Indonesia is a country that has potential to evolve in tourism sector. By 2020, tourism sector in Indonesia is projected to be the biggest national foreign exchange contributor exceed oil and gas, coal, and palm oil sectors. The total of national foreign exchange revenue is influenced by the number of tourists and tourist’s expenditure. Increasing the number of tourists will increase the total waste generated. Since 2017, the Ministry of Tourism Republik Indonesia cooperates with International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatories (INSTO) developing a sustainable program in five regions in Indonesia, one of them is Batukaras Beach, where is located in Pangandaran Regency. Batukaras Beach area has been equipped with one waste transfer station (TPS), namely TPS Legokpari. The main problem that occurred in Batukaras Beach area is the oversupply of wate in the TPS at the peak season. Therefore, waste processing facility is needed to minimize the residue to the landfill and support the achievement of sustainable tourism certification. Waste processing is done through TPS 3R Batukaras whih consist of waste sorting, open windrow, recycled materials processing (glass, metal, paper, plastic), PP and PE waste processing at pyrolysis reactor. TPS 3R Batukaras is designed to handle the segregated waste from the source into three types: organic waste, commingled recyclable waste, and other waste with 4.95 ton/day total waste generated that consists of organic composition 61, 73% and plastic waste 12.38%. With the processing of waste at TPS 3R Batukaras, the total waste transported to the Purbahayu TPA will be reduce until 31.34% of the total waste. The minimum land required for processing the waste in the TPS 3R Batukaras is 490.14 m2.
