Waste consists of household waste, waste similar to household waste, and specific waste. Waste generated in the campus area is included in household type such as plastic waste, and specific waste especially if it used hazardous materials or contains hazardous and toxic waste in campus laboratories. So that good waste management must be applied to improve the health of the academic civitas and maintain the quality of the campus environment. The aims are to ensure that integrated waste management can be carried out on the University of Muhammadiyah Mataram by minimizing waste and maximizing recycling and composting. Integrated waste management system with the concept of zero waste applies the principle of 3 R (reduce, reuse, recycle), 4R (replace) or 5R (replant). This activity was carried out through counseling on waste management to the campus academic civitas, particularly the Faculty of Health Sciences UMMat. The expected outcomes are the commitment to realize zero waste of the UMMat campus, and participants get a good understanding of plastic waste management as well as raising awareness to sort and dispose of waste in appropriate places of its kind.

Abstract Background Plastics were considered as a magical material owing to their strong, non-degradable and versatile characteristics. After five decades of mass application, plastics’ property of non-biodegradability has become one of the key concerns for scientists, civil society and government owing to the pollution and damage that plastics cause to our environment. Globally we have generated 8.3bn tonnes of plastics since 1950s and around 9% has been recycled, 12% incinerated and the remaining 79% of the plastics has ended up in the environment. The core question is, should this waste be minimised through the zero-waste agenda or banned through the toxic-waste agenda? Results The study analyses the zero plastic waste agenda and the toxic plastic waste agenda. It analyses zero-waste practices at different levels including family to community, industry and city levels. In addition, the study investigates the need to phase out toxic plastics. The study identified the need for both approaches. As plastics promote the throwaway living which is responsible for generating undesirable waste, it should be tackled through better design principles and sustainable consumption practices for the short-term agenda. The study proposes a strategic zero plastic waste framework for moving towards a zero plastic waste society. At the same time, there is a need to identify those plastics that are leading to serious and toxic impacts through micro-particles that necessitate them to be phased out more quickly through transitioning to bio-plastics. Conclusions Both zero plastic and zero toxic agendas are urgently needed. The study concludes that at least three things in the short term need to be implemented simultaneously to achieve a zero plastic waste society. Firstly, through zero-waste design - to eliminate creating any unnecessary plastic waste through closed-loop design thinking. Secondly, through responsible and collaborative consumption - to avoid and reduce generating avoidable plastic waste. Finally, through zero-waste management - to prioritise the value, retain the wasted materials and recover all resources. The study also establishes that a new long-term agenda needs to be created to identify those plastics that must be phased out owing to their toxicity. Consequently, the study suggests a process to achieve it in line with the transition to the post fossil-fuel era through United Nations initiatives as a joint action of the Paris Agreement and the Basel Convention.

Plastic is slowly covering the earth, accumulating in oceans, soil, air, and human and non-human bodies. In the face of this catastrophe, zero waste activists call upon us for action, detailing, how we, too, can change our lifestyle to eliminate plastic waste and save the planet. Yet, who it is that is called upon, who speaks, and whose voices and lived realities might be ignored? In this contribution, we explore the social politics of the zero waste movement. This leads us to ponder: might popular environmental movements that relegate social justice to the back seat ultimately do more harm than good?

ABSTRAK                                                               Sampah merupakan salah satu permasalahan yang ada di sekitar kita, dimana sumber sampah salah satunya berasal dari suatu kelompok dengan jumlah aktivitas manusia yang komposisinya 75% terdiri dari sampah organik dan 25% sampah anorganik. Sampah anorganik yang paling banyak dijumpai di masyarakat adalah sampah plastik. Pada tahun 2008 produksi sampah plastik untuk kemasan mencapai 925.000 ton dan sekitar 80% berpotensi menjadi sampah yang berbahaya bagi lingkungan. Karena potensi yang cukup besar, alangkah lebih baik untuk dimanfaatkan sampah plastik ini menjadi suatu produk yang mendukung kehidupan kita. Salah satu cara pemanfaatan sampah plastik khususnya yang berasal dari sampah botol minimum yaitu dengan penggunaan sampah botol menjadi pot untuk taman hijau akan membantu Universitas Muhammadiyah Mataram memiliki gerakan menanam dan mengurangi sampah plastik. Kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat menggunakan sampah plastik untuk dibuatkan menjadi pot yang dapat digantung atau dirangkai sehingga bisa menjadi taman hijau. Bahan-bahan yang digunakan yaitu sampah plastik dan kawat atau tali. Bahan-bahan yang digunakan dilakukan pengumpulan terlebih dahulu, dilakukan pemilahan, membersihkan plastik, membentuk pot, melakukan penanaman, dan dilakukan perawatan. Mitra dalam kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat adalah pengelola kantin dan mahasiswa. Kegiatan pengabdian pada masyarakat melibatkan mitra pengelola kantin yang berperan untuk pengumpulan botol plastik yang nantinya akan dipilih sesuai dengan kebutuhan pot yang dibuat untuk taman hijau dan mahasiswa yang berperan menjadi pionir dalam membuat taman hijau dan perawatan untuk taman hijau. Taman hijau yang telah terbentuk telah menjadi langkah kecil untuk mencapai zero waste yang merupakan program NTB Gemilang. Kata kunci : sampah; plastik; taman hijau. ABSTRACT Garbage is one of the problems around us, where one source of waste comes from a group with a total of 75% of human activity consisting of organic waste and 25% inorganic waste. Inorganic waste that is most often found in the community is plastic waste. In 2008 the production of plastic waste for packaging reached 925,000 tons and around 80% has the potential to become hazardous waste for the environment. Because of its considerable potential, it would be better to make use of this plastic waste into a product that supports our lives. One way to utilize plastic waste, especially those originating from minimum bottle waste, is the use of bottle waste into pots for green parks will help the University of Muhammadiyah Mataram have a movement to plant and reduce plastic waste. Community service activities use plastic waste to be made into pots that can be hung or strung together so that they can become green parks. The materials used are plastic waste and wire or rope. The materials used are collected in advance, sorting, cleaning plastics, forming pots, planting, and carried out maintenance. Partners in community service activities are canteen managers and students. Community service activities involve canteen management partners whose role is to collect plastic bottles which will be selected according to the needs of pots made for green parks and students who play a pioneering role in making green parks and care for green parks. The green park that has been formed has become a small step towards achieving zero waste which is the NTB Gemilang program. Keywords : garbage; plastic; green garden.
