Based on data from the National Waste Management Information System (SIPSN), Indonesia generated 34.2 million tons of waste in 2024.

However, this data is only from 317 regencies/cities, while Indonesia has 514 regencies/cities. Therefore, the actual amount of waste could be higher than recorded.

Of the recorded waste, 20.4 million tons (59.7%) were managed, and 13.8 million tons (40.3%) were unmanaged.

Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 6/2022 defines "waste management" as a systematic, comprehensive, and continuous activity encompassing waste reduction and handling.

According to this regulation, waste is considered 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), composted, and so on.

Waste that does not enter waste management facilities is categorized as unmanaged.

Most of the recorded waste in Indonesia originates from households. Here is a breakdown of the percentage of national waste sources in 2024:

Households: 53.74%
Offices: 3.97%
Commerce: 10.49%
Markets: 14.48%
Public facilities: 3.76%
Commercial/industrial areas: 11.95%
Others: 1.61%
