Regional Model Development of Plastic Waste Monitoring: Basic Framework from Population and Public Market in Central Java-Indonesia
Summary
This paper develops a regional monitoring framework for plastic waste management in Central Java, Indonesia, linking population data and public market activity to plastic waste generation and environmental flow. The framework is designed to support local governments in tracking and managing plastic pollution entering coastal and ocean environments.
Abstract Recently, Intention to accelerate SGDs achievement and also mitigate climate change impact concerning to regional health, increasing significantly. One of the regional health issues for those is concerning to impcat of plastic waste. Event though plastic is one of the principal materials in the regional market and industry, but then plastic waste arise to be principal problem for regional environmental health indicators since they linked living from land to coastal and to oceans. Many tons of plastic from land accounted enter to costal and or ocean then attack to all living thinks. Moreover they may be able to return to the land as microplastic consumed by fish. Today, quick respond to manage plastic waste have a high assosiation with effort to manage green food cycle as of covering basic regional food and cereal cycle. This study goal is to provide basic model for regional plastic waste degree monitoring. The model is developed by using “online” population data from regional statistical data and number of public market. GIS tools is used to degree of plastic waste in spatial map. For detail, Central Java Provice was then selected for model assessment. To monitor the plastic waste generation in spatial pattern, online data population for year 1990, 2000, 2010, 2018 and number of traditional market was utilized. The study calculated that the highest degree of plastic waste generation with population-base approach for year 2018 is located in Brebes Regency with estimated 161.53 Ton per day. Semarang city contributed 160.04 Ton per day and total plastic waste generation in Central Java is estimated 3, 090.38. According to the public market location, this study founded that Surakarta, Semarang, Pekalongan and Tegal clasify as high degree of plastic waste ggeneration.

An Overview of Plastic Waste Recycling in the Urban Areas of Java Island in Indonesia
This overview examines plastic waste recycling management in urban areas across Java Island, Indonesia, one of the highest plastic-polluting regions in the world. It identifies barriers to improved recycling rates and proposes strategies to shift toward more sustainable production and consumption patterns.
Identification of plastic waste generation and composition to reduce environmental disaster risk (case study: Public facility sources in Padang City)
A study in Padang City, Indonesia characterized plastic waste generation and composition at public facilities including parks, beaches, and roads as a first step toward reducing environmental disaster risk, finding that plastic waste from these sources poses significant risks of microplastic contamination in adjacent aquatic ecosystems.
Mapping mismanaged plastic waste in Indonesia: subdistrict-level analysis through material flow from sources to the environment
Researchers found that Indonesia produces over 9 million tons of plastic waste each year, with more than 1 million tons ending up directly in rivers, drains, and illegally dumped on land. This mismanaged plastic waste breaks down into tiny particles called microplastics that can contaminate drinking water and food sources, potentially affecting human health. The study helps identify pollution hotspots where better waste management could reduce plastic entering the environment and our bodies.
Ocean plastic crisis—Mental models of plastic pollution from remote Indonesian coastal communities
Remote coastal communities in Indonesia are overwhelmed by plastic pollution despite low plastic literacy, largely because rising living standards have increased single-use plastic consumption while geography and poor waste infrastructure leave communities with few disposal options. The study highlights the need for supply-side interventions and better waste management systems, not just consumer education.
The impact of improper solid waste management to plastic pollution in Indonesian coast and marine environment
Indonesia's plastic pollution problem in coastal and marine environments is largely driven by improper solid waste management on land, with rivers carrying significant plastic loads to the sea. The study emphasizes that improving terrestrial waste collection and disposal infrastructure is essential for reducing Indonesia's substantial contribution to ocean plastic pollution.
