Researchers conducted a systematic literature review of plastic recycling as a waste management strategy in Indonesia, finding that low public awareness, insufficient infrastructure, and weak regulatory enforcement continue to limit adoption of 3R approaches needed to curb environmental contamination and associated public health risks.
Background: The waste problem is worsening with population growth, leading to a surge in consumer goods and waste accumulation. The growth in waste volume is also influenced by the ever-expanding food industry, which regularly produces waste. Plastic waste is one of the most common types of waste found around us and can contribute to environmental pollution. Objective: This study aims to analyze the role of plastic recycling as a waste management technology in reducing the volume of plastic waste and assessing its impact on public health. Methods: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted by collecting and analyzing articles from Google Scholar, following the PRISMA ( Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses ) guidelines. Results: The results of the study indicate that plastic waste management in Indonesia still faces a number of obstacles, including low levels of public awareness, limited infrastructure, and lack of regulatory support . Conclusion: The problem of waste, especially plastic, is a major obstacle to maintaining environmental sustainability and public health. Various types and sources of waste require proper management; if waste is not managed properly, it will become a nuisance. so It will cause pollution, damage the environment , and trigger various types of diseases . These challenges are increasing with population growth, urbanization, and a lack of public awareness about the importance of waste management . Therefore, plastic recycling is a crucial strategy in building an effective, integrated, and sustainable waste management system.
