Scenario for mitigating climate change in indonesia: circular economy-based waste management (9r)

Abstract

Waste is identified as one of the contributing factors to climate change in Indonesia. The prevalence of open dumping sites (TPA) that release greenhouse gases, namely CH4 and N2O, there is a pressing need for better waste management. Moreover, a considerable amount of waste remains inadequately managed. Thus, as an initial step towards climate change mitigation, a scenario is developed to implement waste management based on the circular economy concept. Circular economy goes beyond mere waste management. It emphasizes reducing resource and material consumption in the production chain, encapsulated in the 9R framework. The 9R framework comprises ten circular economy principles, numbered from 0 to 9, divided into three major categories: (1) designing and using products more intelligently, (2) extending product lifespans, and (3) extracting value from materials. The numbering of the ten principles within the 9R framework depicts the level of circularity in supporting the circular economy. Consequently, through a literature review methodology, this research aims to create a scenario as a strategic plan for climate change mitigation. This endeavor aligns with the objectives of sustainable development (SDGs).
