Historical Context

KfW has been active in Indonesia's waste sector for over six years as of the article's publication. The article was originally published on 22 January 2019 and updated on 5 March 2025. The Clean Oceans Initiative was launched in mid-October 2018 alongside EIB and AFD. The program was prompted in part by Indonesia's pledge at COP 23 (November 2017) to reduce plastic waste by 70% by 2025.
