ClearIndonesia's Policy in Addressing Marine Debris
This review examines the scale of marine debris — predominantly plastic — as a serious threat to ocean ecosystems, marine life, and fishing economies in Indonesia, one of the world's largest plastic-polluting nations. The paper evaluates Indonesia's existing policies (improved waste management, public education) and finds them insufficient, recommending a comprehensive, coordinated national approach. Indonesia's marine plastic challenge is a bellwether for the broader global problem of plastic waste reaching the ocean.
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.
Legal Issues on Indonesian Marine Plastic Debris Pollution
This paper reviews the legal and regulatory challenges Indonesia faces in addressing marine plastic debris pollution, arguing that existing laws are insufficient and poorly enforced. The review calls for more effective legislation and international cooperation to reduce one of the world's top contributors to ocean plastic pollution.
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.
Assessing Indonesia’s Environmental Laws Pertaining to the Abatement of Marine Plastic Pollution: A Euphemism?
This study examined Indonesia's environmental laws governing marine plastic pollution, finding significant gaps between legislative intent and enforcement capacity, and arguing that stronger regulatory frameworks, improved waste infrastructure, and community-based approaches are needed to reduce the country's large contribution to ocean plastics.
Pencemaran Plastik Di Laut
This Indonesian-language report reviewed plastic pollution in Indonesia's seas, noting the country is one of the world's top plastic polluters. It examines the environmental impacts on marine organisms and calls for improved waste management and public education to reduce ocean plastic contamination.
The Government's Responsibility in Enforcing The Law on Plastic Pollution in The Sea
This study examines Indonesia's legal framework for addressing plastic pollution in the sea and finds enforcement remains inadequate despite existing regulations. The research recommends stronger preventive measures including public awareness campaigns, specific plastic waste management rules, and administrative sanctions to better protect marine ecosystems and human health.
Plastic pollution research in Indonesia: State of science and future research directions.
This meta-analysis reviews the state of plastic pollution research in Indonesia, a country identified as one of the top contributors to global plastic waste. The findings highlight significant gaps in data on microplastic contamination in Indonesian waters and ecosystems, which matters because plastic pollution from this region affects global ocean health and the seafood supply chain.
Plastic pollution research in Indonesia: state of science and future research directions to reduce impacts
This meta-analysis maps the current state of plastic pollution research across Indonesia, one of the world's top sources of ocean plastic waste. It identifies which regions and environments have been studied and where major data gaps remain. The findings can guide targeted research and policy interventions to reduce plastic — and microplastic — contamination in one of the most biodiverse marine regions on Earth.
Dampak Pencemaran Mikroplastik di wilayah Pesisir dan Kelautan
This Indonesian overview examines the problems of microplastic contamination in coastal and marine environments, reviewing the sources, distribution, and ecological effects of plastic pollution. The paper highlights the particular vulnerability of Indonesian coastal areas given high plastic waste generation and limited waste management infrastructure.
Plastic Waste Management in Indonesia: Current Legal Approaches and Future Perspectives
A normative analysis of Indonesian plastic waste governance found that existing laws and regulations contain significant weaknesses, including inadequate enforcement mechanisms and unclear stakeholder roles, calling for strengthened legal approaches to address the country's major plastic pollution problem.
Microplastics in Indonesian land and aquatic environment: From research activities to regulation policies
This review examines over 250 microplastic research studies conducted across Indonesia's land, freshwater, and ocean environments over the past decade. The study suggests that current research is insufficient to provide a complete picture of microplastic distribution in Indonesia, and recommends improved coordination among researchers, stronger enforcement of plastic-reduction regulations, and greater investment in waste management infrastructure.
Review of Microplastic Pollution in Indonesian Waters
This review documents the extent of microplastic pollution across Indonesian waters, including rivers, coastal areas, and the seafloor, and discusses its sources and environmental impacts. Indonesia is one of the world's largest plastic waste producers, making understanding the domestic microplastic problem critical for regional marine health.
Identification of Microplastic Abundance in Indonesia's Coastal Regions: A Review
This review assessed microplastic abundance across Indonesia's coastal regions, synthesizing studies from rivers, seas, and lakes to document the extent of MP pollution in this archipelago nation with high plastic waste generation and limited waste management infrastructure.
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.
Plastic Pollution Research in Indonesia: State of Science and Future Research Directions to Reduce Impacts
This meta-analysis examines the state of plastic pollution research in Indonesia, one of the world's top plastic-polluting countries. The study found that research methods and goals vary widely, making it hard to compare results or design effective cleanup strategies. Better coordinated research is needed to understand and reduce plastic pollution that eventually breaks down into microplastics affecting both marine life and human health.
Microplastic Pollution in Indonesia: The Contribution of Human Activity to the Abundance of Microplastics
This systematic review of Indonesian microplastic research found that coastal and marine sediments have the highest microplastic abundances, driven by widespread use of cheap single-use plastics and poor waste management across urban and rural areas.
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.
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.
