Nabire (ANTARA) - The Task Force for Accelerating the Free Nutritious\nMeals (MBG) in Nabire Regency, Central Papua, is intensifying\nsupervision of waste management at the Nutrition Fulfilment Service\nUnits (SPPG) to prevent environmental pollution.<\/p>\n
Head of the Nabire Environment Agency (DLH) Arfan Natan Palumpun, in\nNabire on Friday, stated that every business actor, including SPPG\nkitchen managers, is required to have an environmental permit and be\nresponsible for managing the waste they produce.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn accordance with Law No.\u00a018 of 2008, every business actor,\nincluding SPPG kitchens, must have an environmental permit and be\nresponsible for managing their waste,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He explained that the DLH, as part of the MBG Task Force, has found\nseveral violations in the field, particularly related to wastewater\ntreatment installations (IPAL) that do not meet standards.<\/p>\n
According to him, although environmental permit applications have\nbeen processed online through the OSS system and Amdal Net, the\nimplementation in the field still does not align with the commitments\noutlined in the permit documents.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the field, IPALs that do not meet standards are still found, even\nsome that are just for show and not functioning,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In addition, he said, there are practices of disposing of oil and fat\nwaste directly into drainage channels, which have the potential to\npollute the environment around the SPPG kitchens.<\/p>\n
\u201cSPPG must not take environmental management lightly because it\nconcerns public health and the sustainability of the MBG Programme,\u201d he\nstated.<\/p>\n
Arfan emphasised that the Nabire MBG Task Force will not tolerate\nviolations that could lead to environmental pollution.<\/p>\n
He added that the local government has also coordinated with the\nNational Nutrition Agency (BGN) to ensure that every operating SPPG\nkitchen must meet waste management standards, including the presence of\nIPAL.<\/p>\n
\u201cSPPG that do not meet the requirements will not be permitted to\noperate,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n
As a form of enforcement, the Nabire MBG Task Force has recommended\nthe temporary closure of several SPPG kitchens that do not meet IPAL\nstandards.<\/p>\n
As a result, five SPPG in Nabire have been temporarily closed by the\nBGN since 31 March 2026, namely SPPG 001 Siriwini, SPPG Nabire Nabarua\nBukit Cenderawasih, SPPG 02 Kalisusu, SPPG 01 Bumi Wonorejo, and SPPG\nGerbang Sadu.<\/p>\n
He hopes this step will encourage improved compliance among SPPG\nmanagers while maintaining environmental quality and food safety in the\nimplementation of the MBG Programme in the area.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/nabire-mbg-task-force-intensifies-supervision-of-sppg-kitchen-waste-1775217045", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
