Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Indonesia takes the second place in the world in producing plastic waste brought to the sea. This issue receives immediate follow-up from the government through its policies, one of which is the system of extended producer responsibility (EPR) system as provided in Law Number 18 of 2008 on Waste Management and Government Regulation Number 81 of 2012 on Domestic Waste and Similar Waste Management although this policy has not been implemented to date. This research is aimed to formulate implementable policy to enable EPR system to be implemented in Indonesia by considering the balance of interests among enterprises, government, and societies. This research found several impeding factors regarding the implementation of the EPR system in Indonesia: (1) unchanged end-of-pipe paradigm; (2) limited government funding; (3) unsupportive cultural and social conditions; (4) lack of commitment of stakeholders; and so forth. To tackle those obstacles, transformation in plastic waste management from end-of-pipe into integrated end-of-pipe and 3R (reduce, re-use, recycle) is required. In addition, several policies demand to be made, involving: (1) regulatory instruments; (2) economic instruments; and (3) informative instruments. A policy to delegate responsibilities of product packaging waste management from the government to producers and consumers is also required.
