until 2024. This figure is not yet the total number of waste generation in the water area,
due to limited handling facilities (Putra & Raharjo, 2023).
Maluku is a province dubbed as the "Province of 1000 Islands" with Ambon as its
capital. The number of islands makes Maluku a province that has a diversity of natural
resources, languages, customs, and cultures. This should be able to make Maluku a rich
and developed region, including in terms of environmental management and waste from
public consumption. Despite having great potential for natural resources and human
resources, Maluku, especially Ambon City, still experiences many obstacles in terms of
waste management, especially plastic waste from seawater shipments. In 2023, the
Ambon City Environment Agency released data related to the total waste pile in Ambon
City which reached 246 tons per day (F Mayaut, 2024) This is one of the reasons for the
lack of precise waste management from upstream to downstream.
One of the coastal areas that has the highest risk of waste generation in Ambon
City is the Land of Laha with a risk of generating 200 kg of waste from community
consumption and 80 kg of consignment waste every day. Until 2022, the country of
Laha does not have an integrated waste management system (Agung, Juita, & Zuriyani,
2021). The emptiness of the waste management system has an impact on the habit of
people throwing garbage carelessly, which pollutes the environment. This is the main
background, why the Land of Laha must have a waste management system that can
process all waste from public consumption and waste sent from seawater medium
(Syahruddin & Putri, 2022).
Departing from the void of the waste management system in the Land of Laha, PT
Pertamina Patra Niaga Aviation Fuel Terminal (AFT) Pattimura is committed to
carrying out social innovations related to the integration of environmental improvement
using the concept of waste management. The Innovation Program is called NEKAT SA
(Country of Katong Without Waste) which means Our Country Without Waste.
NEKAT SA is an innovation program that houses the big idea of 4 AFT Pattimura
community development partners to create an integrated waste management system
from upstream, process, to downstream stages (Harimurti et al., 2020). The innovation
program of the Katong No Waste Country (NEKAT SA) can create a multi-stakeholder
value chain, manage waste management activities with the concept of zero waste and
apply circular economy principles. This waste management innovation can process
organic, inorganic, and residual waste into valuable products and increase the income of
the surrounding community (Kusumaningsari, 2019).
Based on the results of field findings in Laha Country, one of the challenges in
waste management lies in the stage of changing people's habits of waste management.
The community also complained that the waste sorting process from the household level
was impractical and time-consuming so people became lazy. Various efforts have been
made by the state government, the Bumi Lestari Maluku Waste Bank, and the CSR
program carried out by PT Pertamina Patra Niaga AFT Pattimura it is still finding a
steep road in overcoming the waste problem in the Land of Laha. The complexity of the
