Linkage Model Between Sustainable Consumption and Household Waste Management

The growth of population increases not only the basic needs of human but also the use of natural resources. Household consumption pattern gives impact to economic growth, social condition, and environmental quality. Jakarta as the capital of Indonesia (the 4th biggest most populous country in the world) still has waste management problems. East Jakarta area has the biggest issue of unmanaged waste (2,430 m3/day) and Duren Sawit District has the biggest number of households or families (94,862 KK). This paper analyzed how the household consumption pattern links to the household waste management. The Spearman's Rho Correlation analysis showed that there are correlations between household consumption (for food and non-food) with the application of the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle). To build the linkage model between sustainable consumption and household waste management, this research used the system dynamics analysis. The result shows that the waste management system now in Jakarta is not sustainable, and it increases the unmanaged waste. To reduce the unmanaged waste, the model of inside (functional intervention through green motivation and green lifestyle) and outside (3R-structural intervention) could be applied.
