Construction of a plastic waste management policy model in the coastal city of Padang
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers evaluated plastic waste management policies in the coastal city of Padang, Indonesia, using descriptive interviews with stakeholders across relevant government agencies, finding that existing policies focus exclusively on land-based household waste and lack specific provisions for coastal plastic management. They found that the only applicable national regulation (Presidential Regulation No. 83 of 2018 on Marine Waste Management) has not been effectively implemented in coastal cities like Padang.
Policies related to plastic waste management in the coastal areas of Padang City are still very minimal. It is proven that there is no policy that explains explicitly the management and solutions to plastic waste in the coastal area of Padang City. If the coastal area of Padang City does not get special attention regarding the management of plastic waste, of course, this will have an impact on the environmental management of the City of Padang.

However, in reality, the follow-up to this regulation has not been optimally implemented by several regions that have a relatively large coastal area, one of which is the city of Padang.
