Major changes in legislation/policy since 2016
There have been no major changes in legislation since 2016.

No particular actors such as public sector actors or trade associations are specifically in charge of ELT Management. However, the Indonesia Tire Manufacturer Association (ITMA), also known as Asosiasi Perusahaan Ban Indonesia (APBI), is involved in the topic.
Main ELT recovery methods, products and applications (expressed as a % of total ELT generated)
- Pyrolysis is the main recovery route in Indonesia. It is understood that the primary purpose is to produce oil as TDF for industry.
- ELT is also used as TDF for the manufacturing of bricks.
- 15% Of ELT are sent towards material recovery, mainly granulation companies.
Impacts on health and on the environment
- No research/information on impacts on health and the environment in Indonesia, apart from concerns regarding emissions identified near brick manufacturers.
Technological innovations
- Material: Studies on rubber-modified asphalt (2018); use Of woven waste tires for material reinforcement (2017); soundproof characteristics of reclaimed tire rubber (2016).
Opportunities and drivers
- ITMA will be initiating discussions with the Ministry of Environment on a potential plan for ELT management.
Barriers and challenges
- As the country is formed of many islands, this creates logistical issues, and high transportation costs.
- Lack of awareness on ELT recycling at all levels (government, manufacturer, retailer and consumer).
