        "summary": "The Banyumas Regency Environmental Agency (DLH) is expanding its Environmentally and Educationally Based Integrated Waste Processing Site (TPST BLE) in Wlahar Wetan Village to address the rising daily waste volume, which has surged to 160 tons of organics and 60 tons of RDF, far exceeding the site's current 40-ton capacity. This initiative, supported by community self-help groups (KSM) handling 500 tons of household waste daily, includes plans for a 1.5-hectare expansion tendered through the Ministry of Public Works, aiming for completion by 2026, alongside strengthening village waste banks and attracting investments like a Malaysian partnership for plastic waste processing. The development emphasises not only physical infrastructure but also institutional capacity, human resources, operational standards, and sustainable financing to optimise waste management across the regency's 331 villages and sub-districts.",
        "content": "<p>Purwokerto (ANTARA) - The Banyumas Regency Environmental Agency (DLH)\nin Central Java is developing an Environmentally and Educationally Based\nIntegrated Waste Processing Site (TPST BLE) in Wlahar Wetan Village to\nreduce the waste processing burden amid increasing daily waste\ngeneration. Head of the Banyumas Regency DLH, Widodo Sugiri, stated in\nPurwokerto on Tuesday that the current operating capacity of TPST BLE is\ndesigned to process only around 40 tons of waste per day, while the\nincoming waste volume continues to increase significantly. \u201cNow, the\nincoming waste can reach 160 tons per day for organics that have been\nsorted and around 60 tons of RDF material. This is far above the initial\ndesign capacity,\u201d he said. According to him, this increase in waste\nvolume is inseparable from the development of Community Self-Help Groups\n(KSM) managing waste at the village level. Currently, there are around\n70 KSMs in Banyumas, with 40-50 of them already having processing\ninfrastructure. Overall, management by KSMs can handle around 500 tons\nof household waste per day from the total waste generation in Banyumas,\nwhich reaches 700-800 tons per day. Of that amount, around 30 percent is\nprocessed into refuse-derived fuel (RDF) or about 150 tons per day, as\nwell as around 40 tons of organic waste. Therefore, DLH Banyumas plans\nto expand and increase the capacity of TPST BLE with an area estimated\nto be almost the same as the existing facility, around 1.5 hectares.\nThis development is currently in the tender process by the Ministry of\nPublic Works through the provincial-level work unit, with hopes that\nconstruction can start and be completed in 2026. \u201cWe are not targeting\ntoo high, but the important thing is that there is an improvement in\nservices and the pressure on TPST can be reduced,\u201d Sugiri said. In\naddition to strengthening TPST BLE, he said, DLH Banyumas is also\npromoting the strengthening of village-level waste banks to handle\nvarious types of waste, including low-value items like plastic bags and\nother household waste. Currently, the number of active waste banks is\nstill around 40 units, so in the future, it is targeted to be\nestablished in all villages and sub-districts, numbering 331 areas,\nconsisting of 301 villages and 30 sub-districts. According to him, the\nexistence of waste banks will be synergised with KSMs so that waste\nmanagement becomes more optimal and sustainable, including in collecting\nused cooking oil, which has so far been mostly managed by waste banks.\nOn the other hand, the Banyumas Regency Government is also opening\nopportunities for investment in waste processing, including plans for\ncooperation with investors from Malaysia for processing plastic ore from\nplastic waste. He assessed that the development of TPST BLE does not\nonly focus on physical construction but also on strengthening\ninstitutions, readiness of human resources, preparation of standard\noperating procedures (SOP), and support for operational financing.<\/p>",
