This study aims to determine and examine the role of the Environmental
Agency in monitoring ethanol waste in Sukoharjo District and the obstacles faced
by the relevant agency in the field and their solutions.
This research uses empirical research. This study uses primary data and
secondary data. Primary data were obtained from respondents using interview
guidelines. Secondary data consists of primary legal materials and secondary legal
materials. Data analysis was performed using qualitative analysis methods, and
conclusions were drawn using inductive thinking processes.
The results show that the supervision of waste management by the
government, in this case the Environmental Service, has not been maximally
realized because there are several obstacles faced, namely the lack of facilities and
infrastructure, the lack of Human Resources (HR), so that information,
socialization, and guidance for entrepreneurs are not conveyed. Ethanol which
causes supervision cannot be carried out optimally, as well as the lack of budget
from the Government for related agencies.
