Mapping of Waste Bank Management Area in Manado City
Summary
This Indonesian study maps waste bank management in Manado City as a strategy to reduce urban litter, including plastic that can break down into microplastics and enter fish through aquatic food chains. The study notes that microplastics entering human food through fish are a growing concern.
The problem of waste is very worrying because it has a direct impact on humans, especially the inclusion of plastic elements in the human body through fish and food exposed to microplastic. One way to overcome the problem of waste is to reduce waste from its source by sorting methods from the source and managed further through the process of recycling or upcycling into new products. Reducing waste from its source by sorting and then saving it in a Waste Bank is one promising breakthrough and can encourage people to actively participate in environmental management. The purpose of this study was to obtain a mapping model of the waste management service area in the city of Manado as needed. The research data was obtained through research on smash applications for waste banks supporting field research through observation and interviews. Data was analyzed by mapping the position of waste banks in the city of Manado. Furthermore, comparing the three garbage banks in Manado city to find a pattern of waste bank management with various indicators. The results of the study indicate that the current mapping of the position of waste banks in Manado consists of the center, the suburbs and outside the city. Furthermore, the results of the comparison of the three garbage banks conclude that the most effective waste bank is a waste bank in a residential area. An effective waste bank is one of the strategies for implementing 3R (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) in waste management at its source at the community level. The implementation of the waste bank in principle is a social engineering to invite the public to sort out waste for environmental sustainability and public welfare.

Strategic action for waste management in Manado City to prevent marine debris input to Manado Bay: a preliminary study
Researchers conducted a preliminary assessment of waste management practices in Manado City, Indonesia, to identify strategic actions for preventing marine debris from entering Manado Bay. The study recommended both short-term mitigation and long-term management interventions to reduce the ecological, public health, and aesthetic impacts of marine debris in this coastal urban environment.
Mitigation of marine debris from land: Formulation of the best options for managing marine debris in the coastal city of Manado, Indonesia
This study analyzes marine debris sources and management options in Manado City, Indonesia, with the goal of protecting the adjacent Bunaken Marine Park. Effective coastal debris management is essential for reducing the flow of plastic waste — a precursor to microplastics — into sensitive marine protected areas.
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.
Identification of Microplastics in the Upper Cimanuk Watershed and Waste Management Analysis in Garut Regency, Indonesia
Researchers assessed microplastic contamination in the Upper Cimanuk Watershed in Garut Regency, Indonesia, examining water samples and local waste management practices. Microplastics were found throughout the watershed, with the highest concentrations linked to areas with greater human activity and inadequate waste management. The study suggests that improving waste collection and disposal in the region could help reduce microplastic inputs to this important river system.
Maarine and macroplastic litter monitoring and strategic recommendation for reducing pollution: case study from Semarang City
This systematic review documents marine and macroplastic litter in Semarang City, Indonesia, one of the world's largest contributors to ocean plastic waste. The research helps us understand how large plastic debris breaks down into the microplastics that eventually contaminate seafood and drinking water, making it relevant to understanding the sources of human microplastic exposure.
