        "summary": "Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has urged innovation to find plastic alternatives amid rising prices, viewing the situation as a chance to reduce plastic use and revive traditional packaging methods like banana leaves. He noted that while price controls fall under central government authority, the price hike\u2014from Rp10,000 to Rp15,000 for plastic bags\u2014stems from global geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, affecting imported raw materials. The central government is preparing strategic measures to address these impacts on the domestic plastics industry and other sectors.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung stated that the\nrising price of plastic should serve as an opportunity for society and\nthe government to innovate in finding substitutes for plastic as\npackaging. \u201cWe must innovate because the need for plastic must gradually\nbe reduced. There must be a substitute,\u201d said Pram in Jakarta on Sunday.\nPramono explained that the determination of prices and efforts to handle\nthe increase in plastic prices are not under the authority of the DKI\nJakarta Provincial Government, but rather the central government.\nHowever, according to him, besides innovating, the rise in plastic\nprices can also be an opportunity for all parties to return to using\ntraditional wrapping methods. \u201cIf the situation remains like this, it\nwill certainly become a burden. Therefore, sometimes we have to go back\nto traditional methods using wrapping, banana leaves, and so on,\u201d he\nsaid. The price of plastic bags has risen from Rp10,000 to Rp15,000 per\npack, while other types have increased from Rp20,000 to Rp25,000 per\npack. The central government is preparing several strategic steps to\nrespond to the increase in plastic raw material prices and various other\ncommodities affected by global geopolitical dynamics, particularly the\nconflict in the Middle East region. According to him, the government\nrealises that global turbulence, including rising energy prices,\ndirectly impacts the domestic industry sector, one of which is the\nplastics industry whose raw materials are still imported.<\/p>",
