Abstract

Waste management has emerged as a global concern across several developing countries, including Indonesia. Makassar, one of the big cities in Indonesia, is encountering difficulties in controlling plastic waste. This study seeks to examine the dynamics of plastic waste management at the Environmental and Forestry Service in Makassar by combining SWOT and PESTLE analyses to comprehend the existing circumstances. This study is defined by a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collecting methodologies included document analysis, interviews, and literature reviews. The results of this study, gathered from interviews and literature reviews, indicate an improvement in plastic waste management in Makassar. This is strengthened by governmental rules prohibiting plastic usage, which raises awareness and encourages citizens to substitute plastic items with eco-friendly alternatives. Moreover, plastic waste management has significant opportunities if executed properly, particularly with the upcoming government program aimed at building an environmentally sustainable trash-to-energy system that incinerates waste responsibly. Nonetheless, challenges include population expansion, constrained human resources, unclear policies, and the absence of restrictions on plastics producers will diminish the efficacy of this initiative. Collaboration with the community and the business sector is essential to improve the efficacy of plastic waste management.
