【 摘 要 】

Surabaya is the capital city of East Java and it has a coastal area. This coastal area has lot of communities and tourism activities. As a result, this will have an impact of increasing plastic waste in the environment. This circumstance will have an impact on increasing plastic waste in the environment. The accumulation of plastic waste on the east coast of Surabaya is due to human activities. The present study has identified the polymer of plastic debris collected from the east coast of Surabaya. Bulak was the major district having high plastic debris (89.41%). The highest of three polymer types were identified viz. polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Polypropylene was the most polymer plastic found on the east coast of Surabaya (67.86%), particularly in Bulak followed by Kenjeran, Gunung Anyar, and Rungkut.
