Collaborative Approach on Waste Economic Circularity Towards Climate Action in Indonesia
Indonesia, as a nation characterised by a burgeoning population and rapid industrial growth, confronts formidable waste management challenges. Indonesia is also dealing with an undisputable plastic contamination challenge, as it is home to the world's largest archipelago – over 17,000 islands, 81,000 kilometres of coastlines and a rich bounty of marine biological biodiversity.
The amount of plastic waste produced in Indonesia is increasing at unpredictable levels. In urban communities, streams and coastlines, the aggregation of poisonous plastic squander undermines our food chain and health.
