Officials from governments and companies attended the inauguration of the MRF.

The MRF will manage waste collection and sortation, as well as materials to be recycled from households in the region. It is equipped to handle both organic and inorganic waste. Organic waste will be processed into compost while inorganic waste will be sorted ad transferred to recycling industry.

The facility’s daily processing capacity is up to 84 tons of waste and aims to collect annually 23,000 tons of waste by 2025, including 3,300 tons of plastic.

Co-founded by Borealis and Systemiq, Project STOP focuses on delivering measurable impact on the ground. Since its inception in 2017, it has steadily extended across the entire Banyuwangi Regency. The new MRF is part of its Banyuwangi Hijau expansion plan, aiming to annually collect 230,000 tons of waste, including 25,000 tons of plastic.

For the MRF’s construction, the Banyuwangi Regency Government allocated more than 1.5 hectares of land in the first phase of the Project in Banyuwangi.

"Since we founded Project STOP together with Systemiq in 2017, we established waste management systems in Muncar, Pasuruan and Jembrana as first phase. Based on the learnings done in the first three cities, we will now expand the reach of Project STOP to the Banyuwangi region,” explained Thomas Gangl, Borealis CEO.
