Indonesia faces a serious challenge in managing its waste. Large amounts of plastic are produced and consumed every day, yet much of it remains unmanaged, leading to pollution on land and leakage into the ocean.
Beyond infrastructure gaps, the issue is driven by mindset, knowledge and behaviours. Waste management is often seen as the responsibility of the government or other stakeholders, rather than a shared responsibility. This reflects a lack of awareness and individual ownership, where everyday habits and consumption patterns contribute significantly to the growing waste crisis.
