Video: Environment Minister Bans Open Dumping at Landfills and Accepts Organic Waste

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Indonesia’s Environment Minister, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, has confirmed the government’s commitment to addressing waste problems while preserving the living environment through the Indonesia ASRI Movement (Safe, Healthy, Clean, and Beautiful). The ASRI Movement, directly initiated by President Prabowo, is implemented through assistance, technical guidance, and law enforcement. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLH) is pushing for improvements in waste management governance in every region, evaluated through the Adipura award; unfortunately, no region has received the Adipura yet, as it can only be awarded to local governments that provide a clean environment for the community. This is expected to encourage local governments to improve waste management, promote a culture of waste handling in society, such as prohibiting landfills from using the open dumping system or openly disposing of waste, and banning organic waste from entering landfills. What are the waste handling steps through the ASRI Movement?
