        "summary": "The Masaro waste processing machine in Senteluk Village, West Lombok, valued at Rp 10 billion, has malfunctioned again shortly after repairs, prompting complaints from the West Lombok Environmental Agency (DLH) to the supplier from Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). The issue stems from incomplete waste sorting, allowing materials like stones and bricks to damage the incinerator's blower, leading to safety risks such as unfiltered black smoke. This recurring problem has resulted in subpar performance, processing only a fraction of its intended 20 tonnes per day, exacerbating waste accumulation and highlighting challenges in Indonesia's waste management infrastructure.",
        "content": "<p>The Masaro Zero Waste Management waste processing machine in Senteluk\nVillage, Batu Layar Subdistrict, West Lombok, has broken down again.\nThis comes despite the machine having been repaired following its\nprevious malfunction on Saturday (7\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The Head of the West Lombok Environmental Agency (DLH), M. Busyairi,\nhas lodged a complaint with the supplier regarding the damage. \u201cWe\ncomplained to the supplier\u2019s side, both via WhatsApp and by sending them\na letter,\u201d he stated on Wednesday (1\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Busyairi explained that the damage to the Rp 10 billion machine is\nidentical to the previous incident, affecting the incinerator\u2019s blower\ncomponent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActually, the damage isn\u2019t severe, but the blower\u2019s weld has come\nloose. If it\u2019s loose, it\u2019s dangerous because the black smoke doesn\u2019t\npass through the filter,\u201d he clarified.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, it needs to be rewelded, and for that, we need their\ntechnician (from the supplier). However, today we requested that for\nevery disruption, our technicians handle it, with their technicians only\nproviding guidance,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>According to Busyairi, the damage was caused by waste entering the\nMasaro machine that wasn\u2019t perfectly sorted. Materials such as stones\nand bricks are often found entering the processing machine, causing it\nto break.<\/p>\n<p>Busyairi described his agency as a victim of the Masaro supplier from\nInstitut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), as the machine\u2019s performance in\nprocessing waste is not optimal and it frequently experiences\nbreakdowns.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, according to Busyairi, the processing machine was initially\nplanned to handle unsorted waste with a capacity of 20 tonnes per day,\nbut in reality, it only processes a few tonnes per day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, actually, we expected this new machine to work normally. The\nbudget is so substantial. If problems keep occurring, then we\u2019re also\nvictims, meaning waste piles up every day,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>",
