The Special Committee (Pansus) on Waste Management of the Jakarta\nDPRD has highlighted a number of obstacles still hindering the\noptimisation of the RDF Plant in Rorotan, North Jakarta. The waste\nprocessing facility is considered to have a large capacity to reduce\nJakarta\u2019s dependence on the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Treatment\nFacility.<\/p>\n
Pansus Chairman Judistira Hermawan stated that the RDF Rorotan is\npart of an effort by the Jakarta Provincial Government and the DPRD to\nreduce the volume of waste sent to Bantargebang in Bekasi City. During a\nvisit on Thursday, the committee sought to understand the hurdles\npreventing the facility from operating at full capacity. The DPRD is\ntargeting the plant to process 1,500 to 2,000 tonnes of waste per day\nwithin the next year.<\/p>\n
Judistira explained that the main constraint is not technology or\nprocessing machinery. The Rorotan plant has three processing lines, each\nwith a capacity of around 800 tonnes per day, giving a total capacity of\n2,400 tonnes per day. During the visit, two lines were operating while\nthe third was undergoing routine maintenance. He noted the key issue\nappeared to be external factors, particularly infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Road access to the RDF Rorotan remains a concern as it is not yet\nfully adequate to support the mobility of waste truck fleets from across\nJakarta. Consequently, the DPRD plans to push for accelerated\ninfrastructure handling through coordination with the Bina Marga Agency.\nJudistira said the committee would urge the agency to address road\nsections in the KBT area connecting East and North Jakarta so that\nEnvironmental Agency fleets can gain better access for smoother waste\ndeliveries.<\/p>\n
Besides road issues, the Pansus also noted residents\u2019 complaints\nregarding waste trucks passing through to RDF Rorotan. Residents are\ndemanding the use of closed compactor trucks to prevent odours and\nleachate water from leaking onto the roads. Judistira acknowledged\npublic frustration when old trucks cause leachate to drip, creating a\nnuisance, and emphasised the need for dedicated sealed compactor\nfleets.<\/p>\n
Judistira also stressed that Jakarta cannot rely on a single waste\nprocessing facility. He said several instruments must be maximised while\nawaiting the construction of waste-to-energy plants in the coming years.\nThese include the Rorotan RDF, the RDF in Bantargebang, the Water Body\nManagement Units (UPK Badan Air), and around 61 TPS 3R (Reduce, Reuse,\nRecycle) sites spread across Jakarta.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/rdf-rorotan-ready-to-process-2-400-tonnes-of-waste-special-committee-reveals-infrastructure-hurdles-1781190029", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
