In 2025, the program expanded access to affordable, end-to-end waste management services to 772,485 people \u2013 an increase of more than 200,000 compared to 2024 \u2013 across all Project STOP cities, with a strong focus on establishing Indonesia\u2019s first regency-wide circular waste management system in Banyuwangi Regency, East Java.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2017, waste management systems supported through Project STOP have collected 100,961 metric tons of waste \u2013 equivalent to nearly 200,000 local waste collection tricycle loads. This represents waste collected through these systems, most of which might otherwise have been openly dumped or burned. This milestone reflects the strength of long-term partnership and sustained community engagement. The program has also created 276 full-time-equivalent jobs, strengthening local economies and building capacity for lasting change.<\/p>\n<p>Community engagement remains at the heart of Project STOP. In 2025, with the support of Banyuwangi Regency\u2019s leadership, the program worked closely with village leaders, facilitators, and local influencers, leveraging community meetings and door-to-door outreach. These intensified behavior change efforts have improved household participation rates, which are still below the program\u2019s ambition. Banyuwangi Regency\u2019s efforts have been recognized nationally, ranking second in Indonesia for community-based total sanitation (STBM) and receiving the Swasti Saba Healthy District Award.<\/p>\n<p>A highlight of the year was the transformation of recycled polypropylene from Project STOP\u2019s collected plastic waste into Wild Pots, a new circular product showcased at the K 2025 trade fair. This collaboration between Borealis, Borouge, PT Pelita Mekar Semesta, WILDPLASTIC\u00ae, and WITTMANN demonstrates how innovation across the value chain can turn collected plastic waste into high-value products.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, 2026 will be a year of further growth. Project STOP will continue to expand waste collection services to additional villages in Banyuwangi Regency, commission a second material recovery facility in Karetan, and begin construction of two material transfer stations. Once operational, these facilities are expected to handle up to 260 metric tons of waste per day \u2013 a critical step toward enabling access to waste services across the Regency for up to 2 million people.<\/p>\n<p>Stefan Doboczky, CEO of Borealis, says: \u201cSurpassing 100,000\u00a0metric\u00a0tons of waste collected is an important milestone for Project STOP and a testament to what long-term partnership and local leadership by Banyuwangi Regency can accomplish. By expanding access to waste management services for hundreds of thousands of people, strengthening local capacities, and advancing critical infrastructure, Project STOP continues to demonstrate how circular solutions can be delivered at scale and these efforts are an integral part of Borealis\u2019 strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReaching this milestone shows that circular waste systems can move beyond pilots and become embedded in local institutions,\u201d says Widharmika Agung, Partner and Head of Indonesia office at Systemiq. \u201cWhat we are seeing in Banyuwangi is the strengthening of governance, operational capability and infrastructure working together as one system. That systems-level integration is what enables long-term impact at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are proud to be working alongside committed partners to build integrated systems that expand communities\u2019 access to waste services,&#8221; said Deborah Backus, CEO of Clean Rivers, a UAE-backed foundation tackling global challenges at the intersection of waste and water. &#8220;Every ton of waste collected is waste that was not openly burned, dumped or left to leak into soils and waterways \u2013 reducing the burdens that mismanaged waste places on lives, livelihoods and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>December 2025 Impact since inception in 2017<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 378px;\" width=\"921\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"302\">Population with access to waste

\/>\nProject STOP (STop Ocean Plastics), launched in 2017 by Borealis and Systemiq, is a pioneering program that provides access to effective circular waste management systems at scale in Southeast Asia. Collaborating with public and private sector partners, the initiative builds waste management infrastructure and deploys technical expertise to achieve zero waste leakage, increase recycling, build economically sustainable programs, create new jobs and reduce the harmful impacts of mismanaged and openly burnt waste on public health and the environment. The first city partnership was established in 2017 in the city of Muncar, East Java, followed by others in Pasuruan, East Java, and Jembrana, Bali. Following the successful handover of all three Project STOP city partnerships to the local regency governments, Project STOP\u2019s focus is now on providing a Regency-wide circular waste management system in Banyuwangi Regency, East Java (Project STOP Banyuwangi Hijau) further enabled by Borealis and Project STOP\u2019s scale-up partner and funder Clean Rivers.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Project STOP visit <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u00a0<a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stopoceanplastics.com\/id\/\">www.stopoceanplastics.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Borealis\u202f<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Borealis adalah salah satu penyedia solusi poliolefin terdepan dan berkelanjutan di dunia.

Project STOP Banyuwangi has been nominated as part of Circular Banyuwangi, working to build Indonesia\u2019s first regency-wide circular plastics system across coastal urban and rural communities. Circular Banyuwangi brings together local leaders, indigenous communities, informal workers, scientists, enterprises and government agencies committed to reshaping how plastics are designed, sold, used and managed \u2013 from product design and retail to collection, sorting, reuse and recycling. The initiative is grounded in systems science, Living Labs and real-world monitoring, ensuring that solutions are evidence-based, locally owned and scalable. The programme builds directly on Project STOP Banyuwangi , which provides the backbone of circular waste services in the regency. The Banyuwangi Hijau currently provides access to waste services for 340,000 residents, with a pathway to reach 1.4 million people through its long-term partnership with the Banyuwangi Regency Government (Banyuwangi Hijau).<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4,6],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.7.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Project STOP, Banyuwangi Regency and partners surpass 100,000 tons of waste collected in 2025 - Project STOP<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Project STOP is celebrating the achievement of an important milestone: Since its start in 2017 until the end of 2021, the programme has brought more circular and reliable waste management services to more than 260,000 people in three cities in Indonesia (many receiving waste collection for the first time ever), built five waste processing facilities, and contributed to permanently preventing more than 20,000 tonnes of waste (including 2,350 tonnes of plastic) from leaking into the environment.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stopoceanplastics.com\/id\/project-stop-banyuwangi-regency-and-partners-surpass-100000-tons-of-waste-collected-in-2025\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"id_ID\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Project STOP, Banyuwangi Regency and partners surpass 100,000 tons of waste collected in 2025 - Project STOP\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Project STOP is celebrating the achievement of an important milestone: Since its start in 2017 until the end of 2021, the programme has brought more circular and reliable waste management services to more than 260,000 people in three cities in Indonesia (many receiving waste collection for the first time ever), built five waste processing facilities, and contributed to permanently preventing more than 20,000 tonnes of waste (including 2,350 tonnes of plastic) from leaking into the environment.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.stopoceanplastics.com\/id\/project-stop-banyuwangi-regency-and-partners-surpass-100000-tons-of-waste-collected-in-2025\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Project STOP\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-03-09T11:09:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-03-09T11:17:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.stopoceanplastics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ALI_5950-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1617\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Ditulis oleh\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Project STOP\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimasi waktu membaca\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5 menit\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.stopoceanplastics.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.stopoceanplastics.com\/\",\"name\":\"Project STOP\",\"description\":\"STOP WASTE.
