Based on data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), Indonesia generated 30.97 million tons of waste in 2023.
However, this data is incomplete. As of July 17, 2024, waste data received is only from 280 regencies/cities, while Indonesia has a total of 514 regencies/cities.
Of the recorded waste, 20.2 million tons (65.24%) are classified as managed, and 10.77 million tons (34.76%) are unmanaged.
Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 6/2022 defines "waste management" as systematic, comprehensive, and continuous activities encompassing waste reduction and handling.
According to this regulation, waste is classified as managed if it is recorded as entering waste management facilities such as waste banks, integrated waste processing sites (TPST), final processing sites (TPA), recycling centers (PDU), incinerators, organic processing centers (POO), or is processed into compost, creative products, and so on.
Waste that does not enter these facilities is categorized as unmanaged.
Furthermore, according to a survey by the Ministry of Health, in 2023, the majority of Indonesian households managed their waste by burning it.
