Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Environmental pollution caused by the activities of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is a major challenge in environmental protection efforts in Indonesia. To encourage compliance with regulations, Law Number 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management (PPLH Law) stipulates administrative sanctions such as written warnings, government coercion, license suspension, and administrative fines. However, the implementation of these sanctions still faces several obstacles, including weak supervision, lack of inter-agency coordination, and limited human resources and infrastructure. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the implementation of administrative sanctions on MSMEs that cause environmental pollution and offers solutions through educational approaches, cross-sector collaboration, and the use of technology. The research findings reveal that an integrated approach is necessary, including capacity building for government officials and outreach to MSME actors. In addition, providing incentives for MSMEs that adopt environmentally friendly technologies is recommended to support more sustainable business practices.
