Policy framework
National Action Plan
Name:
National Action Plan on Marine Debris Management
– Brief description:
The National Action Plan consists of 5 strategies to combat marine debris, namely:
1. national movement to increase awareness of stakeholders;
2. waste management sourced from the land;
3. prevention of waste in coastal and the sea;
4. funding mechanism, institutional strengthening;
5. research and development.
Legal framework
Name:
Presidential Regulation Number 83/2018 concerning Marine Debris Management.
– Brief description:
This legislation governs 16 line ministries to collaborate in combating marine debris. it also sets national target of marine debris reduction by 70% by 2025.
Indicators
National target by 70% by 2025. This target is counted by comparing marine litter leakage from land based in to the ocean in 2018 to the existing year.

Achievements |
Promotion of innovative solutions |
|
Policy actions for encouraging plastic alternatives (e.g. biodegradable plastics, circular product design – including use of recycled materials or closed loop recycling and so on’) |
|
Names of actions: Brief description: Moreover, MOEF regulation P.75/2019 governs producer to implement take-back scheme of post-consumer product and packaging for recycling and reusing purpose. Both closed loop recycling and opened loop recycling is applied in this scheme. |

|
Names of actions: Brief description: |
We see a positive improvement from last two years Numerical data if any: 1 refuse derived fuel (RDF) facility has been installed and operated in Cilacap Regency Central Java with capacity 120 ton per day that produced 40-50 tons RDF to be co-fired in cement.kiln. |
Measures |
Achievements |
Education and awareness raising |
|
Education system for encouraging public awareness on MPL issues |
|
As part of marine debris management, strategy 1: national movement to increase awareness of stakeholders (see section 2.1). Ministry of Education was appointed to chair the working group to initiate/develop training/workshop program for students in the area of waste management. Indonesia has also been implementing a “green school” program called “Adiwiyata”, promoting green generation through green scouts, and a Junior Environmental Champion program for elementary school students. These programs include aspects related to 3Rs and sustainable waste management in schools. |
