The lifestyle of modern society has made developments that exploit natural resources and threaten life. Development that relies on production growth has proven to be able to improve the economy. But it has failed in social and environmental terms. The various problems caused such as greenhouse gas emissions, reduced green land, environmental damage, and inequality in the social status of the community are phenomena that have not been resolved until now. The concept of a green economy which aims to improve the economy through development activities that do not ignore environmental sustainability is an alternative solution that can be taken in line with the SDGs program which is the global action plan of world leaders. The main problem that is a source of environmental pollution throughout the world, for example, is waste, especially plastic waste. Currently, consumption and production waste cannot be managed properly, even though if managed in an integrated manner it can generate economic value and can also generate a circular economy. This paper aims to analyze the extent to which integrated waste management in several countries, especially ASEAN in supporting the circular economy through the development of a green economy, and supports the concept of a sustainable economy. It is necessary to have digital innovation of green technology such as Sako (sampah dan ekonomi) to support this sustainable development program.
