Abstract—Marine plastic pollution is mostly caused by the leakage of mismanaged plastic waste that rivers carry from the land. Indonesia was estimated to be the highest land-derrived marine plastic polluter in 2016 worldwide. This study aims to select a plastic capture device design for the specific conditions. We conducted the assessment using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to determine the most suitable design based on criteria, such as device effectiveness, durability, ease of operation and maintenance, costs, and river morphology. The TrashBooms emerged as the most preferred design, exhibiting superior performance in multiple criteria, making them the preferred choice for addressing waste leakage in river systems.
Keywords—marine debris, plastic pollution, trash barrier, plastic capture device
