Abstract

Plastic waste is an issue highlighted in Indonesia, especially the management of plastic waste and COVID-19 plastic waste. Now it is often the talk of society about how to manage plastic waste, COVID-19 plastic waste, and why people throw it away not according to regulations. This study aims to analyze the weaknesses of the waste management policy strategy and provide the best solution. A qualitative research approach using purposive sampling has been determined for policy-makers at the provincial and city levels, COVID-19 waste and waste managers, informal community leaders, and community members. Initial data was obtained using a Systematic Literature Review, and further data was obtained from in-depth interviews with 180 key informants. The results of this study indicate that the success of COVID-19 plastic waste management will run more optimally if it is communicated to the entire community community through the information, communication, and education program, follows procedures, has an adequate budget, increases knowledge through training, and disseminates regulations to improve community behavior. The contribution of this research lies in two key factors; namely, success is largely determined by the involvement of the House of Representatives Province and City to increase the budget for plastic waste and Covid-19 waste management and increase public knowledge through regulatory communication.
