        "summary": "Indonesia's Tourism Ministry has proposed that the Environment Ministry provide guidance to hotels, restaurants, and caf\u00e9s struggling with waste management compliance. Many businesses are currently unable to meet the full five-category sorting requirement under existing regulations due to space constraints, costs, and concerns about waste mixing during transport. The proposal follows the imposition of administrative sanctions on 298 hospitality businesses for waste handling violations.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Tourism has proposed that the Ministry of Environment\nprovide assistance to managers of hotels, restaurants, and caf\u00e9s in\nmanaging and handling waste. During a coordination meeting between the\ngovernment and representatives of hotel, restaurant, and caf\u00e9 businesses\nin Denpasar, Bali, on Tuesday, the Ministry of Tourism suggested\nprioritising the implementation of guidance and education in addressing\nthe waste problem faced by these establishments. The Ministry of Tourism\nalso highlighted the need to harmonise understanding regarding\nregulations and technical waste management procedures between the\ncentral government, local governments, and business actors. According to\ndata from the Ministry of Environment, as of early June 2026,\nadministrative sanctions had been imposed on 298 hotel, restaurant, and\ncaf\u00e9 businesses due to waste handling issues. However, 44 business\nactors were recorded as still not compliant. Deputy Minister of Tourism\nNi Luh Puspa stated that most hotel, restaurant, and caf\u00e9 businesses\nhave attempted to manage their waste independently or in cooperation\nwith third parties. \u201cHowever, current practices are not yet fully in\ncompliance with Government Regulation Number 81 of 2012, which requires\nsorting into five types of waste,\u201d she said. According to the\nregulations, business actors must sort waste into five types, but most\ncan currently only sort waste into three categories: organic waste,\ninorganic waste, and hazardous and toxic materials. \u201cThe constraints are\nlimited space and cost, as well as concerns that sorted waste will be\nmixed again during the transportation process,\u201d she said. She noted that\nbusiness actors handling waste independently still face obstacles in\nchannelling the sorted waste. Meanwhile, those using third-party\nservices cannot always cooperate with waste management operators that\nhold certification and can meet waste management requirements.\n\u201cInformation regarding the importance of certified vendors is also still\nnot widely understood by hospitality business actors, Mr Minister,\u201d Ni\nLuh Puspa said to the Minister of Environment.<\/p>",
