Potential Utilization Analysis of River Waste in Jakarta, Indonesia
Summary
This study analyzed the composition and potential recyclability of river waste in Jakarta, Indonesia, where poor waste management leads to significant plastic debris entering waterways. Better waste sorting and utilization strategies could reduce the amount of plastic that breaks down into microplastics in urban rivers.
There are still many people in Jakarta who throw their garbage into the river, resulting Jakarta city never being absent from the problems of river water pollution and flooding. Pesanggrahan River and Grogol River are some of the big river surrounded by high popullation area. All waste originating from the Pesanggrahan River and the Grogol River is dumped into the Bantar Gebang Landfill. This study aimed to reduce waste entering landfills are by making use of waste that still has economic value.The method used in decision making from various alternatives of the river waste utilization are utility theory and compromise programming. It takes planning to find out the composition and generation of solid waste from those rivers and to determine the potential use of river waste and the action to minimize and handle the river waste. Utilization of river waste that can be applied based on the composition of most waste is open windrow composting and plastic shredding. It is important to concern about river waste since Indonesia has various polluted river, especially by solid waste. By implementing a good river waste utilization, the waste that enters the landfill will be reduced and in line with reduced pollution to the aquatic environment.

The contribution of estuaries to the abundance of microplastics in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia
Researchers found that rivers draining into Jakarta Bay are a major source of microplastics, with polyethylene fragments in the 300-500 micrometer size range dominating, and that spatial variation in abundance across nine estuaries reflects differences in local land use and waste management.
Karakteristik sampah mikroplastik di Muara Sungai DKI Jakarta
This Indonesian-language study characterized microplastics found at the mouths of rivers flowing through Jakarta. River mouths are major hotspots for plastic accumulation, as they collect debris washed from urban areas and funnel it toward coastal and marine environments.
Characterization of Microplastics in Jakarta’s Urban Downstream and Estuary Water Bodies
Researchers characterized microplastic contamination in urban water bodies of Jakarta -- specifically Sunter River, Buaran River, and Marunda Estuary -- which serve as conduits for plastic waste to the ocean. Microplastics were abundant in all sampled water bodies, with fiber and fragment morphotypes dominant, reflecting the high density of urban plastic sources in the surrounding catchments.
Assessment of Small-Scale Microplastics Abundance and Characterization in Urban River: A Case Study in Metro River, Indonesia
Researchers assessed microplastic contamination in the Metro River in Indonesia, finding that abundance and characteristics varied by land use type, with urban areas showing higher concentrations of fragments and fibers in this rapidly developing region.
Impact Pollution Microplastics in Rivers in Indonesia
This Indonesian review examines the problem of microplastic pollution in rivers across Indonesia, describing the sources, distribution, and environmental impacts of plastic debris in river ecosystems. Plastic waste from poorly managed urban and rural areas enters rivers and fragments into microplastics that accumulate throughout the water column and sediments. The findings underscore the urgent need for improved waste management infrastructure across Indonesian communities.
