"A growing population and an increase in urban commerce and industry have given Jakarta a serious waste problem. Solid waste management has been identified as an important issue and while attention has traditionally focused on the provision of infrastructure, facilities and equipment, alternative approaches merit consideration. These include the promotion of waste reduction, reuse and recycling. The 'Clean up Jakarta Bay' initiative was launched in 1996 with UNESCO support."
