DENPASAR - Bali Regional Secretary (Sekda) Dewa Made Indra began conducting inspections at regional apparatus offices to ensure that all employees used tumblers.

"This inspection has been started since yesterday to coincide with the date of the implementation of Circular Letter Number 2 of 2025 which regulates restrictions on the onset of single-use plastic waste," he said, Wednesday, February 5.

The Regional Secretary has conducted inspections of 10 offices including the Tourism Office; Education, Youth and Sports; and the Office of Communication, Informatics, and Statistics, and saw that the single-use plastic bottle was replaced with a bottle.

"There have been ten regional apparatus that have been checked and checked in each room," said Dewa Indra.

He appreciated the head of regional apparatus that socialized this directive to his staff, ranging from submitting it through morning apples to distributing strikes directly to his staff.

The Regional Secretary also appreciated employees within the Bali Provincial Government who immediately implemented their mandatory directives starting last Monday (3/2), although there are still directives regarding the use of appropriate drinking bottles according to the plastic waste reduction mission.

"I recommend the use of tumbler made from stainless, if you use a tumbler made from plastic, make sure it is BPA-free," he said.

During the inspection, Dewa Indra explained that the Bali Provincial Government must be an example for the community in reducing single-use plastic waste, especially since Bali has recently been hit by many serious waste problems and disrupts tourism.

"If we want to invite people to reduce the use of single-use plastic, then we must be an example first," he said.

In addition to the 10 OPDs in the past three days, the Dewa Indra Regional Secretary said that he would continue to tour directly to carry out inspections to ensure that employees comply.

"We want to ensure that all regional devices are completely free from single-use plastic waste, the Bali Provincial Government hopes to create a more environmentally friendly work environment as well as provide a real example for the Balinese people," he said.
