gas in the world, with unmanaged wastecontributes for over 6% of total GHG
emissions. In the world, Indonesia ranks6th in terms of GHG emission from
waste. The main reasons are the dumping ofuntreated organic waste in landfills,
open burning of waste, poor segregationand recycling rates.

systems by improving required conditions in the nationaland municipal levels.
