        "summary": "The Thousand Islands Regency has achieved a 59 percent rate for waste sorting at source, driven by a gubernatorial instruction. Officials emphasise the need for stronger collaboration and infrastructure to stop waste shipments to mainland Jakarta, including using organic waste as duck feed and training local workers as environmental educators.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Head of the Thousand Islands Environmental\nSub-agency Achmad Hariadi said the achievement of waste sorting from\nsource by the local community in the island region has reached 59\npercent. \u201cThe implementation of Governor Instruction Number 5 of 2026\nconcerning the Waste Sorting and Processing Movement from Source in the\nThousand Islands has reached 59 percent,\u201d said Achmad Hariadi in Jakarta\non Friday. He said collaboration from all parties is still needed to\ncontinue improving waste management in the island region. According to\nAchmad, waste management is currently being carried out on eleven\ninhabited islands, one of which involves utilising it as animal feed on\nUntung Jawa Island. \u201cDuck farming on Untung Jawa Island is the first and\nis ready to become a solution for handling organic waste,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Thousand Islands Regent Muhammad Fadjar Churniawan said\ncommunity-based waste management still needs to be strengthened so it\ncan be implemented thoroughly across the Thousand Islands. This is in\nline with the DKI Jakarta Governor\u2019s directive that waste from the\nThousand Islands should no longer be transported to mainland Jakarta.\nThe waste sorting movement involving sub-district and urban village\nheads is currently running quite well. However, strengthening waste\nmanagement infrastructure is still needed so that the target of reducing\nwaste shipments to the mainland can be achieved optimally. One of the\nefforts being made is utilising the role of Individual Other Service\nProviders (PJLP) as educational agents for source-level waste sorting\nwho interact directly with the community. \u201cTherefore, officers are not\nonly carrying out their main duties, but are also expected to become the\nspearhead of environmental education, especially regarding the\nimportance of sorting waste starting from the household,\u201d said\nFadjar.<\/p>",
