Langue originale : anglais

Circular Economy (CE) with the focus on solid waste management is one of the key priorities of the Indonesian - German development cooperation. The project "InCircular: Promoting a Circular Economy in Indonesia" BMZ is supporting the Indonesian Ministry for National Development Planning (Bappenas) to implement the national Circular Economy Roadmap and Action Plan. Three material streams are of particular focus, namely packaging waste, electronic waste and residual waste to be used as refuse-derived fuel (RDF). InCircular pursues 5 Outputs (components): 1. Support the steering of the implementation of the CE Roadmap and Action Plan; 2. Enhance regulatory frameworks for CE and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for selected material streams; 3. Strengthen collaboration with industry for the implementation of CE and EPR for selected material streams; 4. Advance CE in waste management in selected provinces and municipalities; and 5. Advance Green/Sustainable Public Procurement for selected goods. This assignment is primarily anchored within Output 2. Indonesia generates approximately 70 million tonnes of municipal solid waste annually, of which an estimated 50-60% is mismanaged. Only 10-15% of plastic waste is recycled; the remainder is disposed of in uncontrolled landfills or leaks into the environment. Packaging waste is the most challenging stream. To date, no comprehensive legal framework for EPR has been established, but mandatory EPR for packaging is widely recognised by the GoI and the private sector as one central policy instrument to internalise the costs of packaging waste, mobilise private capital for collection and recycling infrastructure, and establish a level playing field across obligated producers. Indonesia has built a credible legal foundation on which EPR can be implemented. A new Presidential Decree on Waste Management (JAKSTRANAS) as well as a revised MoE Ministerial Regulation on the implementation of EPR are expected for late 2026. These would outline mandatory EPR for packaging and its modalities, marking a milestone in reforming waste management. These regulations will also form the foundation for this assignment to assist the establishment of a mandatory producer registry. A mandatory registry is important for establishing a level playing field among producers, calibrate the system based on good data, allow appropriate fee setting, estimate the infrastructure requirements and allow effective monitoring and enforcement of the regulations. The objective of this assignment is to develop a concept and strategy for the establishment of a professional, modern EPR Registry for Packaging, in line with international best practice and adjusted to the local context and latest regulatory developments in Indonesia, and to facilitate its implementation through guidance and capacity development. With this, it will contribute to supporting the Government of Indonesia in addressing packaging waste pollution through EPR. The assignment comprises the following work packages: Work package 1: EPR Registry Concept & Strategy Development This work package is the cornerstone of the contract. It encompasses a baseline analysis, the development of the concept and strategy for the EPR Registry in Indonesia. Work package 2: Capacity Development & Private Sector Consultations This work package comprises specific capacity development measures like trainings and workshops with public institutions on the development and implementation of the EPR registry concept as well as stakeholder consultations with the private sector in order to make the implementation of the system viable. Work package 3: (On Demand) Advisory Services for the Implementation of EPR This work package comprises more general, demand-based capacity development of the implementation of EPR in general.
