Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs, Zulkifli Hasan, announced a government target to resolve 70-80 percent of the nation’s waste management problems by 2029. The announcement was made during a waste sorting preparedness event held at Monas (National Monument) in Jakarta on Sunday, June 21, 2026. While details of the plan were not immediately available, the initiative signals a renewed focus on addressing the country’s significant waste challenges. The event, titled “Jakarta Sorts Waste Alert,” suggests a public awareness and participation component to the strategy. This target reflects growing concerns about environmental sustainability and public health related to waste disposal in Indonesia. Further information regarding specific strategies and implementation plans is expected to be released in the coming months. The government hopes to significantly improve waste handling across the archipelago.
