Indonesia Business Council for Sustainable Development From Editor in Chief Tiur Rumondang We are pleased to bring you the 8th IBCSD Newsletter, January 2014 edition. This edition will bring information about waste management as part of sustainable development issue. Although most of discussion talked about waste management in large scale, this edition will also give you perspective in managing waste in smaller scale that is very close in our daily life, such as household waste. Waste also touches transportation matter as shown by this edition from Holcim. As best practice, we want to show that the small waste could get larger and becomes a real problem if no one taking care of, which is shown by what Coca Cola Amatil Indonesia has been doing in Bali. We will also describe what IBCSD has done by the end of the year. That many partnerships and activities are still going on in promoting sustainability. Happy Reading!

Household Waste Managements in Various Countries According to Duke University, on average, people produce 2 kg of waste per day. There is a 35% increase in household waste disposal since 1960s. This is an indication that there is a positive trend between time and waste production – as development occur, people tend to consume more therefore produce more waste. Although that is the generalized trend, daily waste disposal differs in different parts of the world, from waste dumping in landfills and high end waste-to-energy process. Each country faces the struggle to adopt a more efficient and effective way to process daily garbage disposal. Senegal struggles to manage 50 tons of household waste collected each day. Recycling has not been fully adopted in the Senegalese households, therefore waste landfill is filled with mixture of solid waste such as plastic, compost, wood, as well as liquid waste such as motor oil. Incineration process could be dangerous to the citizens living near the dumping areas as burning plastic and ligneous base-products emit harmful emission. There are numerous negative externalities from an underdeveloped waste system, however it also creates the opportunity for the locals to cultivate its informal sector. The local residents reuse tin cans as bowls, newspaper to wrap fruits and tires for shoe soles. There is an emerging informal economy that rise through recycling like using metal scraps to furniture, processing fruit peels and turn it into perfume. People rummage through scraps and turn them into a commodity that could be resold in the market. Although Senegal does not have a developed recycling program, the local residents take it upon themselves to generate something out of the waste. There are many different systems how recycling is taken place. For example, France currently has three bins which consist of two recycle bins. It is often that the bins are color coded to categorize the garbage, white bin is for glass products, yellow bin is for paper, metal and plastic, while the green bin is for trash. Indonesia with 3R policy has different color code bins; green for organic waste, yellow for inorganic waste and red for dangerous chemical waste. Currently, Indonesia waste management resembles that in Senegal – with copious amount of unfiltered and uncategorized trash discarded on hills of waste landfills. With growing population and increase in domestic consumption, Indonesia need to adopt a more sustainable and efficient household waste management to avoid overflowing garbage. In Germany, the household waste is at least divided between organic and inorganic, either in residential or in some public spaces. It consists of black bin for unrecyclable waste, green bin for organic waste, blue bin for waste paper, and yellow bin for lightweight packaging. Every bin has a scheduled collection. There is also special disposal place for glass, bulky waste, and waste requiring special waste disposal such as batteries. Especially for batteries, the disposal bin can be easily found in supermarkets. ―The local authorities are in charge of waste
management. Amazingly, in some cases, they can detect who throws the wrong type of trash into a specific bin. It this happens, most of the times, the person will get a warning letter and/ or worst case scenario, a fine. Indeed, in some apartments, you can find a camera to monitor the waste disposal activities done by the tenants‖ said Medina an expat from Indonesia. As an economic incentive, the citizens can trade recyclable goods, such as plastic bottles, to supermarkets in compensation of small amount of money. Not only various between countries, even among states and provinces of a country, there may be a policy differences. For example, Ontario and Quebec are two provinces in Canada that have adopted different systems of household waste management. Ontario has 3 different household bins which are trash, recycle and compost whereas Quebec is limited to having two bins which are trash and recycle. Although the disposal systems are fairly different, Canadians as a collective have long adopted the culture of recycling resulting in a clean and organized country. Sweden is the model for sustainable waste management due to its advanced technological incineration system to turn garbage into energy. The Swedish citizen is obliged to recycle their waste therefore it is easier to process household garbage. Goods that can be recycled will be recycled while nonrecyclable goods are put through incineration processing. Through the Waste-to-Energy system, the energy is then used to generate 20% of district heat and able to provide energy for a quarter of million population in Sweden. This process is so efficient that instead of having a garbage surplus, it is currently facing a garbage scarcity. Norway is currently sending 800,000 tons of trash per year to be processed in Sweden. The remaining ash is then transferred back to Norway to sustain its cleanliness. Although Sweden has an advanced system to manage daily household disposals, it is still striving to find an even more efficient system. The incineration program emits pollution and leaves ash as the byproduct of waste management therefore there is always room for development and improvement. There are many various systems and degree of development to manage household waste. It is expensive and it takes time to evolve an effective technology and regulations. Indonesia can start by following regulations regarding disposing organic and non-organic waste. Recycling is one of the keys to a sustainable future therefore it is important that recycling becomes a part of daily routine. Moreover, it is a necessary action to create and implement one core national waste management system in Indonesia – a guideline to encourage its citizens to embrace the culture of recycling. By having thorough guideline, we – Indonesians- should adopt better garbage disposal habit as part of the culture, otherwise we would then waste… our dignity as a nation.

Waste Management Workshop. 7 November 2013 The workshop that was held on November 7th, 2013 came up with several outcomes that are conclusive and innovative. The workshop allows numerous organizations and different industries to gather, and share their thoughts and opinions. The aim is to find solutions to improve waste management from business sector point of view. Through discussion, observations showed that there has been an improvement of waste management regulations. KADIN will ensure that these regulations are not going to constrict the industries, instead will help them to be expand and grow sustainably. One of the outputs, specifically ‗listing and delisting‘, reinforces the importance of industries to relearn and familiarize themselves with the concept of ‗B3 Waste‘. The forum suggested that it is beneficial to share the outputs to the Ministry of Environment. Furthermore, the other results concluded that collaborations inter-industries, and between industries and government are expected on related issues such as PROPER and Sustainable Consumption Production. IBCSD, a leading organization on sustainable development, plays a role in raising awareness of the importance of having waste management strategy for industries. The necessary condition is to build solid partnerships between industries and government - this could be achieved through collaborations, as well as for innovation and technology.
CEO Gathering. 22 November 2013 The IBCSD CEO Breakfast Meeting event was designed for CEO level dialogue, which was expected to be the venue of IBCSD leaders to exchange strategic direction, business proposition and information related to sustainability matter. During this occasion IBCSD welcomes new companies in to the organization which are HSBC, Saratoga Capital, Coca Cola Amatil Indonesia (CCAI) and Total E&P Indonesie. Opportunities were presented for the new member companies to comprehensively introduce their corporate sustainability vision and mission, as well as potential partner organizations to present their relevance to corporate sustainability. From these exchanges, we hope for better understanding on how respective member companies would create influential impact to the sustainability achievement as corporate group. As the President of IBCSD, Shinta W. Kamdani delivered the welcome remarks especially to the newly joined companies. The second part of the meeting was the presentations from IBCSD team, starting with Teguh Triono, explaining about Indonesia Vision 2050, about how changing the paradigm (vision) towards the year 2050 could change how the way we act today.

B4E Summit. 28 November 2013 B4E Summit 2013 ―Setting a New Framework for Inclusive Green Growth‖ successfully discussed the emerging, and much needed concept of inclusive green growth in the business sector. It emphasizes on creating economic values for social and environmental goods as a signal to the business sector that there is an abundant of economic opportunity in investing in inclusive green economy. Value of landscape and culture are often disregarded and overshadowed by goods that already have clear monetary value such as log, oil, coal, and other highly demanded, but depleting natural resources. Like Gajah Tunggal, inclusive green growth is achievable through effective collaboration between the government and industry companies. Government ought to provide regulations and practices as guidelines, however it has to be feasible and that they do not impede the growth of individual companies. It is indeed a two-way street; business sector‘s role is to invest in inclusive green growth by providing skilled workers through capacity building and financially support the implementation of green strategy. Creating economic value for intangible goods and cooperation between sectors and government are the two fundamental steps in attaining a stable inclusive green growth. There are many hurdles to overcome to successfully regulate and invest in inclusive green growth. Firstly, it is challenging to put value on intangible goods. The lack of, or even non-existent, economic/monetary value of landscape and culture makes it unattractive for companies and investors to invest. It requires a lot of resources to realize these commodities‘ values – research, skilled human capital and developed technologies are few the tools necessary to measure value of intangible goods. It is a difficult cycle to break because companies and investors do not want to invest in these tools as they are not inform about the true economic opportunities that lie in these intangible goods. It is a common misconception that research and development regarding inclusive green growth to be more costly than beneficial. Nonetheless, industries need to realize that the cost is only higher in the short-run, however beneficial in the long-run. Furthermore, industries also need to realize the importance of balance between production and protection of social and environment. Generally, there is an urgent need for a paradigm shift towards a greener vision and production. All in all, the challenges lie upon lack of investment flow for research and development which leads to the shortage of demand in investing for green and inclusive but intangible goods. Moreover, industries need to balance its production and this feasible if they only focus on short-term benefits therefore it is necessary for paradigm shift to occur within these industries.
Sustainable Business Dialogue. 27 November 2013 On 27th November 2013, GIZ, Kadin, and IBCSD held a dialogue pertaining Sustainable Business, with the support of Ministry of Environment and Industry. The dialogue is aimed to reconcile corporate success with the responsibility for future generations. The aim is to gather over 150 Indonesian and international business representatives to participate in a one-day conference to continue the promotion of sustainable business in Indonesia, while creating a suitable ground for new business opportunities to grow. The discussion was on green solution for the manufacturing sector, incentive to improve business and environmental performance, market access and greening trade relations, and sustainable consumption and production in modern era. There is a great expectation for the government to create policy and regulations to support green technology - incentive is one of the mechanisms. Meanwhile the business sector, such as BNI, Holcim Indonesia, and RAPP present at the forum, showed their interest to be more sustainable. This is shown through their internal policy, research, and sustainable practices. Question still rise on how they can support the government agenda as it remains considerably unclear. Obstacle also occurs in market. Mr. Riza Suarga, the CEO of PT Pratamakarya Mitra Selaras said that standardization of trade is important, as well as the importance of Indonesia National Certification for palm oil, forestry etc. There should be a sense of urgency to embed sustainability ideology into the Indonesian culture. There was an update for Sustainable Consumption Production (SCP) as part of sustainable business issue. It was explained that Indonesia already has a roadmap plan called the ‗10 Years SCP Indonesia‘. Moreover, Indonesia has model of SCP Action Plan, and Roadmap for 2013-2023, as well as showing national partnership. Through this dialogue, it is shown that partnership and network should be developed for joint initiative. It is beneficial to exchange best practices in implementing mitigation actions in their business as well as to identify drivers for change. Through these interactions, it is feasible that entrepreneurs and political decision-makers to establish sustainable business best-practices and regulations.

WBCSD Column UNEP Report Describes Urgent Need to Address E-Waste With growth of e-waste in developing countries expected to multiply by 2020, the report identifies technologies that can increase recycling rates and generate jobs in a low-carbon economy.
Because of individual or corporate initiatives, sustainable technologies exist that, when combined with national and international policies, can create new businesses and green jobs, according to the report.
Energy efficiency measures such as recycling have often been described as the "lowhanging fruit" of climate change mitigation efforts. Described in a 2009 report by McKinsey & Company as ―an emissions-free energy resource,‘‘ efficiency measure such as recycling can lead to cost savings and improved returns on investment, as well as significant abatement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
"The future success of technological innovation in environments with strong informal participation strongly depends on alternative business models with financial incentives," the report concludes.
A report published last month by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) describes the urgent need to address ewaste, which includes PCs and laptop computers, printes, mobile phones, pagers, digital photo and music devices, refrigerators, toys, and televisions. Global ewaste generation is growing by about 40 million tons a year, according to the UNEP report. The need to address e-waste will be especially urgent in developing countries, where much of the e-waste from developed countries is currently being discarded, and whose own production of e-waste is expected to multiply by 2020. China, for example, currently produces about 2.3 million tons of e -waste per year, second only to the US. By 2020, China's e-waste production from computers will increase by as much as 400% over 2007 levels, while e-waste from mobile phones will be about seven times higher. The report used data from 11 representative developing countries to estimate current and future e-waste generation. China is also a major dumping ground for ewaste from developed countries. According to the report, most e-waste in China is improperly handled, leading to emissions of toxic pollutants and very low metal recovery rates. Achim Steiner, the Executive Director of UNEP, said, "This report gives new urgency to establishing ambitious, formal and regulated processes for collecting and managing e-waste via the setting up of large, efficient facilities in China." He continued, "Boosting developing country e -waste recycling rates can have the potential to generate decent employment, cut greenhouse gas emissions and recover a wide range of valuable metals including silver, gold, palladium, copper and indium." Konrad Osterwalder, UN Under-Secretary General, said, "The challenge of dealing with e-waste represents an important step in the transition to a green economy."
The electronics industry, through the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), has published a Code of Conduct directing participants to minimize adverse effects on the community, environment, and natural resources. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) companies, through the Global eSustainability Initiative (GeSI), has an eWaste Initiative that encourages more efficient use, and more extensive re-use, of materials by viewing e-waste as a valuable resource. In the US, activist shareowners have been engaging with electronics companies on the issue of e-waste for years.

Policy WASTE MANAGEMENT: UNDERSTANDING AND ADAPTATION For centuries Indonesians have utilized organic materials for many basic daily priorities. People employed simple resources long before there was ever a green initiative, or any organized notion of responsible environmental activism. Foliage that people had forever found in their own backyards, such as banana leaves, were sanitary and convenient. Sustainable use of nature was a part of everyday life. After serving its purpose, organic ‗rubbish‘ was easily disposed of with little environmental consequence. This was never considered irresponsible behavior.
INDONESIA‘S GROWTH AND POTENTIAL. Indonesia‘s dynamic industrial sector has underpinned consistent economic growth for decades. The nation has secured steady foreign investment momentum. This, however, comes with its own costs and consequences. There are inescapable fees surrounding major issues concerning industrial waste management and the broader environmental impact of business on the ecosystem. With continued economic expansion and ongoing population growth, Indonesia must anticipate greater waste management responsibility in the future. One JICA study estimates that Times have changed. For example, plastic overtook Indonesia should expect a population of over 280 banana leaves as a preferred means of preserving million people by 2025, collectively generating food and other commodities. There is no question 62.44 million tons of waste annually. More about the utility of plastic. It is irreplaceable and specifically, a UNEP study concluded certain here to stay. Yet the convenience of plastic brings strategic industries are most responsible for the about other questions, such as, how to dispose of largest quantities of Indonesia‘s hazardous waste: all the leftover waste. Unlike flora, most plastic manufacture of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, metal waste is not biodegradable, and it is rarely recycled. refinery and metal fabrication, petroleum, coal, Neither private nor public agencies are investing rubber, and plastics. These industries are expected sufficiently in the systems needed to increase to increase their commitments to disposal, plastic recycling rates. What can be done? After recycling, and management of toxic waste. surviving millenniums without plastic, Indonesians can assist the nation‘s struggle with waste INVESTMENT AND BUSINESS IN WASTE management by returning to some of the behaviors MANAGEMENT. Industrial investments in Indonesia of the past – when daily use of organic materials are growing and will inexorably have environmental was common, convenient, and environmentally consequences. Waste management has emerged friendly.

Many corporations manage assets that are collectively larger than the gross national product of certain countries. Some of the largest companies employ more people than the entire citizenry of small nations. Given their economic mass, large companies are very influential in helping shape government policy. Most governments are enthusiastic about encouraging private industry insight, but in order to offer productive suggestions, businesses in turn also need to solicit community input.

Page 6 BUSINESS LEADERSHIP IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
The safe waste movement Holcim is pioneering the dissemination of new safe driving standards for national use in all its business activities. For Geocycle in particular this represents a sustainable way to expand responsible waste management and a commitment to contribute to road safety – in partnership with customers.
Special delivery Every day special truck deliveries of an unusual kind arrive at the Holcim Cement plant at Narogong, West Java. ―We receive tons and tons of waste,‖ says Muhammad Amin, Permitting & Compliance Manager of the company‘s Geocycle unit. Both in hazardous and non-hazardous forms, secure in special containers, these discarded materials from a plethora of industrial manufacturing processes actually play a key role in the cement company‘s commitment to operate sustainably and efficiently. And the process of getting them there has become another way for Holcim to contribute both directly and through its customers, to corporate social responsibility. Industrial magic ‗What,‘ you may ask, ‗do waste and cement have in common?‘ The answer lies in the very clever way in which Geocycle processes selected waste types to recover energy, as an alternative fuel for the cement kiln – a key element in the cement manufacturing process. In other cases, such as ash from boilers, cementitious properties in the waste are captured, thereby reducing the levels of natural limestone needed. As a result the company is able to conserve a natural resource while still being able to meet the ever-rising demand for bulk and bagged cement. So, instead of leaving such waste untreated in landfills or illegal dumps where it can become a pollutant to the air, soil and water table, Holcim is contributing to eradicating pollution and assisting Geocycle customers to preserve their reputation. In sustainable development terms, the company is recovering value from both energy and chemistry, which might otherwise be lost forever.
opportunity to handle their waste, but a range of on-site services - from waste water treatment to one stop site consulting - allowing customers to completely outsource their waste management needs. Setting the benchmark The logistics involved in delivering the waste to Holcim‘s processing centre on Java, is a crucial exercise in itself, and quite recently Geocycle took the initiative to develop a set of guidelines on safe and secure road transportation. Taking almost a year in development and detailed consultation with the Directorate of Land Transportation, Ministry of Transport, Holcim has produced a ‗Safety Driver Handbook for Hazardous Waste Transporters.‘ This is the first and only complete guide of its kind. The guidelines cover the full range of transportation activities, from vehicle preparation and mandated safety equipment to defensive driving techniques, driver physical fitness and maximum driving shift times. It is comprehensive in covering every detail from accident prevention to prescription, including proper response procedures in the event of a waste spill. At the official launch, Vincent Aloysius, Geocycle Country Manager expressed the desire that the considerable effort to create the book would be rewarded in its widest use, to help make the roads safer place. ‗We believe,‘ he said, ‗the handbook will contribute to promote greater awareness of road safety.‘ Reactions to the Geocycle Safety Driver Handbook Hotma Simanjuntak, Director for Land Transportation, on hand for the book launch, gave his full support for this initiative. Indonesia‘s road traffic accidents remain a real concern, given the rising numbers of vehicles on crowded roads. In the five years to the end of 2012, Government statistics record average growth of over 20 per cent a year in road accidents and 26 per cent in the number of vehicles involved. Worst of all, the number of victims has doubled to over 197,000 in 2012 from 82,500 in 2007. Mr. Simanjuntak commented, ‗My highest appreciation goes to the Geocycle team at Holcim for this initiative, you have shown your concern and responsibility for the safe aspects of waste transportation.‘ Living our Values This initiative is a practical demonstration of Holcim‘s vision in Indonesia of ‗building
sustainable solutions for society‘s future‘ and its mission, particularly the statement ‗caring for safety and the environment.‘ But it goes a lot further than words. It has resulted in vital behavioural change for the good. Over the last 12 months Geocycle and its customers have achieved delivery of thousand of tons of waste Multiple opportunities across thousands of miles of roads to celebrate Across Indonesia companies are responding to the best result possible: a zero harm safety record. For when all is said and done, the Government regulations to address rising concerns on the potential damage that waste of protection of people is demonstrably the all types can do to the environment and nearby highest value one can place on a business that chooses to help its customers operate communities as the economy grows. To meet such a corporate responsibility, they seek the sustainably. help of Geocycle who provide, not just the

Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia (CCAI) started Bali Beach Clean Up (BBCU) program in 2008 to reduce rubbish in Bali‘s coastal areas, to strengthen Indonesia‘s tourism industry. Since 2008 the program has strengthened CCAI relationship with Balinese local community with creating 74 local job opportunities. Every day, CCAI beach crew cleans up 9,7 km coastal area along the coastline in Bali. With 74 dedicated beach clean-up crew, 4 tractors, 3 trucks and more than 600 bins placement; we have removed over 14.000 tons of rubbish since the program started. After partnering with Quiksilver since 2008, in 2012, CCAI further strengthened its program by adding Garuda Indonesia airlines to the partnership. This has allowed us to add 2 Beach Clean-up Rakes that can pick up small items such as cigarette butts that their initial tractors could not collect. In 2013 alone, the program has picked up over 1 million kg of waste off the five beaches of Kuta, Jimbaran, Legian, Seminyak, and Kedonganan, adding to the total of over 14.000 tons of rubbish collected since the program started five years ago. And as the beaches have become cleaner there has been a noticeable increase in the number of Sea Turtles returning to these beaches to lay eggs. Our program also supports the Bali Sea Turtle Society who has cared for and returned more than 50,000 hatchlings to their habitat in Kuta beach since 2011.
