Hazardous And Toxic Waste Processing (B3)

Abstract

Hazardous and Toxic Materials (B3) waste management is a crucial element in maintaining environmental balance and protecting human health. Derivatives from various industrial sectors, B3 waste requires management with the aim of reducing the risk of environmental pollution and complying with government regulations. The main obstacle in B3 waste management is the diversity of types of hazardous substances, which requires a careful approach and the application of appropriate technology. The role of government in regulating and supervising B3 waste management through strict policies and regulations is very important. Positive initiatives, such as providing incentives to companies that implement good B3 waste management practices, can encourage sustainability in the business environment. Public awareness of the dangers of B3 waste also plays a key role, expected to increase active participation in efforts to prevent and manage B3 waste. This study, using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, identifies and analyzes literature related to B3 waste management, including Indonesian regulations governing procedures and technical requirements. These regulations stipulate thermal treatment methods with specific requirements for autoclaves, microwaves, radio frequency irradiation, and incinerators, including prohibitions on their use for certain types of waste. Treatment locations are also strictly regulated to ensure environmental and community protection. Thus, Indonesian regulations affirm a commitment to managing B3 waste with high standards, using safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly treatment methods, and promoting joint efforts towards a sustainable environment.
