Marine Waste Management Policy As An Effort To Prevent Environmental Pollution And Sustainability Of Marine Ecosystems: Indonesia Perspective
This paper reviews Indonesia's marine waste management policies and concludes that plastic waste is the dominant type of marine litter in Indonesian waters, but existing regulations have not been fully enforced. The authors call for stronger upstream and downstream controls on plastic production and disposal to protect marine ecosystems, which are major sources of seafood for human consumption.
Disaster from water pollution in Indonesia: Unsustainable human interaction with the environment and its social impacts
Researchers reviewed water pollution sources and impacts in Indonesia, particularly the Muara Teluk Jakarta area, using secondary data from environmental agency reports and published literature. Organic, inorganic, and microplastic pollution from rapid population growth and inadequate waste management were identified as primary threats to water quality and public health.
Assessment of stream quality and health risks in Indonesian river systems: A social analysis and water quality index approach
Researchers assessed water quality in three Indonesian rivers used by local communities, finding microplastics — primarily polyethylene and polypropylene — alongside elevated levels of iron, lead, and manganese, with residents reporting rising rates of skin disease and diarrhea linked to polluted water use.
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.
