| dc.description | With support from the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the Coordinating Body on the Seas of East Asia (COBSEA) piloted an integrated waste management system in Untia, Indonesia, in partnership with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Indonesia. The pilot aimed to overcome the pollution challenges faced by this remote community by enhancing the capacity of Untia’s Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). The initiative provided essential machinery, established a network of waste bank, enhanced local knowledge and understanding of waste management practices, and generated income for villagers involved in waste collection. The case study is part of a series developed by COBSEA with partners in the region aimed at sharing lessons learned and replicating good practices on integrated plastic waste management in remote and island communities in the East Asian Seas region. All COBSEA case studies are available on the web platform of the Regional Node of the GPML. | en_US |
