Takeaways

• 🗑️ Indonesia produces around 200,000 tons of waste daily, most of which ends up in landfills.
• 💰 The economic potential of recycling in Indonesia is significant, with plastic waste alone reaching 27 million tons and a potential recycling sector worth $31.5 billion annually.
• 🚮 Unfortunately, 81% of waste in Indonesia is not sorted, making recycling difficult.
• ♻️ To reduce waste, individuals can start by minimizing their waste production, such as by bringing reusable bottles and cloth bags from home.
• 🏠 If waste is already generated, it can be managed by sorting it into four categories: organic waste, inorganic waste, hazardous and toxic materials (B3), and residual waste.
• 🌱 Organic waste consists of biodegradable materials like food scraps and plant matter, which can be composted.
• 🔄 Inorganic waste can be classified into reusable items and recyclable items, such as plastic, glass, paper, and cardboard.
• ⚠️ Hazardous and toxic waste includes batteries, expired medications, and contaminated packaging, which require special handling.
• 🗑️ Residual waste includes items that cannot be recycled or reused, such as tissues, styrofoam, used diapers, and masks.
• 🏡 To effectively manage waste, individuals should prepare separate containers for each waste category and consider using items like old sacks or cardboard boxes as containers.
• 🌿 Organic waste can be composted at home or taken to local waste processing facilities.
• 🔄 Recyclable materials should be clean, empty, and dry before being taken to recycling centers or waste banks.
• 💡 There are apps like 'Glewo' that use AI to help identify recyclable materials and provide incentives for waste sorting.
• 🎁 Users can earn points and rewards by participating in waste sorting missions and using the app's features.
• 🌍 Sorting waste at home can significantly contribute to reducing landfill waste and protecting the environment.
