Population growth and changes in economic patterns have resulted in increasingly diverse volumes, types, and characteristics of waste. In Bekasi, Karawang, and Purwakarta Regencies (Bekarpur), this situation is exacerbated by the suboptimal performance of existing waste services. Waste management efforts at the regency level face limitations in terms of inadequate facilities and governance, which, if left unaddressed, could lead to environmental, economic, and public health problems. Ekonomi sirkular principles, emphasizing recycling and waste reduction, offer a solution to alleviate the burden of waste management and enhance environmental protection. In the context of ekonomi sirkular implementation, regionalization policies play a crucial role since recycling, a significant component of ekonomi sirkular, often requires cross-regional collaboration. Therefore, the transformation of waste management in Bekarpur is carried out through regional waste infrastructure management. The objective of this research is to identify strategies for regional waste infrastructure management in Bekarpur using circular economy principles. Mixed method approach using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method with a pairwise comparison assessment questionnaire and Indetph Interview to obtain a more comprehensive strategy., featuring 5 criteria and indicators. Social criteria (S) hold the highest level of importance with a global weight of 0.47, indicating that social aspects are the primary considerations in ekonomi sirkular implementation. The second-highest criterion is economic (E) with a weight value of 0.24, followed by institutional (I) with a weight of 0.19. The remaining two criteria, technical (T) and environmental (L), have weights of 0.05 and 0.04, respectively.Seven subfactors hold high values, including public perception of waste services (S1), planning-monitoring-evaluation strategies (I3), financing structure (E4), investment costs (E1), waste infrastructure support facilities (T2), environmental quality protection and management (L2), and stakeholder collaboration (ABCGM and International (I1)).In-depth interviews reveal that the transformation of regional waste infrastructure in Bekarpur requires strengthening both governance and physical aspects. In terms of governance, the focus lies on social aspects as a precondition for ekonomi sirkular implementation. This is followed by securing financial resources and strengthening institutional aspects to provide a legitimate and legal foundation, uniting all stakeholders in waste planning and management with circular economy principles. Regarding physical aspects, efforts are directed towards providing adequate regional facilities and supporting facilities at the regency level. Additionally, the enhancement of environmental protection is ensured through the proper management of materials in a circular manner, enabling energy conservation and emission reduction to be achieved.
