“…Waste management is a major concern for countries all over the world (Babaremu et al, 2022;Igalavithana et al, 2022). Poor environmental management coupled with street vendors' awareness of low cleanliness will certainly have an effect on progress that must be jointly developed by a nation (Jumadi et al, 2019).…”

Environmental management has become a major issue for Partner Groups, especially those in the Losari Beach area. Awareness regarding the importance of environmental cleanliness has been established with the existence of regulations that regulate environmental management, especially waste management. However, the socialization related to government programs has not touched business actors in Losari Beach. Therefore, this community service aims to provide socialization of PP No. 4 of 2011 regarding the waste management program as an effort to increase awareness of environmental cleanliness. A clean environment can attract domestic and foreign tourists which will directly have an impact on increasing the income of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The stages of implementing the activities are the preparation stage and the implementation stage using the socialization method. The result of the service is that the community understands the purpose of the PP Regional Regulation No. 4 of 2011 for MSMEs, one of which is protecting the environment as a tourist attraction. The high number of tourists visiting has an impact on purchasing power, thus Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) continue to exist to maintain their business.

“…There is still significant room for improvement in terms of the diversion of plastic waste from landfills and incineration plants and managing them in an efficient and environmentally sound manner [6]. The potential of utilizing plastic waste and feeding it into a forward supply chain, within the model of circular economy, is significant.…”

“…The gas can be used to partially cover the energy demands of the process, while the solid product (char) can either be sold or used to produce activated carbon and other useful products. The conversion of plastic waste into valuable products and energy carriers through the pyrolysis process contributes to the reduction in the negative environmental impacts of the waste and to the reduction in fossil fuel use [6][7][8].…”

Plastic waste has a high energy content and can be utilized as an energy source. This study aims to assess the economic feasibility of polypropylene plastic waste (PP) pyrolysis. A literature review was carried out to determine the optimal pyrolysis conditions for oil production. The preferred pyrolysis temperature ranges from 450 °C to 550 °C, where the oil yields vary from 82 wt.% to 92.3 wt.%. Two scenarios were studied. In the first scenario, pyrolysis gas is used for the pyrolysis heating needs, whereas in the second scenario, natural gas is used. An overview of the economic performance of a pyrolysis plant with a capacity of 200,000 t/year is presented. Based on the results, the plant is economically viable, as it presents high profits and a short payback time for both scenarios considered. Although the annual revenues are smaller in scenario 1, the significant reduction in operating costs makes this scenario preferable. The annual profits amount to 37.3 M€, while the return on investment is 81% and the payback time is 1.16 years. In scenario 2, although the plant is still feasible and shows high profitability, the annual profits are lower by about 1.5 M€, while the payback time is 1.2 years.

“…Plastic waste is an environmental problem worldwide, especially in coastal areas, and is a significant global ecological threat today; and affects the survival of marine biota (Lozoya et al 2016;Marzuki et al 2021). The discovery of plastic as a convenient, easy, and practical material in people's lives has caused plastic waste to threaten ecosystems and humans (Pettipas et al 2016;Babaremubc et al 2022). Cauwenberghe et al (2013) estimate that 10% of all newly produced plastic will be discharged through rivers and end up in the ocean.…”

Abstract. Massiseng ANA, Tuwo A, Fachry ME, Bahar A. 2022. Characteristics of plastic waste and perceptions of coastal communities in the MLC Baluno mangrove ecotourism area, West Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 6262-6274. Plastic pollution is a global problem that threatens coastal and marine ecosystems and human livelihoods and requires effective solutions that can be adapted to local conditions. Management of coastal areas is one sector focusing on world development in general and Indonesia in particular. This research was conducted from July to October 2021 in the mangrove ecotourism area of ??MLC Baluno, Sendana Sub-district, Majene District, West Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The type of data used is the primary data from measurements and observations at ecotourism sites. The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of plastic waste and analyze its impact on the socio-economic community in the MLC Baluno mangrove ecotourism area. The results showed (1) The percentage of plastic waste types from all observation stations in the MLC Baluno mangrove ecotourism area consisted of 22% HDPE, 20% LDPE, 17% PVC, 9% PETE, 12% PE, 10% PP, 6 % PE, and 4% PU, (2) The volume percentage of plastic waste from observation stations in the mangrove ecotourism area of ??MLC Baluno by type consists of 32% PVC plastic volume, 17% HDPE, 14% PE, 10% LDPE, 10% PETE, PP 11%, 4% PS and 2% PU, (3) The influence of plastic waste factors (types and volume) has a positive effect on the socio-economic community (livelihood and income). The variable factors of plastic waste influencing socio-economic based on the perceptions of coastal communities in the MLC Baluno mangrove ecotourism area are TW2, VW3, VW4, LV1, LV2, IC1, IC3, and IC5.
