Aidha Puteri Mustikasari, Hartiwiningsih
Abstract
This study aims to determine the fulfillment of the right to a good and healthy environment by
household mask waste management during the COVID-19 pandemic based on the provisions
of existing laws and regulations. This study uses an empirical method by collecting direct data
related to the amount of mask waste, procedures for managing masks in the community,
constraints, and mask recycling actions using the Miles and Heberman analysis method. The
research on 100 respondents showed that 43% of individuals produced eight masks of waste in
one week. Next, 79% did not know about the procedures for managing mask waste, and 25%
of the community tore up masks before throwing them away. Then, as many as 89% disposed
of mask waste together with other types of household waste. In other households, 70% said
that there are no government facilities nearby, so the management of household waste has
not been effective and runs according to the provisions of existing regulations.
