Abstract

The Kendeng mountains, stretching from several regions in Central Java to East Java, have the potential for abundant limestone and groundwater resources. This poses a problem when the government and investors seek to exploit these resources for commercial purposes, while local communities and influential academics choose it as a conservation site. Based on the Governor of Central Java's Decree Number 660.1/17 of 2012 regarding the Environmental Permit for Mining Activities by PT. Semen Gresik (Persero) Tbk, which has been renamed PT. Semen Indonesia since 2012, they have been conducting mining activities in the Kendeng Mountains region. Subsequently, both the local community and environmental organizations have filed lawsuits concerning the feared deterioration of groundwater quality. This research aims to describe the conflicts arising from the rejection of the cement factory construction in Kendeng by conducting a descriptive analysis with data collection techniques from literature studies and content analysis of mass media. Karl Marx's conflict theory is employed to analyze the focus of this research. The conclusion drawn is that despite various legal efforts to address the rejection of the factory construction, in practice, decisions on construction and environmental permits for mining activities are still within the jurisdiction of local authorities.

Abstract

The waste issue in Indonesia remains an unresolved environmental concern, exacerbated by the problem of waste importation from developed countries to Indonesia, a practice that has been ongoing since 1989 until now. Since 2018, China, as the world's largest importer of waste, ceased its waste import activities with the implementation of the National Sword Policy (reducing drastically from 60% to 10%). This had repercussions on Indonesia, a developing country and a recipient of waste imports in Southeast Asia. The increase in the volume of waste imports from developed countries to Indonesia was approximately 320,000 tons in 2018. This article aims to discuss the issues of waste importation in Indonesia from political-ecological, social, and economic perspectives, as well as its environmental impact. The article also reviews the compliance with existing laws regarding the waste import mechanism in Indonesia. The literature review method is employed to compile this article, utilizing various research materials related to waste imports and policies in Indonesia. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the waste import issue in Indonesia is a manifestation of political-ecological concerns, where environmental problems are greatly influenced by political (ego-sectoral) and economic aspects. The environmental interests mandated by the Basel Convention, which are subsequently translated into policies and regulations in Indonesia, have not been able to achieve their main objectives, namely, the protection of environmental and human health from the impacts of imported waste. The waste import policy in Indonesia needs to be reevaluated concerning the clarity of requirements and effective law enforcement when violations occur.

Abstract

The increasing social and environmental issues and the depletion of natural resources have led many countries to shift from using non-renewable energy sources (fossil fuels) to renewable energy sources (solar energy, geothermal, etc.). This energy transition is aimed at sustainable practices. However, the process poses new social, economic, and environmental challenges that policymakers must address effectively. Economic support from the government is a key factor in the success of implementing this transition. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that the shift to renewable energy has generated social conflicts among stakeholders, such as debates over the construction of power plants that are perceived to have limited benefits for the communities around the plant area. The need for renewable energy arises as a solution to the insufficient electricity supply in developing countries, especially in rural areas. Various stakeholders offer solutions to overcome social challenges in the community during this transition. The objective of this literature review is to identify and analyze social and environmental issues arising from the transition from non-renewable to renewable energy sources. The results obtained will be presented descriptively, supplemented with matrices or tables. The articles used in this study draw examples from the implementation of renewable energy transitions in various countries such as Taiwan, Canada, Brazil, Poland, South Korea, Indonesia, and others. The challenges faced by each country in implementing renewable energy transitions exhibit similarities, and the solutions used to mitigate these challenges also share commonalities.

Abstract

Currently, a lot of Glass Waste is scratted everywhere. This happens with the increasing use of glass objects for building needs or household appliances. Glass Waste is waste that is considered dangerous if it is disposed of in any place, because it is feared that it will be stepped on or injure other parts of the human body. As we know, Glass Waste is also very difficult to decompose in the soil, and it takes hundreds of years to decompose. Because Glass is not biodegradable substance, landfill are not an environmentally responsible way to dispose of it. As a result, efficient waste glass management is quite important. Scattered Glass Waste will only add to the problem for the environment, and even worse, it will affect climate change. Climate change will result in many negative things for humans and the environment.

Abstract

Background: Water plays a central role in sustaining human life and ecosystems on Earth. It is used in various aspects of daily life, including consumption, agriculture, and industry. However, current environmental issues indicate that we are experiencing severe disruptions in water ecosystems, especially concerning water pollution. To address this problem, the proposed solution is to implement the principles of electrocoagulation, adsorption, and filtration to recycle wastewater from the tofu industry and mitigate serious water pollution issues. Methods: This study is an experiment testing electrocoagulation, adsorption, and filtration devices, as well as the effectiveness of green mussel shell chitosan as an adsorbent. The study will be conducted in Boyolali for two months, using chili plants and Nile tilapia as samples. The samples will be given three treatments: wastewater, recycled water, and well water (control). The research procedure includes device fabrication, testing, and evaluation. Data will be analyzed through pH, temperature, DO, TAN, metal content in water, plant growth, and Nile tilapia survival rate tests. Findings: Electrocoagulation as the initial stage of wastewater treatment aims to precipitate solid particles through redox reactions, while the adsorption stage using chitosan from green mussels is designed to effectively filter toxic metal ions. Subsequently, advanced filtration is performed to enhance filtering efficiency. In addition to environmental benefits, this innovation also offers economic potential through the use of green mussels to produce chitosan. Chitosan, with its cationic properties, non-toxic biological profile, and chemical reactivity, makes it an ideal adsorption agent. The management of this solution involves four main stages: 1) Planning stage (Plan); 2) Implementation stage; 3) Control stage (Check); 4) Action stage; Implementation. Conclusion: The recycled wastewater from tofu production is expected to support sustainable agriculture, serving as a substitute for main water sources, especially during the dry season. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research explores a sustainable solution for water pollution using electrocoagulation, adsorption, and filtration with green mussel shell chitosan, leveraging the economic potential of green mussels, and applying recycled water to agriculture and aquaculture.
