Published on 14 Mar 2023Regulation No. 75/2019 of the Ministry for Environment & Forestry regarding the Roadmap on Waste Reduction by Producers in Indonesia provides relevant policy instruments for EPR implementation in Indonesia. This policy paper describes what possible interventions can be done to advance the implementation of the Roadmap until 2029, and what can be done beyond 2030 to set up an EPR for packaging system. The analysis conducted for this paper is based on result from desk studies and consultancy reports composed by formal and informal discussions with producers (i.e. manufacturers, brand owners) as well as waste management actors, civil society and academia in Indonesia. As a result, several aspects were identified that offer room for improvement to increase private sector participation and refine the EPR design in Indonesia now and beyond 2030.
