This study assessed plastic waste generation, collection, treatment pathways, and potential environmental leakage in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia, using the Waste Flow Diagram (WFD) approach. Particular attention was given to the transition in the municipal waste management system following restrictions on direct disposal to the landfill. The analysis indicated that, despite a relatively high collection rate, potential plastic leakage may still occur mainly at downstream treatment and disposal stages. This suggests that improving collection alone is not sufficient and that better management at treatment and disposal facilities is also important. In future work, I plan to incorporate more detailed information on treatment facilities, recycling activities, and other relevant stakeholders to improve the accuracy of the plastic flow and leakage assessment.
