        "summary": "Indonesia's Environmental Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq conducted a waste management inspection at Kertonegoro Terminal in Ngawi, East Java, as part of the Low-Waste Eid Exodus campaign for Lebaran 2026. The minister found that whilst the terminal has implemented waste sorting, efforts remain insufficient, and most terminals across Java lack mandatory environmental documentation. The ministry plans to provide direct support to help terminals and stations obtain necessary environmental permits.",

The\nactivity aimed to assess the implementation of waste management,\nparticularly the separation of organic and inorganic waste to enable\nrecycling and reuse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur monitoring today shows that Ngawi Terminal is indeed conducting\nwaste processing, but it still needs further improvement as it is not\nyet optimal,\u201d said Minister Hanif Faisol in Ngawi on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the need to strengthen waste management, Kertonegoro Terminal\nNgawi also lacks the environmental documentation that is mandatory for\nbusinesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis environmental documentation issue is not only in Ngawi. I\nbelieve most terminals and stations across Java still lack these\ndocuments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will provide direct support from the Environmental Ministry\nalongside relevant provincial agencies so that all stations and\nterminals without documentation can promptly complete their\nrequirements,\u201d said Hanif.<\/p>\n<p>During his visit to Ngawi Terminal, the Environmental Minister also\ndistributed reusable tumblers to visitors. These water containers are\nintended to reduce waste production, particularly from disposable\nplastic water bottles, which have been a significant source of\nwaste.<\/p>\n<p>The Environmental Minister has been actively promoting the Low-Waste\nEid Exodus campaign ahead of the 2026 Lebaran exodus by monitoring\ncritical points along the Trans-Java Toll Road and transport facilities\nsuch as terminals and stations. The programme aims to reduce the waste\nburden at rest areas, terminals, stations, and tourist destinations,\nwhich are predicted to generate increased waste during the Eid holiday\ntransport season.<\/p>",
