Waste is one of the problems that occurred in the whole country. Composition of waste generated in TPS Pasar Simpang Dago consists of 17% plastic, 16% paper, 15% textile, 40% organic, and the other 12%. While the composition of waste generated in PPS Sabuga are 23% plastic, 24% paper, 50% organic, and the other 3%. TPS Cibeunying produces waste composition consisting of 16% plastic, 41% paper, 25% organic, and the other 18%. From the results of sampling at three transfer points in Bandung City, the grouping of waste composition is done based on the consumption categories which is consisting of 22 groups, i.e. primary foods, complementary foods, biscuits, snacks, groceries, other staples, beverages, food and beverage containers, non-food, health , education, personal items, laundry needs, bags, electronic, office, cosmetics, environmental hygiene requirements, mechanical, recreation, household appliances, and unknown. From the waste classification based on consumption, it can be concluded that people in Indonesia, especially in Bandung City are using plastics as food and other products packaging. Percentage of waste that could potentially be recycled by the recycling actors, which are scavengers is 3-16% consisting of PP and PVC plastic types. Oxium plastic found in the three transfer points are only 1-2% wet weight. However, biodegradable plastics are not found in all of the three transfer points. Field test is using three different treatments with three specimens. From the three tests performed, decreasing of weight and visual physical changes, which is the most visible form of plastic specimens is cassava plastic, with the decreasing weight on the soil test is up to 15,87%.
