Abstract

The issue of important waste entering Indonesia is now busy being discussed, the problem that occurred in Sumengko Village, Gresik. This problem stems from the disposal of waste produced by Adiprima, which is a paper factory that imports waste as one of its production materials. However, it is the valuable value of imported waste that makes waste a resource for them. The profit from this imported waste business makes actors want to get access to garbage. This seizing access then causes conflict between the actors involved, which ends in garbage news from the village.
