“…Reference [11] emphasizes that "Plastic bags are made from polyethylene, a product of petroleum, which is a non-renewable natural resource but it is essential for the continuation." Further, "the use of plastics lead to pollution of soil and water as harmful chemicals from plastics seep into soil and kill microbial organisms.…”

Plastic waste is the primary concern for many countries worldwide. In Indonesia, the issue remains a problem that requires greater attention. Although several regulations have been implemented to reduce plastic waste, efforts and strategies are essential to maximizing the outcomes of the laws. Plastic waste, if it is not disposed of properly, brings adverse effects on health. By that, the regional government is urged to come up with policies to reduce plastic waste. This paper discussed: First, the issues of plastic and people’s needs for plastic in today’s era. Second, it explored the policies of the regional government in developing a waste management program to combat the problem. The data of this empirical juridical research came from the interview and focus group discussion involving several samples selected purposively.

“…Another definition that can be given to sustainable development is "to perform activities that safely can be performed indefinitely" (Fitzmaurice M, Ong DM and Merkouris, 2010).

“…As in other areas of international law, the most important legal sources in the environmental field remain mainly in the States [16]. Nevertheless, the concept of international legal personality has expanded in recent years, which is also applicable to some international NGOs, including regional intergovernmental organisations that have the ability to contribute to the development of international (environmental) laws [17,18]. Cooperation on free trade and investment as well as economic integration have increased significantly since the 1980s in this region.…”

Environmental issues know no boundaries and are recognised as a matter of regional and/or global concern, and neighbouring countries have to face shared environmental effects. Environmental laws internationally, particularly in the last thirty years, have grown significantly and have contributed to environmental protection in a variety of national, regional and international management strategies. In recent years, environmental legislation has entered into a responsible and mature phase in several non-Western countries, particularly in Asia. The present study examines the shared environmental obligations of regional or neighbouring countries using China and Pakistan as a case study and provides references from international (environmental) laws as well as states’ best practices. This study adopts a well-defined analytical methodology to not only investigate the implications of environmental laws but also to define the gaps in the existing framework of environmental laws in the region and recommend appropriate grounds to systematically fill these gaps through much-needed legal cooperation before it is too late. The study provides a detailed analysis and pertinent knowledge horizons, and concludes that there is an abrupt need for China and Pakistan to revise their trade agreements and include the environment as an integral part of each mega-infrastructural activity, including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Most of the potential outcomes are already known but there is little academic discussion available concerning the perspective of cross-boundary environmental laws, and the present study intends to fill this gap.
