Application Checklist

Eligibility

Applicant must be the Government of Indonesia (sovereign borrower) or an ADB member state government for the $500M loan component
Private sector blue loan (e.g., $44.2M to PT ALBA Tridi) requires applicant to be a registered corporate entity with plastics recycling operations

Project Scope

Project scope must relate to marine plastic debris reduction, solid waste management, or plastics recycling in Indonesia or SE Asia
Regional SE Asia plastic pollution component ($100M) is available across multiple SE Asian countries — country eligibility follows ADB membership criteria

Required Documents

Projects must comply with ADB's Environmental and Social Requirements and safeguard policies
Private sector applicants must submit feasibility documentation, financial statements, and environmental compliance records for ADB non-sovereign operations review

Constraints

NGOs and civil society organizations are not eligible as primary borrowers — participation is limited to roles as implementing partners or subcontractors
Financing is in the form of loans (sovereign and non-sovereign), not grants — recipients must demonstrate repayment capacity

Historical Context

ADB has operated in Indonesia for decades and has a standing portfolio of environmental and infrastructure programs. The plastic marine debris program appears to be an expansion/continuation of prior investments. The $100M regional SE Asia plastic pollution component suggests this is part of a rolling programmatic commitment rather than a one-time project.

Why it was added

Direct ADB funding for plastic waste reduction and recycling in SE Asia, core to plastic-circular theme
