Waste-to-energy (WtE) technology has emerged as a vital solution to Indonesia’s mounting waste crisis and the critical shortage of landfill space. By converting waste into electrical energy through controlled incineration processes, this technology offers a sustainable pathway forward. However, for this transition to be truly effective, it demands a steadfast commitment to rigorous environmental safety standards and project transparency, ensuring that the benefits are realized safely and equitably for the public.
