Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry, in collaboration with the Bali provincial government, will implement mandatory waste sorting across the island of Bali beginning July 1st. This initiative designates Bali as a national pilot project for comprehensive waste management. The regulation requires residents and businesses to separate waste into organic, inorganic, and residual categories. Authorities aim to reduce landfill waste by 70% by 2025 through this program, focusing on recycling and responsible waste disposal. Violators may face fines, though the specific penalties are still being finalized. The move is part of a broader national strategy to address Indonesia’s significant waste problem and promote sustainable tourism in Bali. The government hopes this pilot program will serve as a model for other regions throughout the country.
