Discover insights on addressing plastic pollution from Indonesia in the Systems Analysis Approach to Reduce Plastic Waste in Indonesian Societies (PISCES) project report, the Evidence-based Strategies for Reducing Plastic Waste in Indonesia. SMARTS Center was engaged in finding the cost of action and inaction. Through Indonesia’s National Action Plan, PISCES recommend a systemic and locally driven change by a circular economy framework with the use of CVORR (Complex Value Optimisation for Resource Recovery) to track the flow of plastic, money, people, habits, and policies; an improved and inclusive EPR, integrated behaviour change and a national Monitoring, Reporting and Verification system to monitor plastic-related risks. Find 26 evidence-based policy recommendations and much more in the report.
