This study aims to analyze the urgency and level of commitment of the Serang City Government in implementing policies for reducing plastic waste, while identifying the drivers and barriers to upholding the principles of green governance at the local level. A qualitative approach, utilizing a descriptive case study method, was employed. The findings indicate that the Serang City Government has demonstrated a strong formal regulatory commitment through the establishment of legal instruments, specifically Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2021 concerning Waste Management and Mayor’s Regulation Number 43 of 2019 concerning the Regional Strategy and Policy for Waste Management (Jakstrada). Nevertheless, the actualization of green governance at the operational level remains hindered by an implementation gap. Structural obstacles include weak law enforcement, limited fiscal capacity (for green budgeting), the absence of technical implementing regulations, and low levels of active participation among traditional market stakeholders stemming from socio-cultural and economic resistance. Conversely, sectoral partnerships with community-based waste banks, alongside the optimization of the Cilowong Final Waste Processing Site (TPAS) through a Waste-to-Energy (PSEL) project, serve as accelerators for reducing waste volume downstream. This study concludes that the manifestation of green governance in Serang City has reached the stage of administrative and regulatory compliance but has yet to be fully optimized in terms of operational enforcement. Policy reformulation should prioritize the development of technical implementing regulations for banning single-use plastics, allocating budgets for enforcement and oversight, and strengthening incentive schemes for environmentally friendly local economic sectors.
