A Waste4Change report indicates that the processing of flexible plastic waste in Jakarta remains low. In fact, less than 5% of such waste is processed.

Flexible plastic waste refers to packaging made from aluminum foil, plastic film, cellophane, aluminum-coated plastic film, and others. This packaging can be in the form of sheets, bags, sachets, and more.

Daily flexible plastic packaging waste can reach 279.63 tons. Of this total, only 3.77% is processed; 2.99% is recycled and 0.78% is used for waste-to-energy power plants (PLTSa).

The remaining 87.52% of the waste ends up in the Bantar Gebang Final Waste Disposal Site (TPST). Furthermore, 8.72% of flexible plastic packaging waste is completely unmanaged.

Waste4Change conducted this research in DKI Jakarta (excluding the Thousand Islands) from March to June 2021. The scope of this flexible plastic packaging waste stream is limited to the management of post-consumer domestic waste.
