Indonesia

Combatting plastic pollution and waste in the world's largest archipelagic nation and ASEAN's biggest economy.

Indonesia's Challenge

6.8 Million

Indonesia generates 6.8 million tonnes of plastic waste each year – a figure that is growing by 5% annually.

+30%

Without bold and decisive interventions, the flow of plastic waste into Indonesia's oceans is projected to increase by 30% to around 800,000 tonnes by 2025.

The Indonesia National Plastic Action Partnership (NPAP)

70%

The NPAP works in alignment with Indonesia's National Action Plan on Marine Debris, the Indonesian National Waste Management Policy and Strategy (Jakstranas), and other efforts to achieve a 70% reduction in the country's marine plastic leakage by 2025.

National Action Roadmap

The Indonesia Multistakeholder National Action Roadmap compares two outcomes: 'business as usual' versus a Systemic Change Scenario that radically transforms plastic pollution and waste management in Indonesia.

Finance Roadmap

Read more about how the actions the Indonesia NPAP Financing Task Force will take to achieve the Action Plan goals. In particular, the Finance Roadmap outlines recommendations on mobilizing financing to meet the marine plastic waste reduction target: around $18 billion in capital investments between 2017 and 2040 and an estimated $1 billion per year increase in operational financing for solid waste management systems by 2040. 

Plastic Pollution and Biodiversity in Indonesia: Pathways for Environmental and Economic Resilience

This assessment identifies where plastic pollution poses the greatest risks to Indonesia’s biodiversity, examines the systemic drivers behind the challenge, and sets out practical, evidence-based recommendations to reduce plastic pollution, halt biodiversity loss and strengthen environmental and economic resilience through circular economy solutions.

Indonesian Plastics Sector Social Context Assessment Report

Learn more about how how gender and other identity factors affect a person or communities’ relationship to plastic pollution and the plastics value chain. This social context assessment will help to better understand the inequality and lack of inclusion faced by various groups and how they in turn affect pollution and the value chain.

Knowledge

Released in April 2020, Radically Reducing Plastic Pollution in Indonesia: A Multistakeholder Action Plan presents five key interventions needed for Indonesia to deliver on its goal of reducing marine plastic leakage by 70% by 2025, as well as achieving near-zero plastic pollution by 2040 through transitioning to a circular economy for plastics.

Community

The Indonesia NPAP serves as an inclusive and impartial platform for collaboration, bringing together more than 150 member organizations across national and local government, the business and investment community, and civil society. The NPAP is chaired by Sri Indrastuti Hadiputranto, CEO of the United in Diversity Foundation.
