COMMUNITY WASTE MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES USING THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY PRINCIPLE

Abstract

Plastic waste is petroleum waste from both households and industries that are discarded in large quantities. This waste cannot naturally decompose and is a burden for disposal. This academic article aims to study the community's waste management approach using the circular economy principle, which found that the community has a process and method for waste management that prioritizes existing resources with the process of "think before using, use again, reuse", which is the principle of the 3Rs. This process has very little plastic waste that is reused in various ways. The transformation of plastic waste into energy by the pyrolysis process is a process that converts plastic waste into oil with moderate heat in an atmosphere without oxygen or with very little oxygen. The transformation of plastic waste into renewable energy can help reduce problems in many aspects and is also a renewable energy raw material that helps reduce the energy crisis.
