Data from Indonesia’s National Waste Management Information System showed the country produced 19 million tons of waste in 2022, of which 18.2 percent was plastic. Under GRADASI, the congregation of mosques can donate waste such as glass, metal cans, paperboard, and of course, plastic in drop boxes provided by mosques.
Suhapli admitted the response to the initiative was mixed in the beginning, with some of the congregation worried this would make mosques dirty. GRADASI also supports efforts to achieve the “Zero Waste 2050” target. The government aims to reduce planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions in the domestic solid waste sub-sector by no longer sending solid waste to landfills by mid-century. This will contribute to Indonesia’s commitment of reaching net zero emissions by 2060 or sooner.
In Al Muharram Mosque, Yogyakarta, the profit from GRADASI is used to help the less fortunate and orphans. “[Through Kolekte Sampah], there has been real action from the church towards the waste problem that is not only in the form of appeal, education, or study, and the congregation appreciates that.”Roadblocks along the way
