1. The Global Plastic Action Partnership:
A Multi-stakeholder Approach to
Reduce Indonesia’s marine
plastic leakage 70% by 2025
15 December 2020

2. Global Plastic Action Partnership 2
Indonesia faces a mounting
plastic waste crisis.
Despite major commitments from government, industry and civil society, the flow of plastic waste into
the country’s water bodies is projected to grow by 30% between 2017 and 2025. Recognizing the
urgent need to take bold, unprecedented action on plastic pollution, Indonesia became the first
nation to join the World Economic Forum’s Global Plastic Action Partnership in March 2019.
4.8m $10b70%
70% of Indonesia’s plastic waste, an
estimated 4.8 million tonnes per
year, is considered mismanaged.
Around $18 billion in capital
investment is needed between
2017 and 2040 to fully implement
the Indonesia Multistakeholder
Action Plan; in return, this is
expected to generate up to $10
billion in revenue annually.
Indonesia has pledged to reduce
marine plastic leakage by 70% by
2025 through investing in five areas:
reduction; substitution; collection;
disposal; and recycling.

3. Global Plastic Action Partnership 3
A game-changing national
action plan on plastics
Over the course of a year, the NPAP developed
the Multistakeholder Action Plan – Indonesia’s first
comprehensive, costed analysis of solutions to address
plastic pollution through a systems change approach. The
action plan was informed and supported through buy-in
from a broad cross-section of business, government and
civil society.
The Action Plan was officially launched in April 2020; a
companion Financing Roadmap was published in
November.
Over 70 organizations are collaborating through five Task
Forces in the areas of financing, innovation, policy,
behavioural change, and metrics, to put the proposed
solutions in the Action Plan into motion. Contact us at
