The EVALUASI TIMBULAN DAN SISTEM PENGELOLAAN SAMPAH DI UNIVERSITAS SRIWIJAYA MENUJU KONSEP “GREEN CAMPUS”

Menuju Green Campus: Studi Pengelolaan Sampah UNSRI

Abstract

ABSTRAK: Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kondisi eksisting dan merumuskan strategi pengelolaan sampah menuju green campus di Universitas Sriwijaya (UNSRI). Penelitian dilakukan melalui survei lapangan, observasi fasilitas, dan estimasi timbulan sampah berdasarkan jumlah civitas akademika di setiap fakultas. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa total timbulan sampah UNSRI mencapai sekitar 0,064 kg/orang/hari atau 1,76 m³/hari, dengan komposisi dominan organik (48%), plastik (28%), dan kertas (15%). Sistem pengumpulan dan pengangkutan masih belum memenuhi standar SNI 19-3964-1994, terutama karena keterbatasan fasilitas pemilahan di sumber, frekuensi pengangkutan yang rendah, dan belum adanya kelembagaan pengelola sampah kampus. Rekomendasi strategi pengelolaan mencakup penerapan pemilahan di sumber, pembangunan waste station terintegrasi, pengolahan kompos dan daur ulang plastik, pembentukan Unit Pengelola Sampah (UPS), serta integrasi edukasi lingkungan dalam kegiatan akademik. Implementasi peta jalan pengelolaan ini diharapkan dapat menurunkan volume sampah tercampur hingga 50% pada tahun 2030 dan mendukung pencapaian indikator waste management dalam UI GreenMetric, sehingga UNSRI dapat menjadi percontohan kampus berkelanjutan di Sumatera Selatan.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to evaluate the existing solid waste management system and formulate strategic recommendations toward a green campus at Universitas Sriwijaya (UNSRI). Field surveys, facility observations, and waste generation estimations based on the number of academic community members were conducted. The results indicate that the total waste generation at UNSRI is approximately 0.064 kg/person/day or 1.76 m³/day, consisting mainly of organic waste (48%), plastic (28%), and paper (15%). The current collection and transportation systems do not yet comply with SNI 19-3964-1994, due to limited source separation facilities, low collection frequency, and the absence of an institutional waste management unit. The proposed strategies include implementing waste segregation at the source, developing integrated waste stations, promoting composting and plastic recycling, establishing a University Waste Management Unit (UPSK), and integrating environmental education into academic activities. The implementation roadmap is expected to reduce mixed waste volume by up to 50% by 2030 and strengthen UNSRI’s performance in the waste management indicator of the UI GreenMetric framework, positioning the university as a model of sustainable campus development in South Sumatra.
