In July 2024, the Ministry of National Coordination and Development of Indonesia, BAPPENAS, launched its Circular Economy Roadmap and National Action Plan for Development of the National Circular Economy in Indonesia. The Roadmap and the Action plan focusses on 5 sectors: food, plastic packaging, electronics, construction and textiles. The Roadmap sets out 3 strategies for promoting circularity in the textiles sector: 1. Develop infrastructure and strengthen the national textile economic ecosystem in particular with regards to post consumer textiles (reuse, repair, recycle and recover) 2. Reduction of textile waste (reuse, repair, recycle and recover) 3. Increase resource efficiency in the textile production process including through the promotion of eco-design (rethink, and reduce) UNEP in 2023 initiated the UNEP Textile Initiative to provide strategic leadership and encourage sector-wide collaboration to accelerate a just transition towards a sustainable and circular textile value chain. UNEP takes a life cycle approach, where the entire life cycle of a product or service is analysed and data is collected, in order to identify opportunities for improving environmental impacts and help make informed evidence-based decisions. Through this project UNEP in collaboration with and with funding from Denmark will implement InTex Indonesia in collaboration with local partners to support Indonesia’s efforts to enhance sustainability and circularity in the textiles sector in support of the implementation of the Circular Economy Roadmap and Action Plan. This may include scoping the possibilities of developing an ecodesign standard for the textile sector in Indonesia. The objective of the project is: To support sustainability and circularity in the Indonesian textile sector by both improving production resource efficiency and informing product design for circularity upstream. The project will support the Indonesian government in implementing the Circular Economy National Roadmap and Action Plan for the Textile Sector. Specifically, implementation of Strategy 3 on improved resource efficiency, by working with industry actors to assess and reduce the environmental impact of textiles production, and it will contribute to the implementation of Strategy 1 with a focus on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policy development.
