        "summary": "Indonesia's Higher Education Minister Brian Yuliarto and Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq have agreed to advance waste management through a science- and technology-based approach, building on a macro framework to implement the reduce, reuse, recycle (3R) strategy using existing databases. Universities will play a key role in field surveys, mapping, and technical studies to optimise over 100 temporary waste processing sites and strengthen upstream interventions. This collaboration aims to address urban waste dominated by organic household content, reducing pressure on final disposal sites and enhancing overall system efficiency through technological and behavioural changes.",

After assessing\nfield conditions, we will use the existing reduce, reuse, recycle (3R)\ndatabase to move directly into the implementation stage,\u201d Yuliarto\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that a science- and technology-based approach is a key\nfoundation for developing effective and sustainable waste management\nsolutions.<\/p>\n<p>According to Yuliarto, the policy framework that has been prepared is\nnow being aligned with the Environment Ministry to better reflect\non-the-ground conditions.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, he said the ministry is encouraging the optimization\nof more than one hundred 3R temporary waste processing sites as part of\nefforts to strengthen upstream waste management.<\/p>\n<p>Universities will be actively involved in field surveys, mapping, and\ntechnical studies, he added.<\/p>\n<p>At the same meeting, Nurofiq welcomed the support to strengthen the\nscientific basis of waste management policies, saying collaboration with\nacademia is key to ensuring effective implementation.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the government is also working to improve the waste\nmanagement ecosystem by prioritizing upstream interventions through the\nuse of technology and changes in public behavior.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis approach is important as urban waste is still dominated by\nhousehold waste with a high organic content, making it necessary to\nreduce pressure on final disposal sites (TPA) while improving the\noverall efficiency of the waste management system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Waste management rate reaches 26 percent, up from 2024:\nMinister<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia taps universities, industries for\nwaste-to-energy push<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Sean, Kenzu<\/p>",
