Abstract. Jakarta is a city that has a serious problem in terms of solid waste management. The
Jakarta Environmental Agency records 7,000 tons of waste generated every day in this city. The

daily by 1,200 garbage trucks. Of that amount, around 1,900 to 2,000 tons are plastic waste.
Higher educational institutions have a key role in this regard to develop a sustainable society.
The concept of sustainability in campus can be propagated to students through the initiatives
such 3R activities namely reduce, reuse and recycle. However, until now there are still a lot of
universities have not given full attention to the environmental issues. Therefore, the
environmental education has not been implemented well among the academic community. This
study aims at answering the questions on what factors made the environmental education have
not been implemented well in higher education institutions and what should universities do to
create sustainable campus. In this research, a case study approach is employed to 3 universities

implementation of 3R based waste management policy. Interviews were also conducted with the
cleaning service team in 3 universities to find out whether the students understood how to sort
the waste to be disposed of. The research proved that environmental education is urgent to be
applied in universities to create the sustainable campus. Further analysis indicated that
universities which have applied the 3R programs show higher student achievement compared to
those which do not implement the 3R programs.
Keywords. 3R Waste Management, Educational Management, Sustainable Campus
Introduction
Jakarta is currently classified as an emergency city of waste (does not have landfill and
there is no waste management in the area of solid waste. The problem of waste in Jakarta is not
due to lack of solid waste regulation. Waste policy is very good and clear, including the issuance
of Regional Regulation No.3 of 2013 concerning Jakarta Waste Management, but what happens
is that the Jakarta Environmental Agency has not implemented the regulations properly and
consequently, especially the Article 13 of Law 18 of 2008 concerning Waste Management (this
Act was effective since 2013). The point is that there should no longer be large-scale
transportation of waste to landfill except hazardous and toxic materials that must be managed
in the 3R integrated waste disposal site.
