As one of the world’s largest plastic polluters, Indonesia is playing an active role in global efforts to tackle plastic waste. One local cement maker, Solusi Bangun Indonesia (SBI), is ramping up the use of refuse-derived fuel (RDF), which comes from plastic waste taken from the country’s landfills. Multinationals have been promoting the use of this new alternative power source as a win-win solution to tackle plastic waste and lower industrial emissions. But environmental groups say RDF production merely swaps one dirty fuel for another.

Even as Indonesian, I do not support this. Burning plastic in the first place is wrong, but the problem is, in my country, the majority of the population don't really have a decent grasp of the concept of environmental impact, as long as they get rid of their trash. If someone told them 'I have a method to recycle plastic', everyone will accept it, even if it's doing more damage to the environment, since here, everyone thinks recycling is as simple as melting the plastic then remolding it. Here, the population's awareness about preserving the present for a clean future is... Bleak, to say the least. People throwing trash bag into the river is a common sight and no one complains (even if there's a sign nearby to not do that, and when asked, they simply said 'well because everyone and their great grandmother did it'), until there's a massive flood and they blame the government and using taxpayer's money for relief effort
Yep, I agree as fellow Indonesian
I completely agree. So, what's your offer for those particular landfill?
@@AkbarNurPribadi this: m.ua-cam.com/video/S758wEniU0c/v-deo.html
It's a more sophisticated version of that recycler in this video. The main point is the fume treatment system of that facility
@HunterBidensCrackPipe That's why might as well go to alternative step by step, intead of relying on hard to reuse stuff.
World definitely can do this, just like the move from CFC to protect ozone back the in days.
you can recycle but that wil be endless.
Stop producing plastic to begin with after that recycle
For those saying that it should be recycled. I dont think the plastic is salvageable once it has been dumped to the landfill where it would have been contaminated and thus making recycling more challanging and costly.
Yes, burning the plastics has its adverse effects but as long as it is monitored and regulated (carbon trade), it is better imho than piling it up at the landfill
@HunterBidensCrackPipe yea it will not leave any polution if its burned above 600⁰ c
@@NVGEAR and let it contaminate your soil and water resource ?
The best option for now
If you don't filter out microplastics and toxic chemicals used in production of the plastics, then burning it and releasing it into air rather than letting it buried in the ground is way worse solution.
Exactly! Someone in the comment section even said he fully support this to reduce plastic pollution 😅
Yeah, they just shredded it to micro pieces. Polluting the world in a whole new way
@@akihibara6436 @aki hibara bet you're indonesian too, its always a constant proud-no proud conflict lol, unstoppable force and immovable object
@@akihibara6436 i bet ur country better than singapore
@@akihibara6436 everyone is proud of their own country in one way or another, are you not proud of your country for it's achievements?
Recycling the plastic is already the right track, but using the recycled products to create emission is just like going back to zero..
The best solution is to stop producing so much plastic in the first place.
Ding ding ding we have a winner!!!
Yes but as long as you have oil continously produce it will be very difficult.
Best solution is to significantly reduce human population. Sadly people rarely agree, even if they do they don't want it (including me).
As long as human still alive & plastic still a cheap material for industry, we still need plastic in huge amounts
The perfect solution is to half the human population 😅
That's not the solution
Nigeria is doing this too but this is worse for the environment
@HunterBidensCrackPipe it eventually melts and gets in the air. In the summer that cement is 🔥
You don't talk bad about Indonesia, or else no more Indomie for you 😏
Lemé guess, the owner of the company own an oil company
So this method brings both kind of advantage and disadvantage which recycles the waste as well as bringing toxic air by burning to create pollution.
Meanwhile micro plastic : 😍😘🤩🥰❤️
Since the factory and environmentalist has a contradictory statement, why don't let a neutral third party verify all aspects and assist in making sure that the factory complies with the regulation? Even the statement from locals might be unreliable (placebo effect), or the source might not be directly from the plant itself (it could be from the landfill or from the transportation from landfill to plant)
I believe a better alternative would be the plastic road.
The Indian invented this method and is the leading country in this technology as well as in usage rates.
Indian has built 35.000 km road made out of plastic.
Each 1 km road consumes about 1 million bag of plastic wastes.
Until climate change overheats the road and eventually it breaks down and seeps plastic toxicity into the environment
Indians?
Source be like:Trust me bro
Indonesia already made that to mate
smart lets poison the land slowly so we and our grandchild cant used it for anything including water from underneath it
Ever heard of "micro plastic" ?
Better alternatives would be stop using plastic altogether.. but since that will be hard I guess this will be fine if monitored closely
Bold. Don't just talk, take action👍
I love the smell of plastic in the morning
this was big news in Indonesia when they even started doing it…yet, they still go on. Wow, just wow.
but yeet all the poison
the problem with recycling is that it has been difficult and challenging yet the capabilities of it has been never suffice
Me as an indonesian think that this action is right but also wrong at the same time 😩
Nice. Thank you
This is for practicing "just do it"
Nice
Just realized soo many environmental expert in the comments section
It be nice if the could use plastic to fix the roads in Borneo.
Countries in Europe and India are already doing it.
Innovative! Hopefully it will help to fix problems on solid waste.
How is chemical burning into the atmosphere innovative???????????????why do you think recycling was even invented.TO AVOID BURNING IT UP INTO THE AIR.
ridiculous. burning low calorie value plastics and releasing toxic carcinogenic gases is much worse than keeping it around in a landfill. Why cant indonesia make laws to punish plastic use?
Look to poorer countrues to come up with novel solutions.
These plants always have filters but emissions will always be a problem. Not all particles can be filtered with our current technology. Maybe we will buy them (better equipment and technique) from China.
why does everything have to come from the us or china?????
I think they should see how Singapore burned they should filter the smoke not plastic
Don't tell Greta...
based and carbon pilled
Basically burning petroleum for fuel.
Sad it has come to this. What sort of fumes and gases are being further produced ontop by burning plasucs waste?
Meanwhile somewhere in Africa:
A company use plastic as cement rather than using it as fuel to make plastic 🗿
that sounds like the obvious solution, but I assume it's not something that could be adopted in cold climates
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Now, one man's trash is another resource for producing or making things, like for cement, or better yet, plastic roads.
This is so silly and so wrong. Mixing plastic waste with other materials and using it as fuel will release toxins into the air for sure. That is classic environmental air pollution right there which can cause lung cancer. The ideal thing to do is to apply heat and compact it with tar, bitumen and other aggregates for roads and highway construction. It can also be used for foundations of low rise residential building of mass housing projects. There is nothing wrong if used for airport runways as well as long as it is done properly as mentioned above....
Do you know microplastic smart guy..
Using plastic from pile of garbage seems kinda sketchy. Or is this not exactly as bad of an idea as it seems?
nice, add plastic burning to the annual Indon forest fires. great for the world.
Burner boys
I couldn't even get that job
Hello friends
Maybe there they don't know Dioxine 😯 are like the clever African guys make road bricks recicling plastic😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When did plastic burning become alternative fuel??? Then why did the US ship their plastic wastes to Indonesia and Malaysia in the first place?? roflmao
The US shipped their plastic to developing countries because:
A. These countries had not realized that it would actually cost them money to process that waste
B. These countries were not yet aware that the majority of plastic can not be recycled and therefore ended on landfills and polluted the soil
C. The freight ships that brought product to the US went back empty because the US did not sell much product to those countries, so before 2017 people still thought it was a great idea to let developing countries deal with G20 countries mess.
@@rogiervantilburg3440 so the US knew plastic wasn't an alternative fuel solution.
That's my point.
Bad decision
Made in Indonesia
merugikan lingkungan euy klo ngg terbakar smpurna, itu zat dri plastik bsa bkin kanker slma proses pmbakaran klo ngg smpurna :)
Is it not carcinogenic
I support this action 👍👍.
Making reuse and recyclable policy A NATIONAL PRIORITY 🙏🙏🙏
Make plastic roads and footpaths.
Tf burning plastic
ni hao
你呢
Im not sure haha
Polusi
This is Democracy base on capitalism 🙄
Wkwkwk paradox😅😂
As an Indonesian we need to support this kind of business.
Ozone depletion and toxic rainfall...no thanks
@HunterBidensCrackPipe Will happen -ozone is damaged already thats why there is global warming if that's your question,an those things happening are why there's a plastic problem at all science proved burning plastic is a no no..
Take that pinoy!!! You pag pag
What does Pinoy mean? Isn't that for the Philippines?
@@heiitsme182 yea since there are a lot of Indonesian haters from Philipines and India i gotta comment it first lol
Really as an Indonesian, I have never heard any Pinoy that trash talking or hate my country, am I just missing something?
Shame on you @aitai sakura, stop bragging Filipinos here. If you hate a toxic person that's living in our country then go for it. But, stop generalizing all of us and what do you mean by pagpag? Are you also gonna tell that it's our national dish? Earth isn't fair and cruel, it's the people living on it (just like the one who's being racist down here).
Gak usah arogan
