Waste management is an activity that includes reduction, storage, collection,
packaging, utilization, processing, and/or stockpiling. Hazardous material waste
are substance, energy, and/or other components which due to their nature,
concentration and/ot amount, either directly or indirectly, can pollute and/or
endanger the environment, and life sustaunebility of human and other living things.
The hospital is one of the health service facilities for the community. Every hospital
must produce waste that can result in environmental pollution. Environmental
pollution is the entry ofpollutants into the environment that can pollute the
environment. This study aims to find out the legal aspects of cytotoxic type B3 waste
management by Awal Bros Pekanbaru Hospital and what obstacles hospitals face
in the implementation of cytotoxic type B3 waste management. Based on research,
the management of cytotoxic type B3 waste has been running well. And it is in
accordance with the Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number
22 of 202 1. This is evidenced by the existence of a temporary storage area to collect
waste behind the hospital. Every two times a day it is transported by the trasporter
party to be taken to the final processing, namely PT. Wastex, PT. Adi Karya, and
PT. Universal Eco Pacific. The obstacles faced in B3 waste management are
cleaners who are still negligent in managing waste, the availability of temporary
storage places, hospitals have difficulty managing environmental permits to
become AMDAL.
