Today the world faces the fact that 10 million tonnes of waste, primarily plastic waste, pas through the river. This global issue has become a serious problem that can be resolved with location-based that utilizes remote sensing technology, following recent developments of technology. This study aims to estimate the weight of potential plastic waste at the estuary before it enters the ocean and becomes marine debris. Several parameters are developed based on three main aspects, which are environment as graded by LULC, social aspect as provided by population density using building data, and economic aspect as provided by nightlight from NOAA’s VIIRS. The estimation used raster-based digital numbers processing, by using estimated data and providing weight. As a result, it shows that most of the metropolitan cities such as Jakarta contribute almost 507 tonne of plastic waste per day. For other cities, its generation is directly proportional to the increase in population. This study could become a consideration to synthesize policies, with the fact that massive population density impacts the increasing of the plastic waste generation.
