Project STOP is a new initiative to accelerate waste management system improvements in South-East Asia,
starting in Indonesia. The project aims to make a scalable front-line
contribution to marine plastic debris prevention and ocean health. It was
announced at the Our Ocean 2017 conference and will be delivered by SYSTEMIQ
with funding and support from Borealis, a European plastics producer, and
others.
From July to September
2017, a successful feasibility and scoping assessment was carried out in
Indonesia. The feasibility and scoping assessment tested the concept of “system-enabler”
partnerships with city governments – providing expertise and support to
transition the waste management system to a zero-leakage pathway with
increasing rates of plastics recycling, job creation in new after-use economies
and public health benefits. The first city partnership will be launched in
March 2018 in Muncar, Banyuwangi, East Java - followed by wider scale-up and
replication in the region.
