How to Accelerate Waste Processing Technology to Solve Indonesia's Waste Problem?

Indonesia faces a significant challenge with waste management, putting immense pressure on its cities and natural landscapes. President Prabowo Subianto has initiated a campaign to accelerate waste processing technologies. His approach isn’t limited to large-scale projects like waste-to-energy conversions but also includes micro-level technologies developed by smaller institutions. The President urges universities, local governments, and other organizations to actively partake in promoting these technologies and conducting trials across various regions. The question remains: how to ensure this initiative becomes systematic and sustainable? Significant challenges exist in terms of investment and changing public behavior. Radio Idola Semarang has discussed this issue with several experts. More about the discussions can be found in their podcast.
