The development of the Cosmetic Industry in Indonesia has become a mainstay sector in the development of national industry. This development is also supported by natural resources and human resources which contribute to the fifth largest cosmetic product sales market in the world. The increasing public consumption in the use of cosmetic products is in line with the increase in cosmetic product packaging waste produced. The purpose of this study is to identify generation, material flow analysis and recommendations for waste management of cosmetic product packaging. Data collection was carried out through the distribution of questionnaires and interviews conducted in Bandung. Based on the results of these data, there is a prediction that the generation of cosmetic product packaging waste in the city of Bandung will reach 16.84 tons / month including ten types of skin-care and make-up products. From the amount of generation produced, there is a material flow analysis of cosmetic packaging waste with initial treatment at the source such as disposed of mixedly, disposed of disaggregated or burned. In addition, there is further processing such as being disposed of at the Temporary Disposal Site and given to third parties. The amount of waste produced is very high and not directly proportional to the management facilities. Management recommendations are carried out by reducing and handling waste through preventive and curative steps in the management of cosmetic product packaging waste. This is in accordance with the classification of cosmetic waste as specific waste containing Hazardous and Toxic Materials (B3) which is regulated through PP No. 27 of 2020 concerning Specific Waste Management.
