PROBLEMATIKA PROGRAM ZERO WASTE DI SMAN 1 BATUKLIANG

Abstract

One of the roles of the government in reducing waste in Indonesia is through the implementation of the zero-waste program. The implementation of the zero-waste concept in schools involves education about the environment, waste reduction, waste sorting, recycling, and the use of environmentally friendly products. The aim of this research is to understand the implementation, problems, and solutions of the zero waste program at SMAN 1 Batukliang. This research uses a qualitative research method with a case study approach, and data is collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis is then conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the implementation of the zero-waste program at SMAN 1 Batukliang is considered to have achieved its objectives and has had a positive impact on the school and its surroundings. However, there are challenges encountered during the program, such as misunderstandings between the members of the Student Council (OSIS) and some waste pickers around the school, as well as some students who are less actively participating in the program. Therefore, solutions to these issues have been formulated, such as coordinating with waste pickers through teacher assistance and conducting seminars or socialization activities to enhance student understanding.
