        "summary": "Central Java Governor Ahmad Luthfi signed an MoU with Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq to establish regional waste management systems in the Pekalongan Raya and Tegal Raya agglomerations, aiming to reduce national waste by 3,000 tonnes per day and address the province's 17,300 tonnes daily production. This initiative builds on Central Java's above-average waste handling rate of 30% and includes developing refuse-derived fuel in several districts, alongside strategic measures like village-level task forces, a zero-waste roadmap by 2029, and the Jawa Tengah ASRI movement for cleaner environments. The agreement, endorsed by seven local leaders, underscores collaborative efforts from upstream sorting to downstream processing to achieve sustainable waste reduction.",
        "content": "<p>The commitment was realised through the signing of an MoU with\nEnvironment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq at the Ministry of Environment\noffice in Kuningan, Jakarta, on Monday (13\/4).<\/p>\n<p>The Pekalongan Raya agglomeration covers Pekalongan City, Pekalongan\nRegency, Pemalang Regency, and Batang Regency, with the waste processing\ncentre in Pekalongan City. Meanwhile, the Tegal Raya agglomeration\nincludes Tegal City, Tegal Regency, and Brebes Regency, with the waste\nprocessing centre in Tegal Regency.<\/p>\n<p>Hanif stated that this step directly contributes to the national\nwaste reduction target. \u201cThis management is hoped to contribute directly\nto reducing national waste by 3,000 tonnes per day,\u201d said Hanif in a\nwritten statement on Monday (13\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>This figure is also expected to curb Central Java\u2019s total waste\nproduction, which currently stands at 17,300 tonnes per day. Hanif also\npraised Luthfi for his prompt handling of waste issues in the region.\nWaste management in Central Java has already reached 30%, above the\nnational average of 26%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you for the enthusiasm and hard work of the Governor, who has\nquickly addressed the dynamics in Central Java. Especially supported by\nthe most proactive Head of Service in Indonesia,\u201d Hanif remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Luthfi emphasised that the signing must be promptly followed by\non-the-ground execution. He noted that the Central Java Provincial\nGovernment is also developing refuse-derived fuel (RDF) in several\nareas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to agglomerated waste management, the Central Java\nProvincial Government is beginning to develop refuse-derived fuel in\nseveral regions, including Magelang, Banyumas, Cilacap, and others,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>\n<p>Several other strategic steps have been prepared, from forming Waste\nTask Forces down to the village and sub-district levels, preparing a\nwaste processing roadmap to support the zero-waste programme by 2029,\nissuing a Governor\u2019s Circular on Waste Management Acceleration, to\nlaunching the Jawa Tengah ASRI Movement (Safe, Healthy, Clean,\nBeautiful).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo less important is how to sort and select waste. That means\ncollaboration is needed at both upstream and downstream levels so that\nthis can be resolved together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For information, the seven regional heads who also signed the\nagreement are Pekalongan Mayor Achmad Afzan Arslan Djunaid, Acting\nRegent of Pekalongan Sukirman, Pemalang Regent Anom Widiyantoro.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Batang Regent M Faiz Kurniawan, Tegal Mayor Dedy Yon\nSupriyono, Tegal Regent Ischak Maulana Rohman, and Brebes Regent\nParamitha Widya Kusuma.<\/p>",
