This research aims to find out the evaluation of waste management policiy in Palu City and how to counteract them to be as expected in Regional Regulations. Type of research was qualitative by using descriptive methods. Data collection techniques covered in-depth interviews and observations. The results of research related to the evaluation of waste management policy in Palu city have been carried out but it’s not maximum because there were problems in evaluation criteria such as effectiveness, efficiency, and adequacy. Effectiveness has not been achieved because of the lack of control from the concerned parties and public awareness in waste management. Efficiency has not been achieved because of the behaviour and public awareness of the environment is low. In addition, the specified waste disposal operational time has not been fully adhered to the community, while adequacy criteria have not been able to solve environmental hygiene and health problems due to the presence of TPS, only causing a bad smell in the surrounding environment so that it can indirectly affect the level of cleanliness and public health.

The environment is a place where living things carry out their daily activities. Of course, in carrying out these activities, living things need a healthy environment and a comfortable atmosphere. Environmental problems are generally caused by natural events, rapid population growth, overuse of natural resources, industrialization and transportation. One of them is the waste problem. Waste produced by humans has an influence on environmental changes. The implementation of waste management is intended so that waste can be managed properly to create a clean and healthy living environment. This study aims to formulate the best alternative policy as an effort to address the problems of implementing waste management in Lamongan Regency. The research method used is descriptive qualitative method. In formulating policy alternatives using Bridgman and Davies' policy analysis process theory which consists of five stages, namely 1) Formulation of Policy Problems, 2) Formulating Goals and Targets, 3) Identifying Policy Parameters, 4) Finding Policy Alternatives and 5) Deciding Policy Alternatives Selected. The results showed that the implementation of waste management in Lamongan Regency that occurred was a problem of the amount of waste that was increasing from time to time and the amount of waste that was managed could not reach 50% of the total waste. Factors causing the problem are caused by: Inadequate fleet of facilities and infrastructure; Limited budget funds; Inadequate cleaning staff; and the level of public awareness of waste care is still low.

AbstractPlastic waste is one of the world’s most pressing human health and environmental concerns. Plastic constitutes the third highest waste source globally, with the total volume of plastic waste growing in-line with increases in the global population and per capita consumption. Malaysia is tracking global trends in both the overall generation of plastic waste and the consumption of single-use plastics and since 2017 has been the world’s largest importer of plastic waste. These elements create a number of major challenges for the country’s waste management system. This review outlines the current state of plastic waste production and management in Malaysia, including options for landfill, recycling and incineration. It presents information on the scale and both the human and ecological risks of plastic waste in the country (i.e. microplastics, landfill, incineration), outlines key plastic waste management policy initiatives (including plastics alternatives such as biodegradable plastics) and highlights key constraints on the success of these. Significant internal constraints stem from the inconsistent application of policy initiatives by state governments, in addition to the lack of public awareness and interest in household recycling. The paper closes by discussing options for and constraints on the switch to biodegradable alternatives and proposes a model of plastic management based on a circular economy approach and solid waste management hierarchy. Success in reducing the problems posed by plastic in Malaysia will require sustained effort at many levels, but positive experiences in other countries give some cause for optimism.

Waste Management Policy

Municipal solid waste management is an environmental issue that has received considerable attention from researchers and environmental managers for decades. Supporting the management programs entail policies and regulations related to municipal solid waste. In developed countries, the implementation of environmental policies plays an important role and has a substantial impact on the effectiveness of solid waste management. However, in many developing countries such as Vietnam, the situation and effectiveness of the policy implementation have not been studied extensively. This investigation is conducted to ascertain the situation, limitations, and challenges in implementing solid waste management policy in Vietnam. Then, solutions for the problems and improvements for implementation efficiency are presented. This work used online questionnaires to survey environmental managers in different localities and applied qualitative research method to analyze data. The results show that not all national policies on solid waste management are implemented in all localities. Waste separation is also the foremost concern in municipal waste management in most localities of Vietnam. Most of the localities claimed that the unrealistic nature and difficult implementation of the policies and the lack of needed resources are the main limitations and challenges in Vietnam. Survey results also revealed that different localities in Vietnam have different solutions to increase policy implementation efficiency. Besides, the study also found similarities in the implementation of policies in solid waste management between Vietnam and some other countries and also gathered some valuable lessons for the improvement strategy. Finally, the implementation of an effective domestic solid waste management policy is an important platform for improving environmental quality and ensuring the sustainable development of the nation and mankind.

An effective waste management system is, and has always been, essential infrastructure, particularly given the potential for waste to adversely impact the surrounding environment. In recent decades, however, there has been growing awareness of the scale, breadth and immediacy of those adverse impacts, and of the unsustainability of the enormous (and increasing) amount of waste society generates. Governments around the world have mobilised and there has been a widespread shift towards policies promoting circular economies, waste minimisation and maximised resource efficiency. Singapore is a case in point; despite having a traditionally high waste output and a waste management system dependent on waste incineration as the primary means of disposal, Singapore has committed to a zero waste future. This article presents a review of domestic waste management policy and law in Singapore. Several gaps in the legal framework are identified and considered against the broader context, leading to the conclusion that there is a material environmental vulnerability in the legal framework that should be redressed in order to entrench environmental protections and to align the law with Singapore's policy ambitions. Notwithstanding this deficiency, it is hard not to be optimistic about the future of domestic waste management in Singapore, as the government has made an ambitious policy commitment and appears to be pursuing it with vigour.

Waste Flow

Bali Province is an island of high tourist activity surrounded by the sea. Without a proper mainland waste management, waste problem will impact the aquatic environment. River and beach are waterways that become an important role in the waste flow that will end to the sea. Identification of waste in rivers and beaches is needed to determine the stream waste management policy. Measurements were made by adopting the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) method on 4 rivers and 4 beaches. Measurement of waste generation and composition represents the watershed and population density classification groups. The peak hour for the waste streams at 11.00-14.00 WITA (GMT+8). The dominant waste is organic waste (59.10% WW) and hazardous waste (17.12%WW). From the waste measurement on the beach, the waste density is around 0.087 tonnes/m3 and the composition of waste is dominated by plastic waste, paper waste, and textile waste. The average waste density in beach is around 0.007 kg/m2 or 0.53 items/m2. Yeh Gangga Beach is the dirtiest with 0.64 items waste/m2 and Lepang Beach is the cleanest beach with 0.27 items/m2.
