印尼金屬包裝產業的可持續性分析與廢棄物管理：評估從托盤紙箱到塑膠分隔器的轉型

Abstract

本研究評估了印尼金屬包裝業從托盤紙箱隔板轉換為塑料隔板的可行性和環境優勢。它考慮了多種因素，包括可持續性、生產力、物流和合規性，尤其著重於包裝材料對環境的影響。研究利用層次分析法 (AHP) 對這些因素進行評估和比較，發現雖然塑膠隔板的初始成本可能較高，但其耐用性、較低的環境影響和更佳的功能性可提供顯著的長期效益。 這項研究符合印尼對永續發展目標 (SDG) 的承諾，特別是在減少廢棄物和土地保護方面，減少對生產紙箱隔板所需的樹木等原材料的依賴。調查結果顯示，利害關係人非常重視與「土地上的生命」和「減少廢棄物」相關的特質，反映出他們已轉向長期的永續發展目標，而非只著眼於眼前的成本節省。這一趨勢與全球永續發展的趨勢一致，因為企業逐漸意識到將環境與社會治理 (ESG) 考量納入決策過程的重要性。 儘管挑戰依然存在，包括初期成本較高以及塑膠隔板無法在當地生產，但減少包裝廢棄物和提高回收再利用的潛力，使塑膠隔板成為包裝業可行的解決方案。最終，研究表明，採用塑料隔板可以產生巨大的經濟和環境優勢，既能提高運營效率，又能符合不斷發展的可持續發展法規。我們鼓勵未來的研究調查替代決策方法，以進一步完善本分析，並探索其他可持續性包裝選項。

This study assesses the feasibility and environmental advantages of transitioning from pallet carton dividers to plastic dividers within the Indonesian metal packaging industry. It considers various factors, including sustainability, productivity, logistics, and compliance, with a particular focus on the environmental impact of packaging materials. Utilizing the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), the research evaluates and compares these factors, revealing that while plastic dividers may incur higher initial costs, they offer significant long-term benefits through their durability, lower environmental footprint, and improved functionality. The study is in alignment with Indonesia's commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably in terms of waste reduction and land conservation by diminishing the reliance on raw materials such as trees, which are essential for producing carton dividers. Findings indicate that stakeholders place a high priority on attributes related to "Life on Land" and "Waste Reduction," reflecting a shift towards long-term sustainability objectives rather than focusing solely on immediate cost savings. This trend is consistent with global movements in sustainability, as businesses increasingly recognize the importance of incorporating environmental and social governance (ESG) considerations into their decision-making processes. While challenges persist, including the initial higher costs and the absence of local production for plastic dividers, the potential to decrease packaging waste and enhance recycling initiatives positions plastic dividers as a viable solution for the packaging sector. Ultimately, the research suggests that the adoption of plastic dividers can yield substantial economic and environmental advantages, supporting both operational efficiency and compliance with evolving sustainability regulations. Future studies are encouraged to investigate alternative decision-making methodologies to further refine this analysis and explore additional sustainable packaging options.
