Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2014 The Jakarta Provincial Government and Bekasi City\nGovernment have agreed to extend their cooperation in managing the\nBantargebang Integrated Waste Processing Site (TPST) for the next five\nyears.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must manage the waste problem together. Hopefully, this\ncooperation will have a positive impact on both regions, including over\nthe next five years,\u201d Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung said at City Hall\non Monday.<\/p>\n
Pramono said the cooperation covers environmental management, health,\neducation and social affairs, as well as the construction of public\nfacilities and infrastructure, including roads, drainage channels and\ndisaster-management facilities.<\/p>\n
Implementation will be reinforced through Key Performance Indicators\n(KPIs), which will set out priority programmes and provide a basis for\njoint monitoring and evaluation.<\/p>\n
Jakarta currently generates more than 9,000 tonnes of waste a day,\nPramono said.<\/p>\n
To reduce its dependence on Bantargebang, the Jakarta Provincial\nGovernment is changing its waste-management approach by strengthening\nsorting and processing at source.<\/p>\n
The initiative is supported by Governor\u2019s Instruction No.\u00a05 of 2026\non the movement to sort and process waste at source.<\/p>\n
Alongside sorting, the Jakarta Provincial Government is developing\nfacilities to turn waste into refuse-derived fuel (RDF) in Rorotan and\nBantargebang, and plans to build facilities that will convert waste into\nelectricity.<\/p>\n
Pramono acknowledged, however, that dealing with the long-standing\nwaste piles at Bantargebang remained a challenge requiring a joint\nsolution.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf everything goes smoothly, we hope the waste problem can be\nhandled better. The challenge we must consider together is the waste\nthat has accumulated at Bantargebang for a long time,\u201d Pramono said.<\/p>\n
Under the renewed agreement, the two local governments have also set\nout a mechanism for compensation related to the operation of the\nBantargebang site.<\/p>\n
The 2027 compensation calculation will take into account waste\nvolumes, the waste levy rate, conversion factors and adjustments agreed\nby both parties.<\/p>\n
The compensation amount for 2028\u20132031 will be determined by January\n2027 at the latest.<\/p>\n
The compensation funds will be prioritised in Jakarta\u2019s current-year\nregional budget for environmental control, mitigation and restoration,\nas well as addressing social impacts arising from the operation of the\nBantargebang site.<\/p>\n
Bekasi Mayor Tri Adhianto Tjahyono said he hoped Jakarta and Bekasi\ncould accelerate efforts to address the old waste piles by jointly\nassessing appropriate technologies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe waste problem is a shared issue and is the responsibility of\neach of us. We therefore hope both regions can conduct a joint study to\nidentify the right technology so that the accumulated waste can be dealt\nwith more quickly,\u201d Tri said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jakarta-and-bekasi-extend-bantargebang-waste-processing-site-agreement-1793004934", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
