In Jakarta, Indonesia, a new law expected to go into effect next year will prohibit companies from using materials for their packaging that cannot be recycled, reports The Jakarta Post. It is not apparent in the story whether the law will distinguish between materials that are “recyclable,” or able to be recycled, and “recycled” materials, where there is an infrastructure available to recycle the materials. But the story notes that companies will need to switch from plastic packaging to “eco-friendly” materials.

Under the new regulations, manufacturers would also be expected to help clean up nonrecyclable litter to help protect the environment.

The Jakarta Post reported Tri Bangun Sony, domestic waste management deputy assistant at the ministry, as saying, “Many producers have yet to take action to manage their garbage. The noodle companies, for example, produce about 11 billion plastic packages annually, but no initiatives have been implemented to pick up litter.”
