This waste is the result of sorting by residents (assisted neighborhoods) of the Ciliwung Task Force, which is then sorted for reprocessing. Currently, the production target of raw materials for the final product of TPS3R Mekarwangi has reached 400 kg per day. If multiplied by one month, this amounts to 12,000 kg. This means that you can imagine how much low-value plastic waste has been managed and does not leak into nature.
From the amount of data collected, the Ciliwung Task Force records and reports the quantity of waste in their respective areas and is then transported by the TPS3R Mekarwangi operational team.
Then in the supply chain, Mekarwangi officers ensure good quality (dry and not mixed with other materials). The plastic materials used as raw materials for making the final product consist of single-layer (instant noodle packaging, shampoo cassettes), multi-layer (which is plastic on the outside but aluminum foil on the inside) and crackle bags.
According to the TPS3R Mekarwangi operations team, the flow or supply chain of raw materials that has been implemented is quite ideal, while the team monitors and evaluates in the field, what needs to be optimized.
From here, we can see that what needs to be improved is to promote waste segregation from the source (households) then waste management education carried out by the task force and infrastructure facilities must be very supportive at that location.
So that what we do can be in line, in harmony and hand in hand in an effort to unravel the increasingly worrying plastic waste problem.
