Bandung Focuses on Infrastructure Before Deploying 151 Waste Processing Units

Jun, 15 2026

The Bandung City Government is currently preparing supporting infrastructure and ensuring community readiness before receiving waste processing machines from the West Java Provincial Government.

Bandung Mayor M. Farhan stated that the city administration is focusing on establishing the necessary infrastructure before accepting the waste processing machines.

The required infrastructure includes a minimum of 100 square meters of land at each location, as well as enclosed facilities to prevent potential environmental issues.

“Before receiving waste processing machines for 151 urban villages, we must first prepare the sites. We need at least 100 square meters of land at each location, complete with enclosed buildings, along with sociological readiness from local residents,” Farhan said in Bandung on Thursday (June 11, 2026).

Farhan emphasized that adequate supporting infrastructure is essential because each machine is expected to process approximately five tons of waste per day. Without properly designed facilities and sufficient air circulation, the waste processing activities could negatively affect the comfort of nearby residents.

“When five tons of waste arrive every day, it must not create environmental disturbances. That is not an easy task. Therefore, before the machines are delivered, we must first prepare the necessary infrastructure,” he said.

Regarding the funding scheme for the waste processing machines, Farhan explained that the costs will be shared between the provincial and municipal governments.

The West Java Provincial Government will fully finance the procurement of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) waste processing units, which convert waste into fuel briquettes.

Meanwhile, the Bandung City Government will be responsible for providing the land, constructing protective facilities, and conducting public outreach and community engagement programs.

“We are currently preparing the infrastructure in all 151 urban villages. One village will receive one machine. I believe the technology is RDF, although I have not seen the units myself yet. The machines will be fully funded by the provincial government, while the infrastructure will be provided by the city government,” he added.

Bekasi, Karawang, and Subang: West Java Affected by Industrial Area Thuggery, Foreign Investment Impacted

TRIBUNJABAR.ID, BANDUNG – The phenomenon of thuggery (premanisme) in industrial areas is increasingly worrying. Several strategic locations in Indonesia such as Tangerang, Bekasi, Karawang, as well as regions in Central and East Java are frequently under the spotlight. Even new industrial zones like Subang in West Java, which should be new economic growth centers, are not spared from the impact. This was revealed by Deputy Chairperson of the Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo), Sanny Iskandar, who emphasized that this situation is not only a nightmare for business actors but also significantly affects foreign investment flows. According to him, this disruption is not a small matter because its effects broadly hinder the pace of the national economy. “The losses are not only in numbers experienced by business players currently operating but also the losses experienced by the country due to the blocked potential investments that should have come in,” said Sanny in a statement in Jakarta, reported by Kompas.com on Wednesday (July 30, 2025). As Chairman of the Industrial Estate Association (HKI), Sanny revealed that similar complaints have come from various other industrial areas in Indonesia. Not only Subang, which is currently linked with large projects like BYD, but also Batam in the Riau Islands, has begun to experience similar disturbances. “Even new areas like Subang, which was recently connected to BYD and related projects, are also affected by this thuggery. It extends to the Riau Islands, especially Batam. This is very disturbing,” he explained. According to Sanny, the root of proliferating thuggery in industrial areas cannot be separated from labor issues. Limited job opportunities, high layoffs (PHK), and some parties’ unpreparedness to face market challenges contribute to this problem. “There is indeed a correlation, besides the need for alertness from security apparatus that is still required,” said Sanny. Therefore, Apindo urges the government together with law enforcement to tighten supervision and firmly act against thuggery practices. This step is considered important to create a safe, conducive business climate capable of attracting more investors to invest in Indonesia. [SOURCE]

It is hoped that the West Java-Heilongjiang Business Meeting will increase investment realization

Bandung (ANTARA) - The West Java Provincial Government hopes that a business meeting between West Java business actors and a delegation from Heilongjiang Province, China, in Bandung, Tuesday, will increase the opportunity for investment realization in the Bamboo Curtain Country in West Java. Head of the West Java Industry and Trade Service (Disperindag), Noneng Komara Nengsih, revealed that during the activity at one of the hotels there were members of the delegation who were interested in investing in West Java. "There are those who express interest. West Java itself always opens its doors as wide as possible for investors to enter and open a business. From anywhere, as long as it meets the permits, it is very possible to invest," said Noneng in Bandung. Some of West Java's potential that is a factor in attracting investors to enter, he said, is related to high technology, both electronic equipment and food technology. "Because it is already advanced there. Maybe we should study the technology," he said. In this business meeting, 40 business actors from West Java met together with 34 delegates from Heliongjiang Province, with several processed food products, agricultural commodities such as coffee and herbs, as well as handicrafts being offered. It is hoped that from this event investors will be interested in buying, thereby increasing the number of West Java exports abroad. It is known that in 2023 it is targeted that investment realization in West Java will reach IDR 188.03 trillion and will reach around IDR 210.6 trillion. The West Java Provincial Government is optimistic that the 2024 investment target of up to IDR 250 trillion can be achieved by reflecting on West Java investment realization in 2023. (SOURCE)
