YPBB and partners then developed Project MERIT to build historical baseline data and local emission factors. A similar approach has been taken at the Sarimukti TPA using Tier 2 data standards in a methane emission reduction plan involving 12 districts/cities.

KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH) opens the possibility for the activities of various waste banks and communities to be combined into an integrated scheme, as long as the contribution of each actor can still be tracked.

With this mechanism, community waste management not only has the potential to reduce the burden on landfills, but can also become part of an emissions reduction system that has economic value.

The next job is to ensure that the amount of waste, processing methods and emissions avoided can actually be calculated and verified.
