ClearThe 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.
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.
Strategies to Overcome Marine Pollution Caused by Plastic Waste to Protect Marine Environment in Indonesia
This paper reviews plastic pollution in Indonesian marine environments and discusses strategies to reduce it, including improved waste management, education, and policy enforcement. Indonesia is one of the world's largest contributors to ocean plastic waste due to rapid economic growth combined with inadequate waste infrastructure. The authors call for integrated national strategies combining regulatory, technological, and community approaches.
Potential of Recycle Marine Debris in Pluit Emplacement, Jakarta to Achieve Sustainable Reduction of Marine Waste Generation
Researchers assessed the potential for recycling marine debris at the Pluit Emplacement in Jakarta, Indonesia's largest marine waste management site, to identify strategies for sustainable reduction of marine waste generation.
Plastic waste and microplastic issues in Southeast Asia
This review examines the plastic waste and microplastic crisis across Southeast Asia, a region that contributes significantly to global ocean plastic pollution. The authors found that inadequate waste collection, limited recycling infrastructure, and rapid economic growth are driving the problem. The study evaluates current waste management systems and proposes strategies for improving plastic waste reduction in these countries.
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.
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.
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.
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 Waste: Challenges and Opportunities to Mitigate Pollution and Effective Management
Researchers reviewed plastic waste generation and management strategies globally, identifying lack of technical skills, inadequate recycling infrastructure, and poor regulatory awareness as the main barriers to addressing the ~400 million tons of plastic produced annually.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Development of Microplastic Research in Indonesia
This systematic review maps the development of microplastic research across Indonesia, documenting studies conducted on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua.
