Waste Bank: Model and Education of Organic and Non Organic Waste Processing in Riau Province

Abstract

The amount of non-organic waste produced daily by households such as plastic bags, food wraps, straws, cigarette butts and styrofoam. All of these items will not be destroyed in the soil in a short period of time because it can take decades and even hundreds of years to decompose by microbes in the soil, even styrofoam can not be destroyed. For organic waste produced by households such as food waste, fruit peels and vegetable pieces During the processing of waste, both organic and non-organic is handed over in landfill (Landfill) and one day landfill will be full so that new land should be searched. If this cycle continues, there will be a mountain of garbage and there is a gas explosion from the garbage pile. Therefore, there needs to be integrated processing carried out through waste banks, organic waste processed into compost and biopori wells. Then non-organic waste is managed and processed into ecobrik, here there is an educational value given to the community to be more concerned with environmental pollution that comes from everyday garbage. The first model run by the waste bank with the education of each household to sort the garbage from the household, where the garbage is divided in two namely: first dalah waste food waste that has been cooked such as fish bones, chicken bones and rice, this will all be included in biopori wells that are useful for the decay process and also keep the water catchment, this biopori well has a depth of 1 meter with a diamater of 6 cm. The second is un cooked garbage such as fruit peels and pieces of vegetables, this will later be made into compost fertilizer. The second model run by waste banks is to provide education to separate non-organic waste such as plastic bags, food wraps, straws, cigarette butts and styrofoam, this will be processed into ecobrik which is paving blocks with burning process. These two models and education are expected to be a model of waste management as an environmentally friendly solution, whereby the waste bank that manages it can be established at the level of RT or RW with an average number of 200 family heads. The resulting compost and ecobrik are sold by garbage bank managers and become a source of income for the waste bank.

Comparison of Solid Waste Generation During and Before Pandemic Covid-19 in Indonesia Border Island (Riau Islands Province, Indonesia)

“…Waste management can be done by sorting or separating waste based on waste, namely organic and non-organic waste [Sutama, 2021]. So if the community carries out waste sorting, it can at least reduce the pile of waste in the area and make it easier for officers to process waste destruction and processing [Widayat et al, 2021].…”

Pemetaan Sosial Ekonomi Menuju Desa Iklim di Desa Pinggir Kabupaten Bengkalis Provinsi Riau

“…Provinsi Riau memang terkenal dengan sebutan penghasil minyak Kelapa Sawit karena memang luasnya perkebunan sawit yang mereka miliki tetapi mereka masih memiliki hasil pertanian yang ada dibeberapa tempat salah satunya Desa Pinggir, mereka menanam Ubi (30%) dan sayuran (40%) yang paling dominan sedangkan sisanya berupa Jagung, Cabe dan Terong sebagai hasil pertanian. Komoditas pertanian yang ada juga masih menggunakan pupuk pabrikan kimia padahal petani bisa memberdayaakan pupuk organik cair yang bisa digunakan untuk pertanian (Widayat, 2022), bahan untuk pembuataan pupuk organik cair berasal dari sampah organik dari setiap dapur seperti sisa potongan sayuran, kulit buah-buahan, sedangkan sisa makanan bisa dimasukan dalam lubang biopori yang nantinya juga bisa dijadikan pupuk organik (Widayat, 2021) Hasil pertanian ini memang tidak dijual sampai ke luar Kabupaten karena hanya untuk diperjual belikan pada wilayah setempat, kebutuhan utama bahan pokok mereka masih dibawa dari provinsi Sumatera Barat dan Sumatera Utara. Komoditas pertanian yang mereka hasilkan untuk pelengkap saja, sehingga mereka tidak 100% tergantung dari barang luar daerah.…”
