Plastic Waste In Indonesia's Oceans
Environmental activists sampled plastic waste on Palu Bay Beach, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia on June 5, 2022. The sampling is to ensure the level of pollution of plastic waste, especially plastic packaging in the region, to be reported to the government in order to take countermeasures. Indonesia is the second largest producer of marine plastic waste in the world after China with a waste volume of 3.8 million tons per year. This figure is increasing in line with population growth and urbanization that occurs. The Government of Indonesia has developed an Action Plan to Reduce Plastic Waste in the Ocean and targets to reduce the volume of plastic waste in the ocean by 30 percent for plastic packaging waste by 2028 and 70 percent for plastic waste in the ocean as a whole by 2024.
