ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTING ON THE TREATMENT OF MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT AS SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AT PUSKESMAS PLAWAD KARAWANG

Rapid population growth has an impact on environmental damage. Effective and efficient medical waste management is essential to maintain environmental sustainability and public health. Environmental accounting plays an important role in identifying, measuring, and reporting environmental costs and benefits. This study analyzes the implementation of environmental accounting at the Plawad Karawang Health Center. The results of the study indicate that the Plawad Karawang Health Center has implemented environmental accounting, but has not yet carried out good transparency to the public. The limited capacity of the B3 Medical Waste Storage Area is also an obstacle. This causes the involvement of Health Workers in storing medical waste at home, which can increase the risk of spreading disease. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate and improve environmental accounting and the infrastructure of the B3 Medical Waste Storage Area. Thus, it can increase the effectiveness of medical waste management and maintain environmental sustainability and public health.
