| Summary: |
Global warming issue becomes a main issue in sustainable development planning for every country in the word. Indoensua as developing country has commitment to contribute in CO2 abatement with proper development policies. Since may 2008 Indonesia has introduced new law of Solid Waste Management (UU No. 18/2008), the basis of waste management under this law is waste reduction to a landfill as the fris prority. The highest waste material compositions in general are organic (50%) and plastic (15%) such as PET, PP, etc. In Indonesia, plastic is common to use as container/packaging. Plastic in Indonesia still using pertleum-ased container/packaging and it contributes Co2 emission in the life cycle. Thus, the recycling system on the plastc is significant in order tp mitigateCO2 emossions. That is, in this paper, we find the optimal system so as to reduce CO2 emission in the plastic recycling system. The new scenarios on the recycling plastic in transportation sector and manufacturing sector will introduce in this study. In transportation sector, higher truck capacity will introduce to see the effect on CO2 emissions abatement. On manufacturing sector, environmental friendly energy from new renewable energy will introduce to replace conventional energy sector. System Blue Tower (BT) technology through which the eniveronmentally friendly electricity is supplied from municipal organic waste was argued. The proposal of a concrete system would be a CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) project in the near future. This study model plastic recycling life cycle in Bandung City as a case study.
