        "summary": "House of Representatives Speaker Puan Maharani has urged the expansion of DKI Jakarta's waste sorting and processing policy from the source into a national movement to protect public health and the environment. She emphasised that the core issue in national waste management is not just increasing volume but the societal habit of viewing waste as disposed of after collection, which leads to health risks, pollution, flooding, and reduced quality of life. Puan called for regulatory support, including education, infrastructure, and proper management, aligning the initiative with UN Sustainable Development Goals for sustainable cities, responsible consumption, and marine ecosystems.",
        "content": "<p>House of Representatives Speaker Puan Maharani welcomes and\nencourages the expansion of the Waste Sorting and Processing Movement\nfrom the source policy implemented by the DKI Jakarta Provincial\nGovernment to the national level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe culture of sorting waste must become a national movement to\nprotect public health and the future of our cities or environment,\u201d said\nPuan Maharani in a press release on Sunday (10\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>This policy is part of the urgent cultural shift in urban living that\nsociety must undertake.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, waste in big cities is no longer merely an environmental\ncleanliness issue, but one concerning the quality of life for the\npublic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is at stake today is the quality of public health, the quality\nof living spaces for the younger generation, as well as the ability of\nIndonesia\u2019s major cities to withstand urbanisation pressures and\nlong-term environmental crises,\u201d added Puan.<\/p>\n<p>Puan also assessed the biggest problem in national waste\nmanagement.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, the biggest problem is not solely the continuously\nincreasing volume of waste, but the habit of seeing waste as something\nthat \u201cdisappears\u201d after being collected from homes.<\/p>\n<p>However, she said, waste that is not managed properly ultimately\nreturns as a health issue, pollution, flooding, and a decline in public\nquality of life.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, she supports local government initiatives that begin to\nencourage direct public involvement in the waste management process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope the habit of sorting waste can spread to other regions and\neventually become a national policy as done in advanced countries,\u201d said\nPuan.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, support and real commitment from regulators are\nneeded. The state must ensure that the public receives an easy system,\nongoing education, and certainty that sorted waste is truly managed well\nand appropriately.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Puan stated that the waste sorting policy aligns with\nthe targets in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Sustainable\nDevelopment Goals, which is a global agenda, particularly SDG 11\n(Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption\nand Production), and SDG 14 (Life Below Water).<\/p>",
