The Indonesian Environmental Forum (Walhi) DKI Jakarta reported finding 2,697 pieces of single-use plastic waste on the Marunda Kepu coast, North Jakarta. This finding resulted from an audit of several product brands conducted by Walhi Jakarta on March 18, 2023.

A total of 352 brands from 140 consumer product manufacturers were implicated in this pollution.

According to Walhi's report, powdered beverage packaging was the most prevalent type of plastic waste, accounting for 889 units or 32.96% of the total single-use plastic waste found.

Next, plastic packaging from snack products ranked second, with 606 units or 22.47%. This was followed by food seasoning products in third place, with 286 units or 10.6%.

Walhi also found that Kapal Api and Good Day were the top two brands with the most packaging waste polluting the Marunda Kepu coast in Jakarta, with 199 and 195 units of waste respectively.

Indomie ranked third with 84 units of waste found.

Walhi Jakarta campaigner, Muhammad Aminullah, stated that the dominance of single-use plastic packaging waste in the pollution of the Marunda Kepu coast demonstrates that single-use plastics pose a serious threat to environmental sustainability.

"These findings also indicate a disregard by consumer product manufacturers for their responsibility regarding the packaging waste they produce," said Aminullah, as quoted from a press release on Monday (July 17, 2023).

Aminullah added that regulations on waste management hold producers accountable for the packaging they produce.

"Besides using naturally degradable materials, producers are also obligated to retrieve the packaging waste they produce," said Aminullah.

Based on these findings, Walhi Jakarta urges the government, through the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), to accelerate and optimize the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 75 of 2020 concerning the Roadmap for Plastic Reduction by Producers.

According to Aminullah, this is necessary to curb the amount of plastic produced. "Because if it's not limited, plastic pollution will continue," said Aminullah.
