Fenomena Sampah Plastik Dan Penanggulangannya Dalam Perspektif Hukum Islam

Abstract

The paradigm of using plastic bags has become a necessity for some Indonesian people, the packaging is a practical alternative, easy to obtain compared to other types of materials. Even though it is a necessity in human life, the use of plastic bags is a problem in dealing with them because they are difficult to decompose.The aim of the research is to determine the phenomenon and efforts to deal with plastic waste which are studied from the perspective of Islamic law, through an empirical qualitative approach, namely a grouping of sciences that focuses on research on human behavior and the environment. Empirical is defined in philosophical terms to explain epistemological theories which consider experience as a source of knowledge. Then empirical research is a method that uses empirical evidence as information obtained through observation or experimentation.The results of the research obtained historical knowledge regarding the important need for plastic bags and the consequences they cause, which should be immediately addressed jointly between relevant stakeholders, including the community and business actors. From an Islamic legal perspective, religion has taught the importance of maintaining and safeguarding the environment, including the MUI through Fatwa Number 41 of 2014 concerning Waste Management to Prevent Environmental Damage, but it needs to be implemented further in the form of legal products as a guide for implementation.
