        "summary": "Indonesia's Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq has urged the strengthening of waste sorting at the source to ensure the success of the Waste-to-Electricity (PSEL) project in Jambi City, highlighting the need to address the daily 600-tonne waste volume and end open dumping by 2026. During his visit to the Talang Gulo landfill, accompanied by the Jambi Mayor and Governor, Hanif praised the site's management as among the best in Indonesia but stressed that effective upstream sorting is crucial for turning waste into an economic resource. Local authorities, through initiatives like the Kampung Bahagia programme, are focusing on community-based household waste management and imposing strict sanctions on illegal dumping to centralise processing at the landfill.",
        "content": "<p>Jambi City (ANTARA) - Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq has\nemphasised waste sorting from the source to support the success of the\nWaste-to-Electricity Processing (PSEL) project in Jambi City.<\/p>\n<p>Hanif conveyed this during a working visit to the Talang Gulo\nlandfill in Kota Baru sub-district, Jambi City, on Saturday, accompanied\nby Jambi Mayor Maulana and Jambi Governor Al Haris.<\/p>\n<p>Hanif directly inspected various waste management infrastructures at\nthe Talang Gulo landfill and expressed appreciation, deeming the\nmanagement as one of the best in Indonesia in terms of design and\noperations.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, this condition serves as a strong foundation for\nthe Jambi City Government in tackling waste issues, but the main\nchallenge remains in upstream management, particularly in sorting waste\nfrom the source.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWaste management fundamentally depends on the sorting process; if\ndone well, waste can have economic value, but if not sorted properly, it\nwill cause problems from upstream to downstream,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the upstream management system needs to be\nstrengthened immediately to handle waste issues comprehensively, with a\ndaily waste volume of around 600 tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ask local governments to immediately strengthen upstream waste\nmanagement to end open dumping practices by 2026, as the construction\nand operation of PSEL is estimated to take about three years,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Jambi Mayor Maulana stated that the Jambi City Government,\nthrough the Kampung Bahagia programme, is focusing on strengthening\nupstream waste management based on households by involving the community\ndown to the neighbourhood level (RT), while targeting the regulation of\nillegal waste dumping to implement strict sanctions in accordance with\nregional regulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe target no more dumping, burning, or disposal of waste into rivers\nby ensuring all waste is managed clearly, while promoting collective\nawareness through the Kampung Bahagia programme that waste is a shared\nresponsibility and centralising management at the Talang Gulo landfill\nas a regional public service agency (BLUD),\u201d said Maulana.<\/p>\n<p>Jambi Governor Al Haris welcomed the visit of the Environment\nMinister and affirmed that the Jambi Provincial Government is ready to\nsupport the acceleration of waste problem handling, including plans to\nbuild PSEL or Waste-to-Energy facilities in the Talang Gulo area.<\/p>",
