Perumda Pasar dan Pangan Mangu Giri Sedana (MGS) is examining an\nindependent waste management programme at nine markets under its\nadministration. This initiative supports the Badung Regency Government\u2019s\nprogramme to accelerate waste management at source and limit disposal to\nSuwung Landfill.<\/p>\n
The Chief Executive of Perumda Pasar dan Pangan MGS, Kompiang Gede\nPasek Wedha, stated that waste generated by the markets will be\nprocessed directly at the market locations. The processed waste is\nplanned to be utilised as compost.<\/p>\n
\u201cMarket waste will be processed on-site so that we can hopefully\nproduce compost. The plan is to mix the processed waste with animal\nmanure at Pasar Beringkit to create quality fertiliser,\u201d said Chief\nExecutive Kompiang Gede Pasek Wedha on Saturday (14 March 2026).<\/p>\n
The programme is targeted to commence in April 2026 with composter\nmachines being installed at several markets. Pasar Kuta 2 has been\nselected as a pilot project as it is located in a tourism area and\ngenerates a considerable daily waste volume.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe target is to start next month, and Pasar Kuta 2 will serve as\nthe pilot because it produces nearly 2 tonnes per day. We are working to\ncomplete the upstream systems, so we will be installing composter\nmachines there,\u201d said Kompiang.<\/p>\n
The nine markets managed by Perumda MGS include Pasar Petang, Pasar\nDesa Sembung, Pasar Tenten Taman Ayun Mengwi, Pasar Hewan Beringkit,\nPasar Umum Beringkit, Pasar Desa Kapal, Pasar Kuta 1, Pasar Kuta 2, and\nPasar Nusa Dua.<\/p>\n
Perumda MGS management also disputed claims that traders were being\nasked to take their waste home. The company has instead issued a Decree\n(SK) requiring traders to separate organic and inorganic waste at\ndesignated facilities.<\/p>\n
Whilst awaiting the full implementation of the independent processing\nsystem, waste collection continues through partnerships with third\nparties or foundations. However, the operational costs of such\ntransportation are considered a significant burden on the company\u2019s\nfinances, reaching tens of millions of rupiah monthly.<\/p>\n
\u201cTransportation costs for Pasar Kuta 1 and Kuta 2 alone total\napproximately IDR 30 million per month, so this is what we aim to save\nonce the independent processing programme is operational. Until we begin\nprocessing waste ourselves, we continue to require traders to separate\nwaste and it remains transported by our waste management partners,\u201d\nconcluded Kompiang.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/perumda-to-operate-independent-waste-management-at-nine-markets-in-badung-from-next-month-1773492829", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
