Plastic Waste In Indonesia

Indonesian Army soldiers pick up plastic waste scattered in the Talise Beach area, Palu, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia on July 23, 2021. The beach cleaning action led by the 1991 Military Academy alumni is a form of active participation of the military in maintaining cleanliness and the environment, especially plastic waste in public areas. Indonesia is the second largest producer of plastic waste in the world after China. The National Plastic Action Partnership (NPAP) noted that there are around 4.8 million tons of plastic waste per year in Indonesia that are not managed properly, such as being burned in open spaces (48 percent), not properly managed in official landfills (13 percent). and the rest pollutes waterways and the sea (9 percent). This figure is predicted to increase considering that the amount of plastic waste production in Indonesia shows an increasing trend of 5 percent every year. (Photo by Basri Marzuki/NurPhoto)
