Sampah, dalam pandangan Program PLASMA-B bukanlah masalah teknis yang menanti solusi dari luar.

Community-based waste management is a vital step toward creating a clean and sustainable urban environment. Waste Banks act as community-driven hubs, encouraging residents to sort and manage waste independently at the neighborhood level, including RT, RW, and sub-districts. To document the conditions, activities, and development of Waste Banks in Semarang City, this Waste Bank Profile Book has been compiled. The document serves as an official record, highlighting the role of communities in reducing waste and promoting environmentally responsible behavior.

Small islands in Maluku are blessed with natural beauty while also facing complex challenges. Saparua Island and Banda Island, both part of Central Maluku Regency, currently lack Final Disposal Sites (TPA) and Integrated Waste Processing Facilities (TPST).

As a result, residents have long managed their waste independently—by burning it, disposing of it in forests, or even dumping it into the sea.
