ClearEfektivitas Hukum Terhadap Pencemaran Lingkungan Mikroplastik Oleh Produsen Air Mineral di Batam
Researchers examined the legal effectiveness of Indonesian environmental regulations in controlling microplastic pollution by mineral water producers in Batam City, focusing on the use of gallon-based packaging (GSP) as a source of plastic contamination. The study assesses factors contributing to regulatory ineffectiveness and the capacity of existing law to enforce environmental accountability among business actors.
The Impacts of Environmental Knowledge on Aqua Product Purchase: The Role of Environmental Concerns
Researchers examined how environmental knowledge and environmental concerns influence bottled water purchasing behavior among residents of Bandung, Indonesia, focusing on the Aqua brand as a proxy for plastic-packaged aqua products. Results indicate that stronger environmental awareness correlates with altered purchase decisions, highlighting the role of consumer education in reducing plastic consumption.
Improving residential plastic waste management strategies for increasing value added to environmental sustainability
Researchers surveyed community awareness and behavior regarding plastic waste management in an Indonesian village, identifying gaps between knowledge and practice. Improving community engagement with proper plastic waste disposal is essential for reducing the plastic entering waterways and eventually becoming microplastics.
Global Bottled Water Industry: A Review of Impacts and Trends
This review assessed the global bottled water industry's environmental and social impacts, examining trends in consumption, plastic waste generation, and the implications for water resource management and sustainability.
Peran Masyarakat Akar Rumput dalam Menangani Permasalahan Sampah Galon Sekali Pakai
This Indonesian-language study examines the role of grassroots community organizations in managing the growing plastic waste problem posed by single-use disposable water gallons, analyzing community networks and the challenges they face in influencing producer behavior and policy.
Plastic Pollution and Framework Towards Sustainable Plastic Waste Management in Nigeria: Case Study
Nigeria faces a growing plastic pollution crisis driven by the rapid expansion of companies producing plastic bottles and sachet water packaging. This paper examines the scale of the problem and proposes a framework for more sustainable plastic waste management, drawing on case studies of existing challenges and potential interventions. While focused on policy and waste management rather than microplastics specifically, reducing plastic waste at source directly limits the amount that fragments into environmental microplastics.
Existence of Microplastics in Indonesia’s Surface Water: A Review
This review summarizes evidence of microplastic contamination in surface waters across Indonesia, finding widespread pollution in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. The study underscores the urgency of improved plastic waste management in a country with one of the world's largest contributions to ocean plastic pollution.
Study of Household Scale Waste Management in Batu City, Indonesia(Implementation of Batu Mayor's Regulation on Household Waste Management Policy)
This study evaluated household waste management policy implementation in Batu City, Indonesia, finding gaps between policy goals and actual household practices. Effective household-level waste management is essential for reducing environmental pollution, including plastic waste that contributes to microplastic contamination.
Reduction of microplastics through waste management: Evaluation of water quality and health risks in the communication policy of the ministry of environment and forestry
This qualitative policy study examined Indonesia's Ministry of Environment and Forestry approach to microplastic reduction through waste management, documenting water quality and health risk communication strategies and identifying gaps in policy implementation and public engagement needed to effectively reduce microplastic contamination.
Analysis of packaged drinking water use in Indonesia in the last decades: trends, socio-economic determinants, and safety aspect
Analysis of Indonesian national survey data showed that packaged drinking water (PDW) consumption has grown at 1.24% per year since 2000, with socioeconomic status being the strongest predictor of consumption. Systematic literature review identified microplastic contamination and chemical leaching from plastic containers as key safety concerns for the 50% of Indonesians projected to use PDW by 2026.
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.
An Empirical Investigation on Plastic Waste Issues and Plastic Disposal Strategies to Protect the Environment: A UAE Perspective
An empirical investigation into plastic waste management in a developing country context found that rising volumes of plastic water bottles and single-use items are overwhelming municipal waste systems. The study documents disposal strategies used in practice and identifies infrastructure and policy gaps limiting effective plastic waste management.
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.
Factors influencing microplastic contamination in bottled drinking water in Indonesia: a systematic review
This systematic review found that bottled drinking water in Indonesia contains microplastics, with contamination levels influenced by packaging type, bottle material, and storage conditions. The findings raise health concerns because microplastics in drinking water can carry harmful chemicals and may affect the digestive system when consumed regularly.
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.
Regional Model Development of Plastic Waste Monitoring: Basic Framework from Population and Public Market in Central Java-Indonesia
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.

Filling Discrepancies between Consumer Perception and Actual Piped Water Quality to Promote the Potable Use of the Municipal Water Supply in Indonesia
This paper is not about environmental microplastics in an ecological or health context; it studies consumer trust and drinking water preferences in Indonesian cities to encourage tap water use over bottled water, with the plastic waste angle being secondary and policy-focused rather than scientific.
