Governor Regulation of the DKI Jakarta Number 51 of 2025 Strengthens the Management of Hazardous and Toxic Waste (B3) until 2045

Introduction

On 31 December 2025, the Governor of the Special Capital Region of Jakarta enacted Governor Regulation of the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Number 51 of 2025 on the Master Plan for the Management of Hazardous and Toxic Waste (“DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation 51/2025”), which took effect on that date. This Regulation establishes the Master Plan for the Management of Hazardous and Toxic Waste (“RIPLB3”) as a long-term strategic planning document for a period of 20 (twenty) years, from 2025 to 2045, covering waste management from the household sector, Micro and Small Enterprises (“UMK”), Health Service Facilities (“Fasyankes”), to Businesses.

DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation 51/2025 is designed to mitigate the risks of hazardous and toxic waste that may cause serious health impacts and environmental pollution if not properly managed. In the context of Jakarta’s transformation into a Global City as mandated by Law Number 2 of 2024 on the Special Capital Region of Jakarta Province, the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta considers it necessary to exercise specific authority in formulating waste management policies that are effective, efficient, and sustainable.

 

Key Provisions

Management Period and Targets (20-Year Roadmap)

Pursuant to Article 8, the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta divides the hazardous and toxic waste management targets into four phases to achieve management stability by 2045. These targets are quantitative in nature and increase in each phase, thereby requiring all sectors to progressively enhance their waste management capacity. The phases are as follows:

1. Phase 1 (2025–2029);
2. Phase 2 (2030–2034);
3. Phase 3 (2035–2039); and
4. Phase 4 (2040–2045).

By way of illustration of the overall target, Annex A stipulates that in the Businesses sector, the hazardous and toxic waste management target increases significantly from 102,340 tons in 2025 to 369,100 tons by the end of Phase 4.

Obligations of the Businesses Sector (Industry and Business)

Under Annex E, the work program for the businesses sector emphasize administrative compliance and technical competence. The principal obligations include:

1. Mandatory Digital Reporting: Businesses are required to optimize hazardous and toxic waste management reporting through an integrated electronic system. The performance indicator is an increase in the number of compliant reporting businesses.
2. Competency Certification: Persons in charge and operators responsible for hazardous and toxic waste management in the business sector are required to hold competency certificates. The Environmental Agency targets that all waste management personnel will possess such certification starting from Phase 1.
3. Standardization of Temporary Storage Facilities (TPS): Hazardous and toxic waste storage facilities (TPS) owned by businesses must comply with technical standards in accordance with prevailing laws and regulations.

Obligations of the Health Service Facility Sector (Fasyankes)

The obligations of hospitals, clinics, and other health service facilities are regulated under Annex D. The primary focus of this sector is the professional handling of medical and infectious waste. The key provisions include:

1. Certification of Waste Management Personnel: Similar to businesses, Fasyankes are required to ensure that their personnel hold competency certificates in hazardous and toxic waste management issued by an authorized Training Certification Body (Lembaga Sertifikasi Pelatihan – “LSP”).
2. Processing Facility Partnerships: In view of land limitations at Fasyankes, this Regulation encourages collaboration with Regionally Owned Enterprises (BUMD) or private parties for the provision of hazardous and toxic waste collection and transportation infrastructure, including three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles.
3. Integrated Reporting: Fasyankes are required to enhance reporting of managed hazardous and toxic waste through an electronic system.

Management of the Household Sector

Pursuant to Article 6 paragraph (1) and Annex B, the management of household hazardous and toxic waste (such as electronic waste/e-waste, batteries, and hazardous material packaging) is conducted through dedicated facilities. The regulated mechanisms include:

1. E-Waste Drop Box Facilities: The Environmental Agency, in cooperation with private entities and/or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs, provides and revitalizes E-Waste Drop Box facilities and dedicated hazardous waste containers at strategic locations, such as TPS3R and Waste Banks.
2. Centralized Collection: The Government ensures the availability of dedicated collection fleets to transport household hazardous and toxic waste from the source to waste management facilities.

Facilitation for Micro and Small Enterprises (UMK)

Recognizing the limited resources of UMK, Article 6 paragraph (2) and Annex C stipulate that the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta facilitates hazardous and toxic waste management for this sector. Such facilitation includes:

1. Training and Certification: The Government provides hazardous and toxic waste management training for UMK businesses to ensure adequate competence.
2. Provision of Facilities: The Government, through BUMD such as Paljaya, assists in the provision of hazardous and toxic waste management infrastructure and facilities for UMK.

Integrated Information System

Article 10 mandates the development of an integrated hazardous and toxic waste management information system for all sectors (Households, UMK, Fasyankes, and Businesses). This system functions as a centralized database, monitoring, and supervision platform for hazardous and toxic waste management performance in Jakarta.

 

Closing

DKI Jakarta Governor Regulation 51/2025 establishes the Master Plan for the Management of Hazardous and Toxic Waste (2025–2045) as the foundation for Jakarta’s transformation into a Global City, with targets divided into four phases. This Regulation builds an ecosystem that requires enhanced administrative compliance and competency certification for the Businesses and Fasyankes sectors, while facilitating the Household and UMK sectors through the provision of infrastructure and technical training. All such efforts are supported by a centralized digital information system to mitigate environmental pollution and to ensure the achievement of hazardous and toxic waste management stability by 2045.
