项目 STOP 塑料垃圾分类(版权: Project STOP) Project STOP Plastic waste sortation (Copyright: Project STOP) 在印度尼西亚，扩大废料管理和回收解决方案是一项挑 战，因为建立和运营废料管理系统需要资金，而且需要大规 模的社区行为改变和废料系统运营商的技能发展。有机废料 和某些类型的塑料废料(特别是由多种塑料制成的多层塑料)的 回收或堆肥价值非常低。到目前为止，该项目的参与率根据 地点的不同，从50%到87%不等，平均略高于30%的非有机 可回收材料被送往所有合作社区进行回收。 STOP项目之所以能够产生影响，是因为印度尼西亚国家 和地方政府机构提供了宝贵的支持，这些机构包括环境和林 业部、海洋事务协调部、国家发展规划部/国家发展规划局、 公共工程和公共住房部、班尤万吉政府、帕苏鲁安政府和珍 布拉纳政府。除了其创始人北欧化工和Systemiq之外，Pro- ject STOP还与来自国际机构、学术界和私营部门的领先组织 建立了战略合作伙伴关系:挪威外交部、雀巢、博禄公司、终 结塑料废料联盟、Siegwerk、Schwarz、惠普、P4G、埃森哲 和双鱼。 P roject STOP is co-funded by Borealis and Systemiq, who share the same vision: to permanently stop waste leaking into the environment by supporting the establishment of low-cost waste management solutions, creating real impact through action on the ground. The key objectives of the programme include: • Reducing waste leakage into the environment by providing affordable, reliable and formal waste collection to all citizens; • Promoting resource efficiency and circularity that transform waste into feedstock for recycling; • Achieving economic sustainability; • Benefitting the communities through improved public health and creating permanent job opportunities in waste and material sorting sectors. The programme’s first city partnership started in 2017 in Mun- car, a coastal fishing community in Banyuwangi Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Active support from Project STOP for the Mun- car waste management system ended in February 2022 and to date, the local government authorities are continuing to operate the system successfully. Active support for the waste manage- ment system in Pasuruan Regency, East Java, ended in February 2023. The project continues to operate in the Jembrana Regency in Bali, and has started its expansion into the Banyuwangi Regency, East Java, with the construction of a new material recovery facility (MRF). Thomas Gangl, CEO, Borealis, said: “Project STOP’s impressive results generated during challenging times enable us to de- monstrate the important role of improved waste management solutions at scale, to avoid negative environmental impacts of plastic waste. This well complements Borealis’ endeavours towards a circular system approach for plastics by driving reduction, reuse and design for recycling. We are proud to have achieved these results together with all our partners and thank all our local, national and international supporters and project partners for their commitment!” Jason Hale, Director of Operations, Ocean Plastics Asia, Systemiq, said: “In 2022, we materially increased households served and tons captured in our second and third Project STOP cities. Over 300,000 people are now participating in our waste services, and it has been offered to many more. More impor- 37 Extrusion Asia Edition 2/2023 tantly, we completed capacity building with our local partners in these cities, setting these programs on course for long-term sustainability and growth. Moreover, we created a strong foun- dation in the Banyuwangi Regency from which we will grow our impacts at a larger scale, while building a roadmap for other Regencies to follow. We welcome additional funders to support this planned expansion for 2023-26, and remain proud to deli- ver Project STOP in partnership with strong local and national government agencies, as well as our funders and advisors.” Scaling up waste management and recycling solutions is chal- lenging in Indonesia because of the financing required to build and operate waste management systems, and the need for large-scale community behaviour changes and skills develop- ment amongst waste system operators. Organic waste and some types of plastic waste (particularly multi-layer plastics made from multiple types of plastics) have very low value for recycling or composting. So far, the project has achieved participation rates ranging from 50% to 87% depending on the location, and on average slightly more than 30% of non- organic recyclable ma- terials are sent for recycling across all partner communities. Project STOP’s impact was made possible through the invaluable support from Indonesia’s national and local government agen- cies, including the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs, the Ministry of Na- tional Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency, the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing, the Banyuwangi Government, the Pasuruan Government and the Jembrana Government. In addition to its founders Borealis and Systemiq, Project STOP is grateful to its strategic partnerships with leading organizations from international institutions, aca- demia and private sectors: the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nestlé, Borouge, the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, Sieg- werk, Schwarz, HP, P4G, Accenture, and Pisces. ➠ Borealis Group www.borealisgroup.com ➠ Systemiq www.systemiq.earth ➠ Project STOP www.stopoceanplastics.com
