In 2022, Project STOP’s first city partnership in Muncar, also located in the Banyuwangi regency in East Java, achieved all financial, governance and technical targets, thereby demonstrating that pub- lic-private partnerships can work to permanently reduce waste and plastics leakage into the environ- ment and ocean. This success was further built on in Pasuruan, proving that the Project STOP model is sustainable and scalable. The inauguration of Balak Materi- al Recovery Facility will continue the ambition to scale. The target is to reach 250,000 residents. The Banyuwangi Regency, where Muncar and Bal- ak are located, lies east on the island of Java, which is one of the important economic centers in Indo- nesia, and home of more than half of Indonesia’s population. This effort as a whole aims to contrib- ute to Indonesia’s national commitment to reduce marine plastic pollution by 70 percent by 2025.
