Delterra partnered with the Badung Regency Department of Environment and Hygiene and the Minderoo Foundation to scale an integrated waste management system across Badung Regency, Bali. Moving beyond fragmented village-by-village interventions, the program connected village-level TPS3R facilities with regency-level TPST infrastructure to create a coordinated waste ecosystem focused on behavior change, operational optimization, policy alignment, and long-term institutional ownership.
- The program engaged 20 institutions and communities
- Reached more than 12,000 people through behavior change interventions
- Trained over 300 waste workers and government staff
- Supported more than 15 villages in improving waste collection and sortation systems
Through the expansion of the “No Sorting, No Collection” enforcement model, household waste separation rates increased up to 12 times in intervention areas, while public waste management budgets increased by 20–50 percent across participating governments. Operational improvements also enabled the diversion of approximately 2,000 tons of organic waste and an additional 120 tons of recyclables, with the potential to avoid up to 24,000 tons of CO₂e annually once facilities reach full operational capacity. Anchored in government partnership, capability building, monitoring systems, and community-led education, the program is now progressing toward full government handover in 2026, positioning Badung Regency as a scalable model for systemic waste transformation in Indonesia.
