This article focuses on household waste management in Indonesia, with particular emphasis on inorganic and hazardous waste. It seeks to identify the current situation and also aims to provide a review of the existing policies that are particularly related to inorganic and hazardous waste management.Kitchen waste is the highest fraction of household waste, followed by recyclable inorganic wastes such as plastic, paper and card board. The results suggest that the majority of householders dispose hazardous waste together with other household waste, which will then be disposed at the landfill Although the fraction of hazardous and toxic waste from the household waste stream is low, there is still the need to separate these types of waste in order to avoid soil pollution and the contamination of compost products that are produced from household waste.Policies for the proper management of waste through source separation and treatment are in place, although further implementation should be pursued to make them effective. At-source separation requires awareness and a strong will from the bottom-up, coupled with regulatory mechanism from the top-down, whereas application of automated sorting equipment would require capital cost. Further in-depth studies into the dynamics and mechanisms of source separation of domestic wastes are required..

“…The applied open windrow composting has low investment and operation costs and requires minimum process control, but has large area requirement (Veeken, 2005). Land availability, together with labor and wage systems and capability of composters were identified as barriers for development of communal 3R systems (Aprilia et al, 2012). The centralized 3R system, applying only composting, requires less investment than combined digestion and composting 3R systems, but both systems still require lower investment costs than a conventional system.…”

“…Data on access to sanitation, residential features and population development and prognoses for a wide variety of development countries are freely available (WHO and UNICEF, 2014;BPS, 2014;NBSC, 2014;Ministry of Health, 2013;UNpopulation, 2012;DSM, 2014). However, despite the availability of general guidelines on system selection (TTPS, 2009) and a range of comparisons and evaluations on wastewater and solid waste systems (Kearton et al, 2013;Eales et al, 2013;Aprilia et al, 2012;USAID, 2006;WSP, 2011), a combined feasibility analysis of wastewater and solid waste systems under different residential conditions is lacking in scientific literature.…”

“…Energy usage for conventional aerobic technologies contributes significantly to operational costs (Chernicharo, 2006) and in the absence of a stable power supply, sustainable service provision may be compromised (Lettinga, 2006). The predicted population growth and urbanization (Proyeksi Penduduk Indonesia, 2013) will add pressure on space availability (related to population density), especially in urban areas (Aprilia et al, 2012). Consequently, the area footprint of facilities becomes an important parameter in system selection.…”

“…Existing Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) systems include the collection of waste from households by motorized or hand carts to a transfer station, followed by transportation to a landfill (Aprilia et al, 2012;TTPS, 2009). Between 2010 and 2014, 207 municipal landfills were constructed but only 132 have sufficient capacity until 2019 (MoPW, 2014b).…”

Global solid waste generation is steeply increasing. Currently, high-income countries are responsible for the utmost per capita waste generation, but as economies of the Global South are growing rapidly, their waste is expected to triple by 2050. Simultaneously, countries such as Indonesia did not manage to align their socio-economic development with a sustainable solid waste management (SWM) and therefore contribute significantly to waste debris. Community participation is recognized by governments and civil society actors as an inclusive and transformative tool to manage exacerbating environmental issues. Urban regions intensify the challenges of solid waste generation, as is the case in Jakarta. Therefore, sustainable waste management is subject to an increasing number of civil society organizations. The study analyzed how participative processes within SWM efforts in Jakarta are executed, to investigate potentials and obstacles that evolve during the implementation. Another aim was to explore the heterogenous perspectives of participation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with civil society actors, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs), social enterprises, and waste banks to get insights into participatory procedures in Jakarta. The results reveal that the waste problems in Jakarta are complex, interrelated, and multi-layered. While participatory procedures have been acknowledged by the organizations to be highly relevant for waste management, such approaches should be adapted depending on the local circumstances and actors. Some of the obstacles and limitations include deficiency of infrastructure for SWM, lack of government engagement, and general awareness. Therefore, participatory formats should be combined, e.g., with suitable structures and balanced engagement of all relevant actors. Among others, further empirical research is needed to get a better understanding of the effectiveness of participation for efforts addressing environmental pollution. Such research can reveal (hidden) potentials of participative formats for sustainable waste management in urban or metropolitan areas in the Global South.
