Indonesia faces a multifaceted challenge in addressing plastic pollution, exacerbated by its unique geographical and climatic conditions, extensive industrial activities, and varying degrees of policy enforcement capabilities. The country has enacted several national and subnational policies to combat plastic pollution. Most of these are concerned with municipal waste management aspects, and the earlier policies do not mention plastics specifically. However, several of these policies speak of reuse, reduce and recycling, which suggests that they are also directed at plastic.
