Abstract

Cosmetic packaging painting using an alkyd resin compound is to make a smooth, glossy surface and attract the attention of consumers. The generated waste is handed over to a third party and has not been utilized as a product, so it requires a high enough cost. This research aims to develop a waste management strategy from its source to its utilization into a product. The research method uses a block diagram of the production process to identify waste generation and opportunities for prevention and reduction. Waste arising from alternative uses is created into a product leading to zero waste. This approach provides economic and environmental benefits for the cosmetics packaging industry.

Abstract

Waste management is carried out to utilize the value that is still contained in the waste itself, namely through the process of composting, recycle / recycling, combustion (incineration), and others. Managing waste comes in the five most challenging aspects of managing a city, but strangely this sector receives less attention than other urban issues. The quality of waste services is one indicator of good city governance. Therefore, waste management is still a big challenge for the cities in Indonesia. These challenges include public awareness that is still relatively low, especially those selling in the market, the lack of waste collection facilities, and the limited number of sanitation extension workers so that the intensity of counseling is still low. Every region in Indonesia has its own regional regulations regarding waste management. Policies related to waste management in Kebumen Regency are regulated in the Regional Regulation of Kebumen Regency No. 34 of 2011. The regulation contains a reduction in the volume of waste, statements related to fees, compensation, partnerships, dispute resolution, investigations, and criminal provisions. The Kebumen Regency Public Works Office can manage 840 m³s of garbage every day, but only 320 m³s of garbage can be transported by sanitation workers to Semali TPA and Kaligending TPA. Specifically in the case of specific waste treatment, PKU Muhammadiyah Sruweng Hospital has used 20 closed tube containers with yellow plastic coated 60 liter and replaced every day for medical waste produced. The success of waste management policies in an area is seen from the factors of human resources, communication, facilities and infrastructure, and law.

Abstract

Abstract - Increased production capacity of the tofu factory has an impact on increasing waste. Tofu liquid waste is one of the untapped wastes and even just thrown away. Besides, the tofu industry needs water for its processing, so more wastewater produces more than tofu solid waste. Wastewater from the making tofu process produces liquid waste which is a source of pollution for humans and the environment that will disrupt the ecosystem and environmental health.The right process for handling tofu wastewater is by an anaerobic process that converts the liquid waste fermented by bacteria into methane gas. This methane gas can be used as a new energy resource and this energy can be used for cooking or frying tofu.The results of the research are from 500 liters of tofu liquid waste treated, 149.6 liters of biogas were obtained in 21 days. It increased the quality of biogas as seen from the increase in CH4 levels by 70%, temperature in the digester by 32oC, volume in 149.6 liters, and decreasing H2S levels by 9 ppm, CO by 13 ppm, O2 by 15.1%. Based on the test results, the maximum fermentation time is 21 days.

Abstract

A facile and eco-friendly process for the synthesis of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) was carried out via hydrothermal and microwave treatment using Rambutan and Pandan leaves as carbon sources. The effects of synthesis methods on the optical and physical properties of CQDs, and the sensing activity of CQDs through Cu2+ detection are presented in this study. From the analysis, the band-gap energies of CQDs are found to be ranging from 2.52 to 3.51 eV. The CQDs solutions exhibit significant fluorescence property, in which bright cyan fluorescence can be detected under Ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation at wavelength of around 405 nm. The CQDs synthesized from Pandan and Rambutan leaves using hydrothermal method show quantum yield (QY) values at around 2.46% and 2.70%, respectively.  The FT-IR analysis recorded existing functional groups on the surface of CQDs to be of hydroxyl and carbonyl groups, which can serve as adsorption sites for the detection of Cu2+. Furthermore, this study indicates that CQDs emission from Pandan and Rambutan leaves using hydrothermal method shows the best turn-off behavior when detecting the presence of Cu2+ with minimum limit of detection (LoD) as low as 123 µM.

Abstract

Energy problems in Indonesia are issues that are not easy to solve. If the energy needs dominated by BBM continue to increase without any changes in the pattern of energy use, then Indonesia's sustainability and energy security will be disrupted. Therefore, Indonesia really needs alternative energy. Biogas is an alternative energy produced from the anaerobic degradation of organic compounds and can be a substitute for natural gas and fossil fuels. Cow's blood which is a waste from slaughterhouses can be used as a substrate for anaerobic biogas production by rumen and molasses. The objectives of this study are (i) To examine the comparison of the concentration of blood and molasses added to the volume of biogas produced, (ii) To examine the effect of pasteurization on blood on the volume of biogas produced, (iii) To examine the effect of initial system pH regulation on the volume of biogas produced, (iv) Assessing the pH setting and without adjusting the pH after measuring the volume of biogas produced. This research was conducted by making variations in the composition of feeds, pH stabilization, and blood pasteurization. The process of biogas formation is carried out for 40 days at room temperature with the response of quantitative results in the form of biogas volume every 2 days. Biogas production in cow's blood gets the best results at C/N 30, using pH 8. Pretreatment of blood pasteurization and pH stabilization also shows the best biogas results.

Abstract

The study aimed at optimizing different fermentation conditions for bioethanol production using rotten tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum). Rotten tomatoes were collected from sellers at Nairobi market, Kenya for six months and analysed after each time of collection in Kenyatta University Laboratory. They were physically pre-treated and enzymatic hydrolysis was performed using commercial cellulase from Aspergillus niger. Fermentation was carried out using pure culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast). Fermentation variables were optimised at different incubation times of (24, 48, 72, 96, 120 and 144 hours) and temperatures (20oC, 25oC and 30oC). Concentration (%/v/v) of bioethanol at the end of each fermentation time was determined by the use of colorimetric method and residual sugar was determined using DNS method by Miller. Maximum bioethanol percentages of (0.17%) and (0.16%) were achieved at 24 hours and 30oC respectively. Thus, the optimum conditions for maximum bioethanol production in the study were fermentation time of 24 hours and temperature 30oC. The study results have proved the effectiveness of producing bioethanol from rotten tomatoes using baker’s yeast for fermentation.

Abstract

Zero-waste is a recent phenomenon which is one of the most cost-effective local solution to handle some of the environmental, social and economic challenge in urban area. Urbanization and rising populations will affect the increase in consumption, which in turn will also increase waste production in urban areas. In 2020, it was noted that 24 percent of waste in Indonesia had not been processed properly. Thus, the waste management approach needs to prioritize not only through a qualified technology system but also needs to be supported by the transformation of people's behavior, one of which is through zero-waste. Bulk store is an urban initiative that applies the concept of zero-waste. This shop combines social and entrepreneurial concepts as well as the environment in carrying out its business processes. Through the concept of zero-waste, people must bring their own containers to shop here. This study aims to examine the opportunities and challenges of bulk store as an initiative to achieve zero-waste communities in urban areas. The method used in this research is qualitative approach through interviews and observations with shop owners, consumers and networks. The results obtained from this study are that education is the main factor determining the success of the bulk store. Apart from that, bulk stores also have another role, namely as a market-hub for local producers around urban areas. This makes bulk stores have a strategic role in supporting the zero-waste community
