🚮 Jakarta's Garbage Overload

Jakarta, with a population of over 11.24 million, ranks as the second most densely populated city in the world. This leads to a high production of waste, with Jakarta generating up to 7500 tons of garbage daily from various sectors including consumption, packaging, and household waste. The current waste management system is insufficient, with waste still being piled up without proper processing. The city has prepared a scheme and a Presidential Regulation (Perpres) for waste management, but there is a lack of utilization. The Bantar Gebang landfill, which is the heart of Jakarta's waste processing, continues to receive waste from the metropolitan area, leading to the formation of garbage mountains that threaten to erupt due to the increasing volume of waste. The government has had to expand the landfill area from 110 hectares to 117.5 hectares in 2021 to accommodate the growing waste volume. However, the sorting and management of waste are still rudimentary, and there is an ideal need for more advanced waste processing facilities like incinerators.

🏗️ Challenges in Waste-to-Energy Conversion in Jakarta

The script discusses the challenges faced in converting waste into energy in Jakarta. Despite the establishment of new waste processing facilities like the landfill Mini and RDF Bantar Gebang Pra, which was inaugurated on October 10, 2022, they have not yet been operationalized due to ongoing testing and improvements. The RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) Bantar Gebang, which was projected to process 2000 tons of waste and produce around 700 tons of alternative fuel, has faced delays in its operational schedule. The target operation was initially set for January but has been revised to June 2023. The operational delays are due to the RDF product not meeting the buyer's specifications, including calorific content and organic matter content. The government is working on optimizing the machinery and improving the facilities to meet the design criteria, especially for the future buyer, PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa, which plans to purchase 200 tons of RDF per day. However, the RDF operation alone cannot solve Jakarta's waste problem, as it can only process a fraction of the total waste produced daily, leaving a significant amount of waste still untreated and contributing to the risk of the Bantar Gebang landfill reaching a critical volume.

Keywords

💡Landfill

A landfill is a site for the disposal of waste materials by burial. In the context of the video, landfills are used to manage the waste produced by Jakarta, which is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. The script mentions that the volume of waste is so high that the existing landfills are becoming overwhelmed, leading to environmental concerns and the need for expansion, as seen with the TPS Bantar Gebang landfill.

💡Waste Management

Waste management refers to the collection, transportation, disposal, or recycling of waste materials. The video script discusses the inadequacy of current waste management practices in Jakarta, highlighting the need for more efficient systems like integrated waste management facilities or 'kremasi sampah'. The script emphasizes the importance of proper waste segregation and processing to reduce the environmental impact.

💡Integrated Waste Management Facility (TPST)

An Integrated Waste Management Facility is a comprehensive system designed to process and manage waste in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner. The script mentions that Jakarta is struggling with waste management, and the government has prepared a presidential regulation (Perpres) to address this issue. The TPS Bantar Gebang is identified as the central facility for waste processing in Jakarta, but it is struggling to keep up with the increasing waste volume.

💡Waste Production

Waste production refers to the amount of waste generated by human activities. The video script provides statistics on Jakarta's waste production, stating that it produces up to 7500 tons of waste per day. This high volume is a result of the city's large population and various sectors contributing to waste, including consumption, packaging, and industrial activities.

💡Waste Segregation

Waste segregation is the process of separating different types of waste for recycling, composting, or disposal. The script implies that current waste segregation practices in Jakarta are rudimentary, with waste often being piled up without proper sorting or processing. This lack of segregation hinders the efficiency of waste management and contributes to the growing problem of waste accumulation.

💡Incineration

Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of waste in a controlled environment. The video script suggests that incineration is an ideal method for waste disposal in Jakarta, as it could reduce the volume of waste significantly. However, it also mentions that the city's current facilities are not yet capable of fully implementing incineration to produce ash, indicating a need for technological and infrastructural upgrades.

The video's focus on waste processing and the need for more efficient waste management suggests that recycling could play a crucial role in reducing waste volume and promoting sustainability in Jakarta.

💡Government Regulation

Government regulation refers to the rules and policies established by the government to manage various aspects of society, including waste management. The script mentions that the government has prepared a presidential regulation (Perpres) to address waste management issues. This indicates the government's role in setting standards and providing frameworks for waste management practices to ensure environmental protection and public health.

Highlights

Jakarta's population of over 11.24 million ranks it as the 8th most densely populated city in the world, leading to high waste production.

Jakarta produces up to 7500 tons of waste daily from various sectors including consumption, packaging, industry, and households.

The waste management in Jakarta is still primarily focused on dumping, lacking advanced processing like incineration to reduce waste to ash.

The government has prepared a scheme and Presidential Regulation (Perpres) to address waste management, but utilization is lacking.

Bantar Gebang is the central waste processing facility for Jakarta, where waste from the metropolitan area ends up.

The waste volume at Bantar Gebang is increasing, threatening to erupt like a volcano due to the uncontrolled accumulation.

To accommodate the increasing waste, the Jakarta Provincial Government expanded the Bantar Gebang landfill from 110 hectares to 117.5 hectares in 2021.

The daily waste volume in Jakarta has risen by 45% in the last 12 years, from 5100 tons in 2011 to 7500 tons in 2022.

Over 1300 trucks of waste from all over Jakarta enter Bantar Gebang daily, causing traffic congestion in the area.

Several waste processing facilities have been established in Bantar Gebang, including the latest landfill mini and RDF Bantar Gebang Pra.

The RDF Bantar Gebang facility, projected to process 2000 tons of waste and produce around 700 tons of alternative fuel, is not yet operational due to ongoing testing.

PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa is set to purchase 200 tons per day of the alternative fuel produced by RDF Bantar Gebang.

The RDF Bantar Gebang operation is delayed due to the product not meeting the buyer's specifications, including calorific value and organic content.
