        "summary": "Danantara Investment Management has launched a new subsidiary, PT Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara, to spearhead waste-to-energy (WtE) projects aimed at converting household and industrial waste into electricity, integrating the entire waste management chain from collection to processing. This initiative addresses Indonesia's significant waste challenge, where World Bank data indicates that 50% of rubbish ends up unmanaged in streets and rivers, offering a strategic solution to reduce environmental pollution and alleviate local government budgets strained by landfill costs. By promoting efficient waste transportation and processing, the model could encourage better household disposal practices and support sustainable energy production.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 Danantara Investment Management has officially established\na new subsidiary named PT Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara, which will focus\non managing waste-to-energy (WtE) projects to convert waste into\nelectricity. The formation of the company was announced during a media\ndiscussion at Wisma Danantara on Thursday (9\/4\/2026). Director of\nInvestment at Danantara Investment Management, Fadli Rahman, explained\nthat the company will be the main driver in implementing WtE projects\nunder Danantara\u2019s auspices. \u201cPT Daya Energi Bersih Nusantara is a\ncompany newly formed by Danantara Investment Management on 1 April 2026,\nwith a focus on executing the WtE programme,\u201d Fadli stated. He added\nthat Danantara will not only act as a shareholder but also as an\noperator in waste-to-electricity processing projects. According to him,\nWtE development must be integrated with a comprehensive waste management\nsystem. \u201cOne thing that must be focused on is WtE, but as I mentioned\nearlier, WtE is a catalyst for integrated waste management,\u201d he said.\nThe management covers the entire process chain, from waste generated at\nthe household level, transportation, to processing at integrated\nfacilities. In the future, the system is also planned to include\nindustrial waste and hazardous waste. Meanwhile, Managing Director of\nStakeholder Management and Communications at Danantara, Rohan Hafas,\nhighlighted that waste issues in Indonesia remain a major challenge. He\ncited World Bank data showing that around 50% of waste in Indonesia is\nnot properly handled and ends up in open environments such as streets\nand rivers. \u201cWaste in Indonesia, 50% of it\u2014this is from the World Bank,\nno Indonesian involvement at all\u201450% of waste in Indonesia ends up on\nstreets and in rivers (streams), based on the World Bank survey,\u201d Rohan\nsaid. According to him, the waste-to-energy concept can be a strategic\nsolution to reduce these problems, as waste is not just piled up but\ndirectly processed into electricity. He also believes the system can\nencourage more organised waste transportation mechanisms from the\nhousehold level. \u201cThe waste-to-energy concept so that people dispose of\nwaste in the right place, meaning it will definitely be collected, so\ncollection from homes is free. It starts from there, done by local\ngovernments,\u201d he explained. In addition, this model is seen as capable\nof reducing the burden on local government budgets, particularly in\nproviding landfill sites, which have so far required substantial\ncosts.<\/p>",
