Indonesia berada di peringkat kedua dunia penghasil sampah plastik ke laut sebesar187,2 juta ton per hari setelah Tiongkok yang mencapai 262,9 juta ton per hari padaTahun 2015. Plastik merupakan bahan penting yang masih dapat ditingkatkandalam Ekonomi Sirkular. Di negara berkembang khususnya Indonesia, pemulihansampah sangat tergantung pada kegiatan Sektor Informal, tetapi belum banyakpenelitian mengenai peran sektor informal dan kaitannya dengan Ekonomi Sirkular.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran Sektor Informal pengelolaansampah plastik khususnya Bandar terhadap Ekonomi Sirkular. Penelitian inidilakukan dengan teknik snowball sampling, hasilnya sektor informal yang berhasildipetakan sebanyak 29 Lapak dan 5 Bandar tersebar di Kota Depok, dengankemampuan daur ulang dan karakteristik mencerminkan sampel yang ada. BandarPak Eno merupakan salah satu Pelaku Sektor Informal pengelolaan sampah plastikterbesar di Kota Depok dimana dalam sehari mampu mengelola sampah plastiksebanyak 1621,61 kg/hari sehingga mengurangi sampah plastik yang masuk keTPA Cipayung (daur ulang) sebesar 1,23% pada Tahun 2019.

Indonesia is ranked second in the world as a producer of plastic waste to the sea,

amounting to 187,2 million tons per day after China, which reached 262,9 million

tons per day in 2015. Plastics are an important material that can still be improved

in a Circular Economy. In developing countries, especially Indonesia, waste

recovery is very dependent on informal sector activities, but there has not been

much research on the role of the informal sector and its relation to the Circular

Economy. This study aims to analyze the role of the informal sector in managing

plastic waste, especially the Dealers, in the circular economy. This research was

conducted by using snowball sampling technique, the result is that the informal

sector has been mapped as many as 29 Intermediates and 5 Dealers scattered in

Depok City, with the ability to recycle and reflect the existing sample

characteristics. Mr. Eno, as a dealers, is one of the biggest players in the informal

sector of plastic waste management in Depok City, where in a day he is able to

manage plastic waste as much as 1621,61 kg / day, thereby reducing plastic waste

that enters the Cipayung TPA (recycling) by 1.23% in 2019. Mr. Eno Dealers is

able to get benefits (financial results) from the plastic waste management process

through his contribution with the recovery of plastic waste materials of Rp.

2.883.984,-/day. In addition, Mr. Eno Dealers has created employment

opportunities for 50 stalls working together to deliver goods and 20 workers as well

as Providers or Suppliers for 4 Recyclers or User of Recycle Materials. The role of

Mr. Eno Dealers is very influential in increasing the Circular Economy through the

approaches of the Material Dimensions, Economic Dimensions and Social

Dimensions as indicators of the Circular Economy Index (CEI).
