Event Reports

On May 6th, EuroCham Indonesia had the opportunity to attend the Launching of the Southeast Asia Recycling Coalition (SEA-RC) Whitepaper and Panel Discussion on Strengthening Indonesia’s Waste Management Roadmap in Jakarta.

The discussion brought together stakeholders from government, industry, and relevant organizations to exchange perspectives on strengthening Indonesia’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework and accelerating the transition towards a more sustainable circular economy system.

The event highlighted several important policy considerations, including the expansion of industry and material scope, the establishment of Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs), eco-modulation mechanisms, and the development of stronger institutional coordination to support effective waste management implementation in Indonesia.

As sustainability and circular economy initiatives continue to gain momentum, collaborative engagement between policymakers, businesses, and industry stakeholders remains essential in supporting Indonesia’s national waste management and recycling targets.

EuroCham Indonesia would like to thank the Southeast Asia Recycling Coalition and all participants for the insightful discussions and valuable exchange throughout the event.

On May 5th, EuroCham Indonesia had the opportunity to participate in the 3rd Annual Meeting of the Indonesian - German Working Group on Quality Infrastructure in Jakarta.

The discussions highlighted the increasing importance of quality infrastructure, standardization, digitalization, and regulatory cooperation in strengthening Indonesia - Germany economic relations and enhancing market access. It was also valuable to exchange perspectives with stakeholders from government, industry, and international organizations regarding international standards, the Digital Product Passport (DPP), and the broader opportunities arising from the I-EU CEPA. As Indonesia continues to strengthen its role within global value chains, collaboration on quality infrastructure will remain essential in supporting trade facilitation, industrial competitiveness, product safety, and sustainable economic development.

EuroCham Indonesia would like to thank all organizers, speakers, and participants for the insightful discussions and warm engagement throughout the event.
