Municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in Indonesia is increasingly complex for various reasons. The quantity of solid waste is expected to increase substantially due to an increasing population and rapid urbanization. Each municipality in Indonesia has a distinct technique and method to manage solid waste, depending on the peculiarities and problems. Cities and regencies have different characteristics. Research on municipal solid waste management conducted in regency areas is still limited. This study aims to investigate the implementation of MSWM in Indonesian regency areas. This study is based on a literature review and the relevant policies, but it also incorporates simple statistical analysis to support the points and arguments in this paper. The review found differences characteristic of MSWM in regency areas and city areas, such as waste generation, waste composition, and source of waste. MSWM solutions vary according to each municipality and rely heavily on local governments’ commitment and their financial, technical, and institutional capacity. The existing waste problem must be addressed holistically from upstream to downstream with a ‘cradle-to-grave’ mindset to create tangible advances in Indonesia’s solid waste management.

Improving waste and resource management (WaRM) around the world can halve the weight of plastics entering the oceans, significantly mitigate global heating and contribute directly to 12 of 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). Achieving such results demands understanding and learning from historical evolution of WaRM. The baseline is 1970, prior to environmental legislation. Early steps in the Global North focused on the ‘technical fix’ within strictly enforced legal frameworks, first bringing hazardous wastes and municipal solid wastes (MSW) under control, then gradually ramping up environmental standards. Using modern technologies to the Global South often failed due to institutional and financial constraints. From 1990, focus switched to integrating technical and governance aspects: local institutional coherence, financial sustainability, provider inclusivity, user inclusivity, national legislative and policy framework. The Global North rediscovered recycling, using policy measures to promote segregation at source; this relied on new markets in emerging economies, which had largely disappeared by 2020. The Global South is making progress on bringing wastes under control, but around 2.7 billion people lack access to waste collection, while ~40% of collected MSW is open dumped or burned – a continuing global waste emergency. So, much remains to be done to move further towards a circular economy. Three policy priorities are critical for all countries: access to sustainable financing, rethinking sustainable recycling and worldwide extended producer responsibility with teeth. Extending services to unserved communities (SDG11.6.1) requires a people-centred approach, working with communities to provide both quality services and decent livelihoods for collection and recycling workers.

“…In some cases, mismanaged plastic waste is openly burned. Incineration releases particulate matter, BPA, phthalates, and dioxins into air, soil, and water, posing health risks for nearby communities and waste workers (Velis and Cook, 2021;Wu et al, 2021;Ramadan et al, 2022). Studies of open waste burning have measured toxin concentrations at hazardous levels in Abeokuta, Nigeria (Oguntoke et al, 2019); Londrina, Brazil (Krecl et al, 2021); Telok Panglima Garang City, Malaysia (Yu et al, 2022); and other communities in low and lower-middle income countries (Velis and Cook, 2021).…”

Inequitable distribution of plastic benefits and burdens on economies and public health

et al. 2023

Plastic heterogeneously affects social systems – notably human health and local and global economies. Here we discuss illustrative examples of the benefits and burdens of each stage of the plastic lifecycle (e.g., macroplastic production, consumption, recycling). We find the benefits to communities and stakeholders are principally economic, whereas burdens fall largely on human health. Furthermore, the economic benefits of plastic are rarely applied to alleviate or mitigate the health burdens it creates, amplifying the disconnect between who benefits and who is burdened. In some instances, social enterprises in low-wealth areas collect and recycle waste, creating a market for upcycled goods. While such endeavors generate local socioeconomic benefits, they perpetuate a status quo in which the burden of responsibility for waste management falls on downstream communities, rather than on producers who have generated far greater economic benefits. While the traditional cost-benefit analyses that inform decision-making disproportionately weigh economic benefits over the indirect, and often unquantifiable, costs of health burdens, we stress the need to include the health burdens of plastic to all impacted stakeholders across all plastic life stages in policy design. We therefore urge the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to consider all available knowledge on the deleterious effects of plastic across the entire plastic lifecycle while drafting the upcoming international global plastic treaty.
