EXPLANATION
OF
REGULATION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF INDONESIA
NUMBER 101 OF 2014
CONCERNING
HAZARDOUS AND TOXIC WASTE MANAGEMENT
I.

GENERAL

Hazardous and toxic (B3) waste directly discharged into the environment may cause hazard to the
environment and human health and be detrimental to other living creatures. Considering the risk,
efforts must be made for each operations and/or activity to produce as minimum amount of
hazardous waste as possible and prevent the entry of hazardous waste from outside Indonesian
territory.
The hazardous waste management is meant for a minimum of hazardous waste to be produced by
the respective production units and in fact attempted to be nil, by endeavouring a reduction at the
source in processing of materials, substituting materials , regulating activity operations, and using
clean technology. In the event that hazardous waste is still produced, efforts will be made to utilize
the hazardous waste.
Hazardous waste utilization encompasses the activities of reuse, recycle, and recovery, which are
important links in the hazardous waste management chain. Reuse is re-using hazardous waste for
the same function or different function without going through additional chemical, physical,
biological, and/or thermal processes. Hazardous Waste recycling consists of useful recycling
activities through additional processes with chemical, physical, biological and/or thermal means
generating similar products, different products, and/ or useful materials. While recovery consists
of activities to recover useful components through chemical, physical, biological, and/or thermal
process.
With hazardous waste utilization technology on one hand the quantity of hazardous waste may be
reduced so that the cost of hazardous waste treatment can also be suppressed and on the other
hand can increase the usefulness of raw material. This will in turn reduce the speed at which
natural resources are depleted.
To eliminate or reduce risk that may arise from hazardous waste produced the hazardous waste
produced needs to be managed with consideration.
Integrated management of Hazardous Waste is necessary as it may be detrimental to the health of
humans, other living creatures, and the environment unless management is done properly.
Therefore, the Government Regulation concerning Hazardous Waste Management is required in
integrated manner regulating the connection between each node of Hazardous Waste Management,
namely activities of storage, collecting, transport, processing, utilization, and stockpiling of
Hazardous Waste. The significance of formulating the Government Regulation in definite manner
is also mentioned in Agenda 21 Indonesia, National Strategy for Sustainable Development and as
implementation of Article 59 paragraph (7) Act Number 32 Year 2009 concerning Environmental
Protection and Management.
Hazardous waste management is a series of activities encompassing storage, collecting, utilizing,
transporting, and treatment of hazardous waste including stockpiling the treated products. In the
series of activities involving several parties, in which each party is a link in the chain, comprising
of:
GR101_2014

a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.

Hazardous Waste Producer;

Hazardous Waste Collector;
Hazardous Waste Transporter;
Hazardous Waste Utilize;
Hazardous Waste Processor; and
Hazardous Waste Disposer.

To ensure that each link in the chain of Hazardous Waste Management as mentioned above is
carried out properly, accurately, and in accordance with the objectives and requirements of
Hazardous Waste Management, Hazardous Waste Management shall be complemented with
permits consisting of:
a.
Waste Management Permit for Hazardous Waste Storage activities;
b.
Waste Management Permit for Hazardous Waste Collecting activities;
c.
Waste Management Permit for Hazardous Waste Transport activities;
d.
Waste Management Permit for Hazardous Waste Utilization activities;
e.
Waste Management Permit for Hazardous Waste Processing activities; and
f.
Waste Management Permit for Hazardous Waste Stockpiling activities.
The Hazardous Waste Management Permit is an administrative preventive instrument, which may
be issued as 1 (one) integrated permit by the Minister, governor, or regent/mayor according to
their authority based on the application for permit, with the exception of Waste Management
Permit for Hazardous Waste Transport activities.
Hazardous Waste Dumping is the last alternative in Hazardous Waste Management. Limitation of
types of Hazardous Waste that may be dumped at sea is meant to protect the marine ecosystem
and prevent Environmental Pollution and Environmental Degradation at sea since sea water is a
medium that will easily and quickly spread contaminants and/ or pollutants. Hazardous Waste
dumping at sea are only done if Hazardous Waste produced from activities at sea are unable to be
processed on land due to environmental, technical and economic considerations.
In order to conduct Hazardous Waste Dumping, requirements must be fulfilled related to type and
quality of Hazardous Waste and location, so that Hazardous Waste Dumping will not be
detrimental to the health of humans, other living creatures, and the environment.

number of molecules of hazardous waste compound entering the hazardous waste
treatment system by thermal means.
Principle Organic Hazardous Constituents (POHCs) compounds are hazardous and
toxic substances that do not easily decompose. POHCs compounds are generally
contained in hazardous waste so that it is used as a method to know destruction
