Seoul hosted the Asia Waste Methane Convening 2025 on September
Indonesia continues to strive to reduce plastic waste generation. One of the efforts that continues is banning single use plastics regulation from local governments. Currently, more than 110 regions have regulations banning single-use plastics, such as plastic bags, straws and plastic foam containers.
Pay for Plastic Bag regulation trial was implemented in commemorating National Waste Awareness Day 21 February 2016 in response to the online petition #pay4plastics. This regulation trial aimed to reduce the use of single-use plastic bags in modern stores and succeeded in reducing the use of plastic bags nationally by an average of 55%.
The Plastic Free Market Program was launched in 2019 with the aim of broadening the scope of efforts to reduce single-use plastic. This program is carried out in several markets in Jakarta, Bandung, Bogor, Banjarmasin, Surabaya, and Bali
The Reuse Movement is a program initiated by Plasticdiet Indonesia to build a reuse ecosystem as a solution to reduce single-use plastic. Not only preventing plastic waste generation, Plasticdiet Indonesia also encourages reuse systems as systems that support climate change mitigation.
Indonesia Reuse Association (AGUNI), formerly known as the Reuse Special Interest Group, is an organization committed to establishing a nationwide holistic reuse system. AGUNI’s mission is to advance reuse solutions to tackle the social impacts of plastic and single-use packaging pollution by developing reuse standards collaboratively, strengthening the capacity of reuse actors and businesses, building partnerships, and engaging in national and global movements aligned with its vision.
Asia Reuse Consortium is a group of members of civil society organizations, businesses and local governments from Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, and India whose aim is to encourage the development of reuse ecosystems as a solution to tackle plastic pollution in Asia.
Plasticdiet Indonesia, YPBB Bandung, and PPLH Bali develop a credible and science-based method for monitoring methane performance at landfill (TPA) through the MERIT (Methane Emissions Reduction Initiatives for Transparency) Project. This project aims to generate scientific evidence for methane emission prevention and to facilitate informed policy decision-making in waste management in Indonesia.
Plasticdiet Indonesia is a non-profit organization that is driving systemic change to end single-use plastics, expand reuse systems in Indonesia, and advocate for methane emission reduction in the waste sector. Since 2013, Plasticdiet Indonesia has led national advocacy supporting over 100 cities in implementing single use plastic bans and create inclusive solutions such as Plastic-Free Markets and the Reuse Movement. Its work tackles the climate and pollution crises at the source by promoting on-site organic waste management—preventing waste generation, contamination, and mismanagement.. Our mission is to stop plastic pollution and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by transforming how waste is produced, consumed, and managed, while driving cultural and structural change—where reuse becomes the norm, waste is prevented at source, and local communities are empowered to lead a just transition to a cleaner, healthier future.
