Indonesia has been in hot water over its contribution to marine waste since 2015, when a report by researcher Jenna Jambeck ranked Indonesia as the world’s second-worst marine plastic polluter for allowing about 1.29 million tons of plastic waste to enter the ocean in 2010 as a result of improper waste management.

The government has been working to prevent waste from ending up in the ocean, including by building the country’s recycling industry. 

But the efforts still have a long way to go. Many say the country’s ineffective waste management practices have held the recycling industry back.
