Indonesia Pursues Mercury Free by 2030, KLH Strengthens Toxic Waste Management

KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH) will try to find a solution so that owners of equipment contaminated with PCBs can hand it over to a licensed management facility.

“Later we will try to facilitate, for example with PLN and Pertamina, so that machines from there can be managed by PPLI according to international targets,” he stressed.

The elimination of PCBs in Indonesia refers to Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation Number 29 of 2020. This regulation sets a deadline for the elimination of PCBs in 2028 as part of Indonesia's commitment to the Stockholm Convention.

KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH) is optimistic that collaboration between the government, business actors, waste managers, law enforcement officials and international institutions can accelerate the realization of a clean, safe and sustainable Indonesian environment.
