The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) calculated the proportion of plastic use in a number of Southeast Asian and East Asian countries in its report, "Regional Plastics Outlook for Southeast and East Asia".

Specifically for Indonesia, the proportion of use was recorded as being higher for packaging, accounting for 31% of total use in 2022.

This figure is higher compared to other countries studied, such as Japan (27%) and South Korea (30%).

However, Indonesia's proportion is lower than Thailand (36%), China (33%), the global level (32%), and also the ASEAN level.

"In the ASEAN region, high-income and upper-middle-income countries use plastic primarily for packaging (43%), reflecting a focus on consumer goods, with less emphasis on industries such as construction," wrote the OECD.

Other major uses are for textiles, which account for 17%, then transportation 14%, and consumer products 11%.

Here is a complete list of the proportion of plastic use in Indonesia according to the OECD's findings:

Packaging: 31%
Textiles: 17%
Transportation: 14%
Consumer products: 11%
Construction: 7%
Electronics and machinery: 5%
Tires: 2%
Others: 12%.

"In contrast, in lower-middle-income ASEAN countries, plastic use is more heavily utilized in the infrastructure and transportation sectors, indicating different development priorities," said the OECD.
