Existing production and consumption patterns worldwide are mainly based on a linear commodity economy. Especially Single-Use Plastic ends up as waste after a short and single-use with disastrous consequences for marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
To address the plastic crisis in Southeast Asia, the GIZ project module CAP-SEA (Collaborative Action for Single-Use Plastic Prevention in Southeast Asia) supports reducing plastic waste and promoting reusable packaging systems in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia by focusing on upstream approaches and embedding those in broader circular economy strategy advice to the partner governments. CAP-SEA is funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) and is part of the global project to support the “Export Initiative for Green Technologies”.
GIZ intends to support the Government of Indonesia (GoI) implementing and institutionalizing Single-Use Plastic prevention strategies. This includes capacity development, training measures, knowledge dissemination, and the implementation of pilot projects amongst other things. To deliver the impact of reducing single-use products and plastic waste CAP-SEA in Indonesia will work with various line ministries and stakeholders, and conduct knowledge management with Thailand and Malaysia.
