Jakarta (VNA) – Indonesian Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq informed that his ministry has held discussions with various parties to explore the potential for funding cooperation for the procurement of waste management technology.

During a review of an integrated waste management site in Cimahi, West Java, on February 22, Nurofiq said that his Ministry of Environment has discussed the cooperation with representatives from the Republic of Korea (RoK), Japan, Denmark, and most recently, Norway.

In addition, the ministry has also talked about financial support for waste management efforts in Indonesia with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

One of the plans being considered involves utilising the carbon economic value mechanism, he noted, adding Indonesia will do joint crediting mechanism, and pay through carbon credits.

He highlighted that the management of waste using technology is a necessity, in addition to waste reduction carried out at the upstream level, namely in households by sorting waste.

He also underscored the importance of the role of off-takers, or those who purchase the end-products of waste management technology, such as refuse-derived fuel (RDF) from plastic.

According to data from the ministry's National Waste Management Information System (SIPSN), Indonesia produced 29.3 million tonnes of waste in 2024./.
