Organic and inorganic wastes derived from daily activities in Campus of Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI)
Bandung have not well managed yet. Office waste are mixed and discarded in a temporary open dump site will be taken
by other parties periodically. On the other hand, wastes from laboratories are stored in used containers. There is no particularspace to keep these containers. Campus LIPI Bandung is not yet equipped with proper and adequate for organic and nonorganic waste management facilities. The number of container is increasing over time. due to the awareness of waste
management. Due to the awareness of waste management is importance, comparative study was carried out with otherparties. Osaka University and Kyoto University was selected as our partners. Osaka University was represented by
Research Center for Environmental Preservation, Suita Campus, whereas Kyoto University was represented by ResearchInstitution for Sustainable Humanosphere (RISH), Uji Campus.
Prof. Ikuya Shibata, Associate Prof. Dr. Shinji Tsunoi, and Assistant Prof. Dr. Itaru Suzuki from Osaka University
explained in detail about the waste management. Osaka University strictly carries out the waste management based on theregulation published in Safety Manual which is renewed annually. Any wastes from laboratories were kept in containers
with a certain code based on its classification, for instance yellow sign for polar used solvent such as methanol, ethanol,acetone, tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl-formamide and etc. Red color sigh for non-polar used solvent such as benzene, toluene,
hexsane, and ethylacetate whereas the black sign for halogen such as chloroform, di/trichloromethane, and etc. On theother hand, container without any sign for ether, pentane, acetaldehyde, and carbondisulfide. This regulation is wellunderstood by all the residence of Osaka University. In addition to internal regulation, these wastes management is also
under controlled by the local government. The containers full of wastes were collected and stored in a temporary building
and will be taken up by the third party. Picking up schedule for the containers has been decided at least one month inadvanced. At the picking day, students and their professors seriously involved in this activity. The existing IPAL in Osaka
University is no more operated since it is costly for its daily treatment process. Prior to its use and disposal, all chemicals
are registered through the system called as Osaka University Chemicals Communication System (OCCS).
Similarly, Kyoto University managed the hazardous wastes based on regulation mentioned in the manual of which
well understood by all the residence. Ass. Prof. Kenji Umemura from RISH described how does the waste separated basedon the classification. The classification of wastes is of general industrial wastes (e.g. paper, flammable garbage, food waste,empty bottle, empty can), ordinarily industrial waste (scrap metal, waste plastic, waste wood, concrete), and speciallycontrolled industrial wastes (unnecessary chemical, inorganic liquid waste, asbestos-containing material). Kyoto
University collaborates with private company to pick up the waste regularly. The university impost a system to registerand list the purchased chemicals, its remaining and its disposal. The system is known as Kyoto University Chemicals
Register System (KUCRS)Discussions with research groups in LIPI Bandung, Cibinong, and Serpong were carried out to share the knowledgeof waste management in Japan Universities. Several suggestions were proposed to the Campus LIPI organizer such as to(1) introduce good waste management practice (2) provides trash bins facility for waste separation, (3) provides containers
for organic and inorganic wastes, (4) establish temporary storage building to keep containers for wastes, and (5) collaborate
with other parties or private companies to handle the hazardous solid as well liquid wastes.
Organic and inorganic wastes in Research Center for Chemistry-LIPI, Research Center for Biotechnology-LIPI
Cibinong, as well as Research Center for Biology in Cibinong were sent to the private company. The temporary building
to keep the waste is available in these research institutes. On the other hand, organic and inorganic wastes in ResearchCenter for Biomaterial LIPI Cibinong and Research Center for Physics in Serpong are kept in containers and collected inan unused room. Besides, informal discussion on the Japanese Waste Management was also carried out with colleagues
in scientific professional association.
Good waste management system based on this experience is freely discussed or suggested for those who required therelated information. Small model for organic waste treatment was established in Research Unit for Clean Technology.
Book manuscript entitles Safety Manual as a guide for researchers and technicians working in laboratory is published.
