JAKARTA - The problem of waste was mentioned by President Prabowo Subianto on several occasions. Most recently, President Prabowo mentioned it in the agenda of the 2026 National Coordination Meeting of the Central and Regional Governments.

The Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, Professor Brian Yuliarto at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Wednesday, February 11, said President Prabowo had given instructions that the micro-scale waste processing technology developed by a number of campuses be accelerated and immediately tested this year.

According to Brian, the scheme will run with Danantara and involve coordination with the Ministry of Environment. The technology discussed is still in the selection stage, ranging from gasification to plasma-assisted and cold plasma.

Unlike the waste to energy scheme, Brian emphasized that this micro-processing does not produce electricity and is not for sale to PLN. The output is in the form of sand or dust that can be used as a mixture of materials, such as for sidewalks or cement.
