“…The community perception sees how much management can provide benefits to human life. If management efforts result in better environmental conditions, the incentive to participate in plastic management will increase [7]. According to the theory of planned behavior, attitudes are represented in memory, so they strongly influence behavior.…”

“…Many studies on the importance of knowledge have been carried out [1,10,11,21]. In some studies, increased knowledge does not affect pro-environment behavior due to the lack of inculcation of environmental awareness [7,13]. Knowledge transfer is good enough, but the education sector may only instill theoretical formalities without supporting awareness and practice.…”

“…The behavior of littering and the culture of burning garbage have been embedded in the community. Disposal of waste in its place also faces the challenge of mixing all organic and inorganic waste; there is no separation between the two [7]. The lack of waste facilities is one of the causes, especially since the existing waste bins do not allow for sorting.…”

The problem of plastic packaging is a threat to human life. This problem is illustrated by high plastic consumption and poor plastic waste management. The purpose of this paper is to discuss community environmental awareness regarding the use of plastic packaging. This paper uses a qualitative approach with an analysis of the literature study. From the results of the study, it was found that community environmental awareness is still low. It is necessary to increase awareness to encourage environmentally friendly plastic usage behavior. Behavior toward the use of plastic starts from minimizing its consumption and the willingness to sort and recycle. Many factors influence the willingness to participate in plastic management. By manipulating these factors, a sustainable plastics management strategy can be achieved. Raising awareness through increasing knowledge, increasing guilt, optimizing facilities, and supporting regulations. Strategy cannot work without the cooperation of various stakeholders. The common goal of creating a healthy and clean environment and an empowered community is the impetus for improving plastic management.

Waste management (WM) has received increasing attention in recent years in micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). However, a comprehensive understanding of the WM research in MSMEs from different economic sectors is somehow absent in spite of its proliferation. The current review was conducted to indicate types of waste, hazards associated with waste, as well as strategies, antecedents (facilitators and barriers), and outcomes of WM in MSMEs from diverse economic sectors. The search was performed by using the Web of Science (WoS) database, which retrieves 420 articles. After excluding the papers that were not closely related to the topic, 84 articles were retained for an in-depth analysis, spanning a period of five years (from 2018 to June 2022). This review demonstrates that the types of waste generated from MSMEs include metals, plastics, chemicals, papers, wood, fabrics, stones, food, ceramics, glass, candles, and cooking oil, among others. It is also resulted that the hazards associated with waste include environmental pollution, CO 2 emissions, human diseases, health disasters, and marine life destruction. Examples of the WM strategies in MSMEs research are recycling, separating, sorting, reusing, and composting waste. The findings revealed that a lack of financial resources, knowledge, experience, education, and training are some barriers encountered by MSMEs in WM. Enhancing financial performance, economic growth, competitive advantage, and sustainable development are important outcomes of WM in MSMEs. There has been a paucity of research on MSMEs WM, necessitating a thorough investigation of several issues. This research discusses implications and recommendations and presents avenues for future research. The current paper is one of the first studies to conduct a systematic review of WM in MSMEs from different economic sectors.
