Organized through cooperation between BRIN and Indonesia’s Ministry of Manpower, the program not only provides practi

Probolinggo City has been selected as one of five pilot regions for the Promoting a Circular Economy in Indonesia (InCircular) project, a technical cooperation initiative between Indonesia’s Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas) and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany, implemented in collaboration with GIZ Indonesia and ASEAN. Together with Gresik Regency, Malang City, Malang Regency, and Sidoarjo Regency, Probolinggo will develop circular economy

PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia Tbk, a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), is promoting the development of low-carbon materials and sustainable construction solutions to support the transformation of Indonesia’s construction sector toward the Net Zero Emissions (NZE) 2060 target. Through the Indonesia Green Building Festival 2026, organized in collaboration with the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI), the company emphasized the importance of collaboration am

Danone Indonesia supports the mandatory, inclusive, and comprehensive implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) across all industry categories to strengthen post-consumer waste management and expand Indonesia’s circular economy market. Through the Indonesia Packaging Recovery Organization (IPRO), Danone has participated in the development of EPR regulations together with the Ministry of Environment and has advocated for the involvement of local governments and

Indonesia has significant potential for the development of wind power plants (PLTB), although investment realization continues to face challenges related to economic viability, regulatory frameworks, and project readiness. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) noted that no new investment in wind power projects has been recorded in approximately four years, despite the 2025–2034 Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL) targeting an additional 7.2 GW of wind powe

The integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is becoming increasingly economically competitive and is emerging as an alternative for reducing industrial operating costs in Indonesia. SUN Energy stated that the combination of solar PV and battery storage as a base-load power source in the mining sector has demonstrated lower costs compared with diesel generators, particularly amid rising diesel prices and supply constraints. Tec

The Indonesian government is accelerating the development of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) facilities as one of the key instruments for achieving its waste management target of 63.41% by 2026 and 100% by 2029, particularly in metropolitan and major cities facing high levels of waste generation, limited land availability, overcapacity at final disposal sites (TPA), and continued open-dumping practices. Under Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2025, WtE facilities may be developed in r

The Palembang Waste-to-Energy (WtE) facility in South Sumatra began operations on September 1 as a pilot project and part of Indonesia’s National Strategic Projects (PSN), aimed at developing a more modern and sustainable waste management system. The facility is projected to receive approximately 960 tons of waste per day from more than 400 temporary waste collection sites (TPS), approaching its maximum processing capacity of 1,000 tons per day. Compared with Palembang’s tota

The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), through its Research Center for Biomass and Bioproducts (PRBB), has developed Eco Hex Brick, a construction material made from plastic waste and designed as as semi-permeable wave barrier to mitigate coastal erosion while supporting coastal ecosystem rehabilitation. The material utilizes low-value plastic waste, such as multilayer and mixed plastics, which is shredded, melted, mixed with fine sand aggregate, and then molded
