Analysis of Organic and Inorganic Waste Management Towards a Green Campus at Universitas Negeri Malang

Abstract

Waste is intentionally wasted or disposed of because its benefits have been taken from the results of human activities and natural processes that have no economic value. Poor waste management will result in waste problems for the environment and have a bad impact on health. One of the efforts to overcome this problem in the campus environment is Green Campus Policy. Green campus is one of the movements carried out by various campuses to create awareness and concern for the campus community in overcoming environmental problems. The purpose of this study is to determine the description of waste management in a green campus effort implemented at the Universitas Negeri Malang (UM). This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Determination of target uses purposive sampling technique. The target of this research is people who know waste management in UM including the UM Sub-Household Coordinator, Head of UM Yard and Garden Affairs, Head of Green Campus 2020 Program, and Chair of Green Campus 2021. The result of this study indicates that waste management carried out at UM is not following the provisions. Inappropriate waste management is caused by the absence of waste sorting and processing activities. However, there are regulations to regulate waste reduction on campus and there is a green campus program to create an environmentally friendly campus.

Community-Based Waste Management in The Township PT. Bukit Asam, Tanjung Enim, Indonesia

“…Organic waste transported comprises yard waste and food waste originating from residential areas within the Township. In addition to community culture, the presence of inorganic waste in waste piles is influenced by the initial waste-handling methods (Puspitasari et al, 2022). This process entails a series of activities from waste generation to transportation to final disposal sites (TPA), involving separating organic and inorganic waste at the source by community members and waste transport personnel.…”

“…The variation in waste weight and volume in the samples can be attributed to the waste compaction factor, where organic waste tends to have greater weight but smaller volume. In contrast, inorganic waste has a lighter weight but larger volume (Puspitasari et al, 2022).…”

“…Sampah organik yaitu sampah yang dapat membusuk dan terurai, seperti sisa makanan, daun kering, dan sayuran. Sedangkan sampah anorganik yaitu sampah yang sulit membusuk dan tidak dapat terurai seperti botol plastik, kertas bekas, karton, dan kaleng bekas (Puspitasari et al, 2022). Selain itu, komposisi sampah berdasarkan jenisnya menunjukkan bahwa sampah organik seperti sisa makanan menyumbang presentase terbesar yaitu 40,7% (MENLHK, 2022).…”
