The waste reduction paradigm is closely related to the circular economy's goal of maximizing value at every point in the product's life. Composting and recycling plastics is a simple way of reducing waste. Understanding the waste reduction potential can provide an overview of the value of goods at the end of their useful life. Therefore, this study aims to provide an overview of the potential for waste reduction through composting and recycling of waste. This study took place in 6 sub-districts in the south of Gunungkidul Regency. Secondary data on the generation and composition of household waste was obtained from the Environmental Service. Waste reduction potential is calculated using the projected waste generation in 2035. The analysis carried out includes analysis of waste generation and composition, projected waste generation, and waste reduction potential. The waste generation in the south of Gunungkidul Regency is 0.4 kg per day with an organic waste composition of 70.43%. The projection of waste generation shows that in 2035 the waste generated will be 105,770,60 kg per day or 38,602.41-tons per year. The potential for composting raw materials is 59,590.58 kg per day, and recycled waste is 8,043.59 kg per day. 64% of the total waste generation can become raw material for products with economic value. The economic potential generated from the two products from waste reaches a gross profit of IDR 7,445,808,408 per month. The economic potential will be great if the product management operations are not on a household scale. Product feasibility studies and economic feasibility studies can be interesting topics.
