Video: Minister Hanif's Strategy to Tackle Waste Issues through the ASRI Movement

The Ministry of Environment and Forestry/Environmental Control Agency (KLH/BPLH) is promoting the Indonesia ASRI Movement (Safe, Healthy, Clean, and Beautiful) as part of collective efforts to handle waste problems and preserve the environment in Indonesia.

Indonesia’s Minister of Environment, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, stated that the ASRI Movement was directly initiated by President Prabowo and is expected to resolve various environmental issues, including waste management, through joint efforts by all levels of society, including the corporate sector.

Currently, waste sources average 50% from households, with the remainder from corporations and public spaces. Household waste will be handled by local governments/cities, while area/corporate waste must be managed independently as it accounts for 40%.

The KLH is encouraging independent waste management by corporations, hotels, restaurants, and cafes (Horeka), with administrative sanctions for violators. In Jakarta, the KLH has sanctioned 500 business units, and in Bali, 400 business units that violated these regulations.

The government targets waste handling to be completed by 2029. For more details on waste handling steps through the ASRI Movement, watch the dialogue between Shania Alatas and Indonesia’s Minister of Environment, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, in Nation Hub, CNBC Indonesia (Friday, 24/04/2026).
