Indonesia National Plastic Action Partnership (NPAP)
Bridging collaboration for reducing plastic waste in Indonesia
Background
Plastic pollution is a global crisis that fundamentally affects the economy, ecosystem, and human health. With over 265 million population and the largest economy in ASEAN, Indonesia plays a key role in the fight against plastic pollution at the global and regional levels.
As a country with rapid economic growth, urbanization level, and industrialization, developing a circular economy and inclusive plastic waste management is crucial to securing the nation's future.
About Us
Indonesia National Plastic Action Partnership (NPAP) is a multistakeholder platform that gathers government, academia, researchers, experts, industry, financial institutions, the private sector, and civil organizations in the efforts to resolve plastic pollution.
Through collaboration, Indonesia NPAP serves as a catalyst to accelerate the development of waste management solutions that are based on circularity, maintaining the balance between economic growth and environmental preservation. Supporting this effort, Indonesia NPAP, together with its members, is developing documents, knowledge products, and publications to encourage inclusive policies, mobilize finances, and advance innovation.

In 2026, Indonesia NPAP has outlined several work programs to contribute to the Indonesian government's target of achieving 100% waste management by 2029. These key programs include:
- Resource Mobilization and Waste Data Enhancement
Optimizing waste management, including reuse facilities, and strengthening plastic lifecycle governance data systems to improve national waste management and monitoring. - Strengthening the Implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
Advancing capacity building and facilitating multi-stakeholder consultations on packaging EPR in Indonesia. - Strengthening Indonesia’s Position in the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) on Plastic Pollution
Developing a national framework and gathering input from stakeholders to shape Indonesia's position, including at the upcoming INC 5.4.
Our Secretariat
The Indonesian NPAP Secretariat is managed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) Indonesia, which was appointed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) through the Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP) in 2019.
Our Activities
Gathering Commitments during Indonesia's G20 Presidency (2022)
Along with Indonesia's G20 Presidency momentum, Indonesia NPAP gathers its members to strengthen their commitment to defeat plastic pollution. At this event, Indonesia NPAP collected 46 commitments from 39 institutions, a value equivalent to IDR 17.49 trillion. The results of this commitment can potentially reduce 866 million metric tons (t) of plastic waste, and 35.4 million Indonesians are estimated to be positively impacted through investment, infrastructure development, and education on reducing plastic waste.
