Country Overview
With a population around 250 million, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country and is a home to the world’s 16th largest economy. The speed and scale of urban growth is astounding, 53% of population lives in cities, not only producing 74% of GDP but also at least 200.000 tonnes of waste per day.
The management of waste is becoming a major problem in Indonesia as the cities are growing even faster than the infrastructure development.

Opportunities for waste management companies to provide waste-to-energy solutions in 7 Indonesian cities.
Management of waste is becoming a major problem in Indonesia. Early this year the Indonesian government issued Presidential Decree No. 18 of 2016 to accelerate the development of waste-to-energy in 7 cities, namely:
- Jakarta
- Tangerang
- Bandung
- Semarang
- Surakarta
- Surabaya
- Makassar
Currently Indonesia is facing difficulties in implementing PPP projects due to the complexity of tender process. However, this regulation provides a shortcut and allows the city mayors to directly appoint developers for waste-to-energy projects, creating immediate opportunities. To that end, the government seeks participation by companies providing waste-to-energy technologies besides incineration, such as gasification and pyrolysis. A minimum 1000 tonnes of waste per day will be processed, and the State Utility guarantees the purchase of electricity produced by the facility. Under the Waste Law, the government will finance waste management activities from the state/regional budget. In addition, Feed in Tariff for electricity generated from Municipal Waste is available at between US$ 18,77 to 22,43 cents per kiloWatt Hour.

UKTI Singapore
Singapore has a Water and Waste high value opportunity in market:
The Deep Tunnel Sewerage System Phase 2 is comprised of a co-located Integrated Waste Management Facility (IWMF) as well as a Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) which are integrated with one another. The project also includes construction of a 40km sewer tunnel as well as over 60km of link sewers.
UKTI is currently working on engaging the UK supply chain for both water and waste elements of the project and educating companies on the opportunities in the market. Key procurement timelines should be shared and understood this year so that UK companies can position themselves to bid or partner. New exporters can access these market opportunities if they have sufficient time to partner or to register a business entity in Singapore.
Waste-to-energy: The country is proactively looking for innovative and efficient solutions to employ in its future incineration plants
Food Waste: Singapore, has a serious issue with food waste. Even though the country recycles a respectable 60% of its waste, only 13% of food waste is recycled. The Government is trying to implement technological and policy level interventions to tackle the issue.
Innovative technologies: The NEA is looking for companies offering innovative solutions in the waste management sector. Due to manpower issues, the Government is scouting for technologies such as automated cleaning vehicles for premises, automated street cleaning vehicles etc.
E-Waste: One of the major issues affecting Singapore is the high levels of e-waste being generated every year (around 60 million kg in2014). Only a fraction of that is recycled or disposed of properly. In order to address the issue, NEA is studying the option of having a regulated national system to collect, recycle and manage e-waste.
Other opportunities: NEA is also assessing ways to reduce domestic waste generated in the country. Singapore saw a 1 percentage point drop to 19 per cent in the domestic recycling rate in 2014. Companies could also look at offering solutions that assist households improve their recycling capacity. Another area of focus the re-use of ash produced as a result of the incineration of waste.
Types of Suppliers Nicola is keen to meet include:- Water & Waste Infrastructure – Engineering consultancies/ Other specialist consultancies (Project Management, Environmental Impact Assessment etc)
- Supply Chain – Valves/Pipes/Pumps/Cable Systems/Process Equipment
- Waste 2 Energy Technology Companies
- Automation – Bailers, Sorters, automated systems of any kind( including software platforms)
Singapore is a small wealthy city state with increasing issues around land scarcity and rising waste levels.
The country has a land area of approx 700sq km with the Government currently reclaiming a great deal of land to accommodate infrastructure growth
Ideally Singapore sits along where the major east/west shipping lanes converge making it a natural focal point for trade. As such Singapore boasts a very pro business, open economy that is often seen as the barometer for global trade. The country is often seen as a natural gateway into SEA’s 600 million residents, boasting a low tax and low political risk environment.
Singapore is positioning itself as a “Clean Technology” hub for the South East Asia region and engages/invests in foreign companies who are looking to test bed of develop their innovations in the market.

UKTI Thailand
Opportunities for UK companies:
Thai government support waste2energy projects by offering incentives for renewable energy in the form of Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) schemes.
Thailand Overview
The Thai government has an aggressive master plan to provide at least 25% of total domestic energy consumption from renewable sources by the year 2022.
Thailand produces about 14.5 million tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) per year. Over the past 12 years the government has increased the budget for local administrations to collect and dispose solid waste. However, the disposal of municipal solid waste remains a major problem. There are about 100 proper landfill sites across the country but these only have the capacity to dispose of 45% of the total waste. In the rural provincial areas, only 5% of solid waste can be properly disposed. The rest is disposed by open dumping, open burning or left over at the dumping sites. The increase in personal consumption that creates MSW indicates that Thailand has high potential in converting MSW into energy.
