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.

John Tingle is the Trade Team Manager for UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) in the East of England (Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire). A Chartered Chemical Engineer by training he has worked at senior level in many different process industries for companies such as Suez, Morrison Construction, PCI (now Black and Veatch) and Bord na Mona. A specialist in the Environmental and Low Carbon sectors John’s experience is principally in water and wastewater treatment (including leachate treatment) and also includes composting and anaerobic treatment of waste in a career spanning more than 40 years.

Major projects in planning include:

• Design and Construction of a Water Desalination Plant at Tseung Kwan O and associated infrastructure (project cost c. £1bn)
• Relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works (c. £2½bn)
• Waste Treatment (Food Waste, Waste to Energy, Integrated Waste Management Facility, etc) and Disposal Facilities (c. £1bn+)
• Water Main Replacement and Rehabilitation / Water Intelligent Network (WIN) (c. £300m+)

These relatively huge procurements will be won by a large prime bidder but offer the opportunity for UK businesses to either be part of a bid consortium (the majority of the opportunity at that stage being in design and consulting engineering and management) or to enter the supply chain following the award of the prime contract.  It is likely that these projects will call for and value significant technical expertise and local experience, so partnership with a local company is likely to offer the greatest chance of success.  They may not prove very suitable for brand new exporters unless they can demonstrate significant UK domestic industry experience.

Country overview – in relations to sector opportunities:

• HK continues to be a substantial market for UK exports – currently 12th largest market for goods (3rd largest in APAC) and market worth over £2bn/year in services – but goods export values declined in the second half of 2015.
• World's 8th largest trading economy - as well as (still) gateway to mainland China and A-Pac.
• Many UK companies have APAC HQs in HK – latest stats were some 126 UK companies with regional HQs here and some 630 in total have offices here.  Many more have agents and distributors.
• Significant amounts of investment come from HK (and from China via HK) into the UK creating jobs and growth.

Business Environment

• Hong Kong has traditionally been a very welcoming market for UK and international companies to do business, with an enduring appeal built on political stability, the rule of law, free market principles, free flow of information, and English as the language of business.  For the past 21 years Hong Kong has been ranked as the ‘World’s Freest Economy’ by the Heritage Foundation/Wall Street Journal.  The index measures economies in 10 areas, including trade, business, investment and property rights. Hong Kong scores particularly well on business, trade, financial and labour freedoms.
• As in all markets, the competition is entrenched and growing.  Chinese companies, Koreans, Japanese and Americans are becoming more and more active.  There are also growing French and German interests.

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. 

• 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.
