Abstract

This research aims to know waste volume, waste composition, and emission reduction through sorting and without sorting at Superdepo Sutorejo Waste Processing Unit (TPS), Surabaya. The calculation of waste volume and composition was carried out in accordance with SNI 19-3964-1994, while the calculation of carbon dioxide emission was based on the United States-Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA). The results showed that the solid waste volume in Superdepo Sutorejo Waste Processing Unit was 0.7 kg/person/day with organic waste composition percentage of 63%, plastic waste of 15.22%, paper of 5.36%, aluminium of 2.22%, glass of 1.31%, rubber 0.78%, and residual waste of 12.09%. Carbon dioxide emission without waste sorting was amounted to 9,087.05 MTCO2E/year while carbon dioxide emissions through waste sorting was amounted to 8,512.5 MTCO2E/year. Therefore, the sorting at 3R Superdepo Sutorejo Waste Processing Unit (TPS) Surabaya could store the emission of carbon dioxide by 6.3%.
