resources by considering the sector and size of the business. System implementation can be carried out gradually, with full integration targets beginning at the organizational strategic level. Quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety are the three management systems harmonized by this system, and their control needs to be institutionalized in the hierarchical structure of the organization. The maturity level must be used to monitor and evaluate system performance regularly. Increasing the level of system maturity will have an impact on improving the achievement of organizational sustainability goals.

Abstract

Premature end-of-life Vehicles (ELVs) are on the rise in Kenya due to an increase in road accidents, as reported by National Transport and Safety Authority. These premature ELVs are poorly managed, frequently found parked in police station yards, garages, and residential estates, posing risks to public health and environment, thus undermining progress toward sustainable development goals. There have been scattered efforts on their management through policies and legislation, such as the Environmental Management and Coordination Act of 1999; the umbrella law on environment,which remains generic and insufficient in effectively addressing premature ELVs. This article presents the findings of a study conducted to assess the existing management mechanisms of premature ELVs in Nairobi City County. The study employed semi-structured questionnaires administered to households (n = 170) and conducted key informant interviews (n = 88) within relevant agencies in the County. The results show that the most common mechanism for handling premature ELVs is their sale to garages for spare parts sourcing (31%), while the least utilized method invloves selling them for recycling (3%). Furthermore, there exists an opportunity to implement circular economy principles in the management of premature ELVs. Consequently, there is a pressing need for government to develop appropriate policies, legal frameworks, and institutional support to effectively manage premature ELVs.

Abstract

. In 2021, Indonesia produced 64 million tons of waste, with market waste dominating at 22.7%. Organic waste processing can yield biogas, compost and can undergo the bioconversion process using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae. BSF larvae lack cellulose-degrading enzymes. The addition of a fermentation process can increase growth and reduce waste. The research involved adding a fermentation process with two types of fermenters. Fermentation was carried out at different durations to determine to optimal fermentation period. The biodegradable waste utilised was vegetable and fruit waste from the market. As a control, organic waste without fermentation will also be utilized. The results indicated that fermentation had no significant effect on waste reduction. The reduction in fermented and non-fermented waste was 62.97% and 50.67%. Waste reduction is directly related to the larvae’s ability to consume waste. Fermented waste treated with Trichoderma (10 days) had exhibited peak larval growth at 18 days of age, whereas non-fermented waste reached its peak growth at 25 days. The residue from fermented waste had a lower quantity but a higher the C/N ratio of 89.37, while non-fermented waste residue had a greater quantity with a C/N ratio of 62.11.

Abstract

Leachate produced from old landfills has a low level of biodegradability making it suitable for physico-chemical treatment. A low level of biodegradability is characterized by a concentration ratio of BOD5/COD ≤ 0.1. The leachate at the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Management Unit (UPST) has a BOD5/COD concentration ratio of 0.05. The current state of processing leachate at the wastewater treatment plant (IPAS) employs biological processing technology. This research uses inlet leachate from IPAS 3 UPST Bantargebang, with a batch system reactor. The reactor is a glass beaker with a capacity of 1 L, operated using a magnetic stirrer with a stirring speed of 200 rpm. The reactor is covered with aluminum foil to prevent oxidation caused by light. The dosage used is based on H2O2/COD concentration ratios, which are 1.0625 and 2.125. Reactions time applied are 60 minutes and 180 minutes. The initial pH levels of the leachate used are 5, 6, 7, and 8. The variations that have optimum values are at pH 6, H2O2/COD 2.125, and a 60-minute reaction time, resulting in average color removal, BOD5, COD, TSS, TN, and H2O2 reacted by 65%.
