Abstract
The Indonesian government established a nationwide community-based Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) treatment program as an intermediate treatment facility designed to serve 400 households. The facility is called TPS3R (Tempat Pengolahan Sampah dengan Reuse-Reduce-Recycle, translated into MSW Treatment Facility based on Reduce-Reuse-Recycle). Of the 922 TPS3R units nationwide, only 538 (58.35%) were functional. Owing to this low success rate, the government should evaluate the TPS3Rs situation before planning to build 307 new TPS3Rs from 2023 to 2024. This study compares the economic feasibility of intermediate treatment facilities at two scales: TPS3R Bramamuda (2 tons of MSW/day) and TPST Sinduadi (18 tons of MSW/day). The treatment cost for TPS3R Bramamuda was Rp. 742,000 (USD 50)/ton MSW, whereas that for TPST Sinduadi was Rp. 298,000 (USD 20)/ton MSW. However, the current tipping fees of both units were lower than the treatment costs. TPST Sinduadi downstream processing was crucial for offsetting treatment costs and tipping the fee gap. TPS3R Bramamuda did not have an extensive downstream business and relied on government grants to survive. Based on this study, several policy recommendations were proposed: 1) reasonability of the economic analysis and business plan should be included as one of the criteria to disburse state grants; 2) the government should guarantee the off-takers of the MSW treatment products; 3) the government should employ new methods to force the community to sort their garbage by enforcing a fair reward and penalty system; and 4) exploration of technology applications to charge the community with variable retributions, depending on their waste segregation compliance.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Development provides a future oriented, pro-active, authoritative source of information and learning for researchers, postgraduate students, policymakers, and managers, and bridges the gap between fundamental research and the application in management and policy practices. It stimulates the exchange and coupling of traditional scientific knowledge on the environment, with the experiential knowledge among decision makers and other stakeholders and also connects natural sciences and social and behavioral sciences. Environmental Development includes and promotes scientific work from the non-western world, and also strengthens the collaboration between the developed and developing world. Further it links environmental research to broader issues of economic and social-cultural developments, and is intended to shorten the delays between research and publication, while ensuring thorough peer review. Environmental Development also creates a forum for transnational communication, discussion and global action.
Environmental Development is open to a broad range of disciplines and authors. The journal welcomes, in particular, contributions from a younger generation of researchers, and papers expanding the frontiers of environmental sciences, pointing at new directions and innovative answers.
All submissions to Environmental Development are reviewed using the general criteria of quality, originality, precision, importance of topic and insights, clarity of exposition, which are in keeping with the journal''s aims and scope.
