Pengelolaan Limbah Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) di Daerah Jakarta Barat Berbasis Smart Infectious Waste Bank (SIWAB)

Abstract

Pandemi COVID-19 yang melanda dunia mengharuskan masyarakat untuk melindungi diri dari penularan penyakit melalui penggunaan alat pelindung diri (APD). APD dari COVID-19 seperti masker bedah (surgery mask), sarung tangan, pakaian dekontaminasi (hazardous material suit), dan pelindung wajah (face shield) sebagian besar terbuat dari plastik dan kebutuhannya meningkat tajam. Namun, limbah APD tidak dipahami masyarakat sebagai limbah B3 infeksius sehingga sering dicampur pembuangannya bersama dengan limbah domestik. Kondisi tersebut dapat ditemukan pada seluruh lokasi di Indonesia, terutama Daerah Khusus Ibukota (DKI) Jakarta. Berdasarkan laporan Dinas Lingkungan Hidup DKI Jakarta, penghasil limbah APD domestik tertinggi berada di daerah Jakarta Barat. Melalui penelitian dilakukan pengelolaan limbah APD di daerah Jakarta Barat berbasis Smart Infectious Waste Bank (SIWAB). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh timbulan limbah APD yang berasal dari rumah tangga dan merancang bank sampah yang didukung oleh teknologi digital (aplikasi) sebagai sarana pengelolaan limbah APD. Penelitian diawali dengan studi pendahuluan timbulan limbah APD beserta karakteristiknya dan dilanjutkan dengan perancangan SIWAB. Hasil penelitian berupa aplikasi SIWAB yang terintegrasi dengan smartphone. Penelitian ini akan memberikan kontribusi besar kepada pemerintah Jakarta Barat dalam pengelolaan limbah B3 infeksius khususnya dan Indonesia umumnya.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic that surge the world, requires people to protect themselves from the transmission of disease by using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The COVID-19 PPE, such as surgery masks, gloves, hazardous material suits, and face shields, are mostly made of plastic and the need for procurement is increasing. However, the community does not understand the PPE waste as infectious hazardous waste, so often it mixed with domestic waste. This condition can be found in all regions of Indonesia, especially the Special Capital Region of Jakarta. Based on a report from the Jakarta Environment Agency, the highest producer of domestic PPE waste is in the West Jakarta. Through this research, PPE waste management was carried out in the West Jakarta area based on the smart infectious waste bank (SIWAB). This study aims to obtain PPE waste generation from household and to design a waste bank that is supported by digital technology (application) as a means of PPE waste management. The research begins with a preliminary study of the generation of PPE waste and its characteristics and next designing an SIWAB application. The research result is a SIWAB application that is integrated with smartphone. This research will make a major contribution to the West Jakarta government in managing Toxic and Hazardous Materials (THM) infectious waste and Indonesia in general.

Implementing Biodigester Technology for Sustainable Waste Management in Mojokerto City, Indonesia

“…This was due to increased home-based activities, such as more frequent cooking, a surge in online shopping deliveries, and the heightened use of takeaway services [42,43]. Furthermore, the necessity to use medical supplies like masks, gloves, and sanitizers also contributed to the growing waste pile [8,44,45]. While a 3.25% rise might seem marginal briefly, in the realm of waste management, especially in an urban context, this percentage can translate to an overwhelming volume, placing considerable strain on existing waste disposal systems and landfills.…”

Potential Utilization of Plastic River Debris as Electricity Power Plant in Jakarta, Indonesia

“…This research is interesting because the potential for energy production from fossils is starting to decrease and the global community has committed to reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from marine debris generation. On the other hand, several cities in Indonesia are already in a waste emergency condition, such as Jakarta (Koko et al, 2022;Rahmalia et al, 2022;Sari, Andarani, et al, 2022;.…”

Analisa Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Masyarakat Di Wilayah Berkembang Dalam Berpartisipasi Dalam Pengolahan Sampah Berbasis Black Soldier Fly (Studi Kasus: Kecamatan Pantai Labu, Sumatera Utara)

“…"Studi ini memanfaatkan persamaan Slovin untuk menentukan jumlah sampel yang digunakan dalam penyebaran kuesioner, dengan tingkat signifikansi yang dipilih sebesar 10%. Pemilihan ini dilakukan berdasarkan metodologi yang telah digunakan dalam beberapa studi sebelumnya, seperti (Mulyadi et al, 2010;Rahmalia et al, 2022;Yuliana & Wijayanti, 2019).…”
