| description | The research aims to identify the characteristics of waste generation and its
composition, map the distribution of macroplastic waste generation and
efforts to reduce waste generation through the use of plastic. The method
used is a survey with a quantitative descriptive approach. The research
subject was the generation of macroplastic plastic waste located on river
borders, and the research sample was determined using purposive sampling.
Data collection techniques use documentation and survey instruments as
check-lists to record waste generation found on river borders. Data analysis
was carried out descriptively using frequency tables and Near Neighborhood
Analysis. The research results show that the amount of waste generation and
composition continues to increase yearly. A lot of rubbish was not recorded
and was found scattered around their house. The composition of
macroplastics (MP) found consisted of drinking bottles, plastic bags, food
wrappers, industrial packaging (such as detergent, soap, fragrance, snacks,
shampoo), straws, plastic carpets, cement-packed sandals, styrofoam lunch
boxes and other types of other types that are difficult to identify. The
distribution of macroplastic waste generation shows an evenly distributed
pattern in each subdistrict in Palembang City. Efforts are being made to
reduce the generation of macroplastic waste, making temporary dump sites
scattered in public places, using plastic floating in small rivers to
collect macroplastic waste, distinguishing between organic and non-organic
waste, and carrying out river restoration. Musi River restoration is
carried out every year and involves all government agencies, Pertamina,
youth, and volunteers from various communities. |
