        "summary": "Minister Zulkifli Hasan has revealed that President Prabowo Subianto is deeply worried about Indonesia's persistent waste management issues, which hinder the nation's progress towards becoming a great and advanced country. He highlighted the abundance of available technologies for waste processing but noted their limited implementation due to overly complex and lengthy permitting processes, with only two projects approved in the past 11 years and one of them inconsistently operational. To address this, the government has issued Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2025 to streamline licensing, and is currently tackling waste emergencies in 71 cities across 22 agglomerations, aiming to resolve critical cases in areas like Bantargebang, South Tangerang, and Bandung by 2028.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs Zulkifli\nHasan (Zulhas) stated that the unresolved waste problem is a deep\nconcern for President Prabowo Subianto, as the issue has been\nlongstanding. \u201cThe waste problem is a profound concern for the\nPresident. Everywhere there is rubbish, the President is worried that if\nwe want to become a great and advanced nation, how can we not even\nmanage waste,\u201d said Zulhas in his speech at the Waste Sorting Movement\nevent, coinciding with the launch of Jakarta\u2019s 499th Anniversary in the\nRasuna Said area, Jakarta, on Sunday. According to him, there are\nalready many and diverse technologies for waste management, but\nimplementing them is difficult due to the numerous regulations. He said\nthat over 11 years, only two waste management projects using the latest\ntechnology have received permits. Of those two, one could not operate,\nand the other operates intermittently. Zulhas mentioned that this\ncondition is due to the complicated and lengthy permitting process for\nestablishing waste processing facilities. \u201cWe have formulated that there\nare regulations that are so lengthy; resolving one waste issue takes too\nlong. That is why Presidential Regulation No.\u00a0109 of 2025 was issued to\ncut down the permitting process,\u201d he stated. Zulhas added that the\ngovernment is currently addressing waste problems in 71 cities across 22\nagglomerations that are in a waste emergency. Even, there are several\nregions that fall into the waste emergency category, such as in\nBantargebang, South Tangerang, Bandung, and several other cities. \u201cThe\nemergencies like in Bantargebang, Bandung, Tangsel, we will resolve by\n2028,\u201d said Zulhas.<\/p>",
