USAID SELARAS Program: Reducing Plastic Waste and Methane Emissions in Indonesia

The program focuses on improving waste management systems, increasing recycling rates, and promoting sustainable practices in 18 cities and regencies across the country. The document highlights the importance of addressing waste management issues in Indonesia, where only 15% of waste is properly managed, and 70% of plastic waste is not handled properly. The USAID SELARAS program aims to achieve significant results, including reducing plastic waste in oceans by 70% by 2025 and increasing waste recycling rates to 35% by 2045.
