THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF RECYCLING PROCESS OF FIRMLY HOUSEHOLD WASTE

Sampah merupakan permasalahan yang kerap dijumpai dalam kehidupan masyarakat di perkotaan dan daerah padat penduduk seperti perkampungan dan perumahan. Pengelolaan sampah yang kurang efektif dapat berakibat pada penumpukan sampah dan jika dibiarkan tentu akan mengganggu bagi lingkungan sekitar hingga menimbulkan penyakit. Namun di masyarakat di Dusun Sukunan memiliki sistem pengolahan sampah mandiri. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan karena penumpukan sampah warga Dusun Sukunan memberdayakan limbah sampah rumah tangga diolah menjadi kerajinan yang memiliki nilai ekonomis dan berdaya guna sehingga selain dapat mengatasi permasalahan sampah juga dapat membatu pemasukan ekonomi bagi warga sekitar. Proses memberdayakan pengolahan limbah rumah tangga kepada warga di Dusun Sukunan tidaklah mudah namun pelan tapi pasti banyak warga yang justru tertarik menjadi pengrajin olahan sampah. Penelitian ini akan mengkaji bagaimana cara kelompok usaha kerajinan di dusun Sukunan menjaga keberlangsungan usahanya yang dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor seperti produk, produksi, harga, SDM, finansial dan edukasi. Hasil dalam penelitian ini adalah faktor edukasi dan faktor kepercayaan merupakan elemen yang memegang peranan penting dalam keberlangsungan pengelolaan kerajinan berbasis sampah di dusun Sukunan. Waste is a problem that is often encountered in public life in urban and densely populated areas such as settlement and housing. The lack of effectiveness of garbage management may result in the accumulation of garbage and if left unchecked it will damaging the surrounding environment and causing illness. But people in the Sukunan Village have independent waste management system. To overcome the problems due to the accumulation of garbage, people in Sukunan Village recycle their household waste into a handicraft that has economic and useful value so that in addition to addressing the waste problem it can also contribute to economic income for local residents. Recycling process of household waste in the Sukunan Village is not a simple matter however, slowly but sure many people are actually interested in being a recycled garbage craftsman. This study will examine how the handicraft business group in Sukunan Village maintain continuity of their business that are affected by several factors such as product, production, pricing, human resources, financial and education. This research used descriptive qualitative method with interviewing 7 informants as a research instrument. The result in this research are education and trust factor which became the essential element in waste management industry in Dusun Sukunan.

Attitudes And Perceptions

Sanitation is essential for people to have a healthy life. People should monitor their practices in managing wastes. The clean surrounding ensures that people are safe and free from diseases. They study investigated the sanitation practices of the residents and verified their household waste, its effect to their lives and the usual garbage that exists in the area. This descriptive study utilized the researcher-made-questionnaire during the data gathering. Results showed that out of 43 household respondents, 51.1% finished their education in high school level. Majority of them are housekeepers. The truck collected most of their garbage. They practiced recycling process such as reusing of plastic, torn papers and collecting bottles. The residents have poor attitudes and perceptions towards waste handling, but they practiced recycling and segregation of waste. Sanitation practice affects one’s health and community. Disease and pollution can be avoided. The local community should take some livelihood activities to the community related to the recycling process for the housewives to supplement income. The women should establish appropriate attitudes and perceptions towards waste disposal through formal and informal learning. The people should strictly enforce policies like “TAPAT, MO LINIS MO” (Clean the surroundings in front of yours) for their own benefit.Keywords: Environmental Science, environment sanitation practices, descriptive survey design, Palawan, Philippines

Geographical Context

Open dumping of waste generated and uncollected is the most common option in waste management schemes from rural areas. Lack of sanitation services or rudimentary waste management systems favored this practice. This paper proposes a method to estimate the amounts of household waste uncontrolled disposed at local administrative unit level (commune) for 2003 and 2010. Based on estimating the amounts of waste generated and uncollected are introduced new indicators in the quantitative analysis taking into account the household waste composition, individual composting of biodegradable waste or recyclable waste from households for a more proper assessment of waste disposed. Usually household waste is disposed in various sites according to local geographical context such as open dumps on local roadsides, forest areas or on riverbanks. The indicators were calculated for each commune from the county that did not have access to sanitation services. Processed data were mapped, thematic maps outlining regional disparities existing between communes from county. Comparative analysis of the years 2003 (pre-accession period) and 2010 (post-accession) highlights the changes and difficulties to provide waste management facilities in rural territory.

Rapid Setting

Plaster is primarily used as a building material obtained by the calcination of gypsum. Its rapid setting time (time for the mixture to solidify) and the low quality of labor generate a large amount of nonused material. Due to its solubility in water, wasted gypsum cannot be disposed of in the environment, and its recycling process is encouraged. In this work, quantitative phase analyses (QPA) using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) data and the Rietveld method were carried out to determine the amounts of each compound present in commercial, hydrated, and laboratory-recycled plasters, and the results compared with those obtained by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It was inferred that the Rietveld method associated with XRPD data is quite efficient since it identifies compounds not seen in the TGA. Furthermore, the amount of water used in the preparation of hydrated samples influences the proper hydration of the material and, consequently, the recycled composition of the samples.
