Dr. Rozanna Dewi and Dr. Baidawi discuss the positive and negative aspects of waste management during a radio talk show on RRI Lhokseumawe. Their insights aim to educate the public on the economic potential and environmental impacts of waste.
KBRN, Lhokseumawe: Some residents in the city of Lhokseumawe still view waste negatively. Meanwhile, in other regions of Indonesia, people have started to see the positive side of waste because it can actually have economic value.
This was stated by the Head of the Chemical Engineering Study Program (Ka Prodi) at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Malikussaleh (Unimal), Dr. Ir. Rozanna Dewi, M.Sc, accompanied by the Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, Dr. Baidawi, on Tuesday afternoon, June 6, 2023, when speaking at the Disaster Response Dialogue (Kentongan) of RRI Lhokseumawe about Managing Economically Valuable Waste.
Dr. Rosa (as Rozanna Dewi is commonly called) also said that waste, especially plastic waste, if discarded, will not biodegrade or decompose even in 1,000 years.
"So, if we do not change our habits or just dispose of it in landfills, it can become a serious threat to the environment. Whereas in other regions, plastic waste is already being shredded, sorted, and processed into paving blocks, briquettes, furniture, and so on. Even if discarded in landfills, plastic waste will remain there and will not decompose. Moreover, if it is thrown into water reservoirs such as ponds, ditches, or drains, it will clog the water channels," she explained.
Research conducted by various universities in Indonesia and around the world shows that only 9 percent of plastic waste is newly processed. This means that plastic waste discarded by its users can reach billions of tons worldwide every year.
"If we line it up, plastic waste would already cover or dominate the surface of the earth. So, what can be done now is, first, education to facilitate the process of managing and processing plastic waste," added Dr. Rosa.
The Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture at Unimal, Dr. Baidawi, stated that when talking about waste, there are indeed two sides: negative and positive, although now many people still view only the negative side.
