Indonesian Waste Platform network has been built since 2010, was established in October 2015 as a non-for-profit organisation supporting advancing and accelerating solutions on the global climate & waste crisis within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals. Solving the waste problems in Indonesia is complex and the responsibility of all individuals and institutions. A collective approach, stakeholder engagement, continuous communication and agenda synergy are needed to achieve the goal of reducing 70% of Marine Plastic Waste in Indonesia by 2040.
In 2015 IWP filled the existing gap on connecting stakeholders from all sectors and bridging top-down strategies to bottom-up by opening a neutral communication platform in an open Facebook forum. Stakeholders are invited to join this meeting point to share updates about their efforts, scientific reports, strengthen their own networks and peer-to-peer capacity building. IWP promotes co-ownership and Collective Impact Approach. Indonesian Waste Platform is co-founding member of the International Waste Platform (2018)
Our scope of work
Solid waste management in rural and remote regions
Reduction of single-use plastics and collection We are specialised in establishing waste and litter collection systems in rural and remote regions, in collaboration with communities which do not have such services in place. Our work includes reduction of single-use plastics and advancing refilling and reusables systems and increasing recycling rates. We operate a sorting center in Labuan Bajo, where we sort, compress and bale recyclables. We collaborate closely with recyclers on Java, who process our collected materials. We work with fishermen on reduction of single-use plastic in subsistence fisheries
Reduction of the negative impact of waste and litter on health and the climate We raise awareness about Waste & vector-borne diseases and the open burning of waste
