Abstract
Plastic waste has become an urgent environmental issue in Indonesia. This study aims to identify innovative practices implemented by food and beverage companies in Indonesia in managing plastic packaging waste, thereby serving as a reference for other companies and policymakers. This research provides an empirical contribution to understanding waste management efforts as part of corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitments. The methodology employed a qualitative approach through document analysis, involving an in-depth examination of CSR reports from companies during the 2021–2023 period. Data validity and reliability were ensured through triangulation with other relevant sources, such as sustainability reports and related publications. The analysis revealed that through technological innovation, strong partnerships, and a commitment to sustainable practices, companies successfully reduced plastic waste by up to 30% while expanding networks of Waste Banks, the Green Warmindo Program, and the Drop Box Program. Collaborations through PRAISE and IPRO have also proven effective in raising public awareness and enhancing waste management efficiency, providing valuable guidance for other companies to adopt more responsible practices. The findings of this study have significant implications for the development of more comprehensive waste management policies and encourage collaboration among governments, industries, and communities to achieve sustainable development goals.

Bahasa Abstract
Limbah plastik telah menjadi isu lingkungan yang mendesak di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi praktik-praktik inovatif yang diterapkan oleh perusahaan makanan dan minuman di Indonesia dalam mengelola limbah kemasan plastik, sehingga dapat menjadi referensi bagi perusahaan lain dan pembuat kebijakan. Studi ini memberikan kontribusi empiris terhadap pemahaman mengenai upaya pengelolaan limbah sebagai bagian dari komitmen tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan (CSR). Metodologi yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan studi dokumen, yang melibatkan analisis mendalam terhadap laporan CSR perusahaan selama periode 2021-2023. Validitas dan reliabilitas data dilakukan melalui triangulasi dengan sumber-sumber relevan lainnya seperti laporan keberlanjutan dan publikasi terkait. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa melalui inovasi teknologi, kemitraan yang kuat, dan komitmen terhadap praktik berkelanjutan, perusahaan berhasil mengurangi sampah plastik hingga 30% serta memperluas jaringan Bank Sampah, Program Green Warmindo, dan Program Drop Box. Kolaborasi melalui PRAISE dan IPRO juga terbukti berhasil meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat dan efisiensi pengelolaan sampah, menawarkan panduan berharga bagi perusahaan lain untuk mengadopsi praktik yang lebih bertanggung jawab. Temuan penelitian ini memberikan implikasi penting bagi pengembangan kebijakan pengelolaan limbah yang lebih komprehensif dan mendorong kolaborasi antara pemerintah, industri, dan masyarakat untuk mencapai tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan.
