Indonesia’s Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) is working to address waste management challenges on the tourist island of Gili Trawangan, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). Despite the installation of three incinerator units, operations are currently on hold. The delay stems from pending operational permits required for the facilities to begin functioning. The KKP is prioritizing the resolution of these permit issues to improve waste disposal on the island. Gili Trawangan faces significant waste management problems due to its popularity as a tourist destination. The incinerators represent a key component of the government’s strategy to tackle this issue and protect the island’s environment. Further details regarding the specific permit requirements and expected operational timeline have not yet been released.
