Bebas Sampah ID (BSID)

BSID is a digital platform that encourage people and local community in tackling the solid waste management issues through the participatory movement based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) system.

Indonesia has ranked 2nd as the worst disaster of landfill landslide in history causes the most polluting country to the oceans. In 2020, Indonesia produces 67,8 tons of waste annually, while in 2019, 32% of the waste ended up unmanaged in an illegal dumping landfill. To tackle this problem, Bebassampah.ID is available to solve the waste management issues through the participatory movement based on the ICT system. This movement includes collaboration among the local community, multi-stakeholders, government, and society.
BSID, a nonprofit organization that was already existed in 2014, has strong grassroots networks in 34 provinces, were the main programs such as;
1) encourage the grassroots movement and mobilize multi-stakeholders to act on Zero Waste Indonesia activities through using the ICT system platform
2) annual gathering, which delivers an impactful and sustainable grassroots online movement
BSID aims to promote the decentralized waste management system by empowering the informal sectors of the community-based waste managers, such as waste banks, intermediate recycling facilities, waste collectors, to scavengers. This initiative provides solutions to environmental and economic sectors at the same time by expanding the community-based market and improving the income through the selling of waste and used goods as their commodities.

BSID offers to solve the problem is to overcome the waste management issues, especially in Indonesia regions as a country that produces 67,8 tons of waste annually and 32% of the unmanaged waste that ended up in an illegal dumping landfill.
As a digital platform that focuses on waste issues through the participatory movement based on the ICT, BSID has collaborated with local communities, multi-stakeholders, government, and society in scope to raise awareness about waste problems.
Jamboree is a grassroots movement for Zero Waste Indonesia activities such as mapping the illegal dumping on-site, supporting the waste clearing in tourism areas, conducting an annual gathering to strengthen the collaboration, and sharing the information or knowledge of waste management among them.
Furthermore, BSID commits to facilitate the public to report the illegal dumping sites they found and marks where the sites are. The location and the number of waste will be processed and calculated using an ICT system portal as a piece of real-time data information that will be easily accessible by everyone. This initiative will support local government institutions where their data is not being up-to-date information to be deserved access by the broadened public.
On the other hand, we want to encourage the community in developing the sustainability market by using waste materials to transform them into used goods and quality products. This process will towards creating a circular economy in a sustainability framework.

The waste issue has been a crucial problem for people, including households, young people, companies, even the government has got serious about this issue for many years. The major of the people don't know about managing solid waste well based on the appropriate procedures. Moreover, they don't understand making a circular economy that can support their profit by recycling waste into used-goods materials.
So, here BSID has come for a reason. BSID is a digital platform that stimulates the participatory movement, used for a wide range of ages, including households, young generations, multi-stakeholders, and governmental institutions in collaboration cooperation in taking action for waste management issues. BSID that encourages a participatory approach will assist them in managing the waste through our integrated system named ICT-based technology and knowledge information sharing through our community or online discussion. Furthermore, it will also help people in developing the market target through creating used goods from waste materials in a process, so that they can increase their profit in a circular and sustainable economy in life.

First, we researched waste management issues and how this issue impacts climate change globally, even though it is also a universal problem of human life. In the second step, we surveyed through intensive interviews for communities group ranging from children, adolescents, and adult people about their perspectives of waste problems. After we got the result of the survey, then we made this result into numeric data about the people's interest in waste issues and how much their knowledge can affect to create a better life. We also have tried to understand what people need to overcome this issue by themselves by providing assets, services, market developments, and other features that can support people of varying ages to manage their wastes. Furthermore, we are forming a particular group of the community named Zero Waste Ranger as a voluntary unit and also as a brand ambassador in delivering the message of our campaign among the people in society.

As a non-profit organization that had appeared in 2014, BSID has actively impacted people's lives by organizing the programs for seven years, particularly the waste management issues. Those have brought us to the growth stage in processes, and we are still looking for creative ideas that can thoroughly help people in practice and effort to increase the number of our asset features.

To support the growth of the projects, BSID has developed various programs that involve Zero Waste Ranger in action and society in general as a front liner in changing the future world. At the first time of BSID's establishing, it had made collaboration among the association such as with the Association of Environmental Engineering Alumni of the Bandung Institute of Technology (IATL ITB), the Association of Sustainable Earth Conservation Yaksa (YPBB), and the Greeneration Foundation (GF) in 2014. We also received the Ford Foundation grant in 2014 and the YSEALI grant in 2020 as our funding and financial supports

We are using Information and Communication Technology or an ICT-based that stimulates participatory movements in a real-time data and tackling the waste issues through the BSID's platform by providing features to support the program (movement, asset, collaborator, library, illegal dumping sites, and index)

We serve and help people in all ranging regions in Indonesia to break the waste management issues in their places. To support this mission, we have involved more than 1,000 volunteers in the process to join the Zero Waste Ranger community. In the upcoming year, we are targetting to find as many as 5,000 volunteers to join us.

The impact goals that we want to achieve:
1,000 community-based waste collectors/managers (part of the Assets Feature) mapped
5,000 volunteers of Zero Waste Ranger
500 multi-stakeholder organizations (part of the Collaborators Feature) mapped
100 activities in various forms (part of the Movement Feature) promoted
1,000 illegal dumpings reported
200 multimedia information (part of the Library Feature) uploaded
The things that we will do to implement these impact goals are preparing the solid and creative team as the leading part of this project, budget plan, and program that we want to promote, and we apply for the potential grants every month to support the funding, and also build a collaboration with multi-stakeholders, local community, and state

Besides BSID measure the number of published data by crowdsourcing scheme, including:

1. Individual accounts (Actors)
2. Community-based waste collectors/managers (Assets)
3. Multi-stakeholder organizations (Collaborators)
4. Activities in various forms (Movement)
5. Illegal dumpings
6. Multimedia information (Library)

Especially in the Index feature, BSID uses scientific methodology, consist of:
1. Collection Rate (%) is defined as the amount of waste product taken back for possible recycling as a proportion of total amount of a waste product generated during a certain period.
2. Recycling Rate (%) is defined as the percentage of waste that can be regenerated, such as secondary materials recycled from waste product or the waste product that is made to compost.
3. Zero Waste Index is a tool that calculates the amount of virgin materials, energy, water, and greenhouse gases which are replaced by resources that have been successfully generated from the waste management flow.

The risk or external threat that can interfere with project objectives is if the new national government in the 2024 general election does not commit to continuing with the target of 30% reduction and 70% waste management by 2025, which was passed through Presidential Regulation 97/2017.

Recently, we are engaging the Indonesian government and the local government to sync the Bebassampah.ID data on waste reduction and waste handling reported by civil society can be linked to government-owned information systems so that it becomes an integrated data unit.

We are also collaborating with producers, especially those who are members of the Packaging and Recycling Association for Indonesia Sustainable Environment (PRAISE) to be able to collaborate with the Packaging Recovery Organization (PRO) program to optimize and collect the data generated by the community-based waste managers to manage their product waste.

Other than that, the Greeneration Foundation, which has joined the Metric Task Force of the National Plastic Action Partnership (NPAP), is a derivative of the Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP) hosted by the World Economic Forum, seeks to provide recommendations for the optimization of Bebassampah.ID by the NPAP members to be scaled up at the international level.

BSID involve women leadership in taking place for the role to save environment. It is can be seen with our organization structure that encourage women as part of the actors in our board member.

One of them is The Executive Director of Greeneration Foundation, Vanessa Letizia that has experience for 4 years in this position. She lead the coordination and communications in the internal organization, while also develop an operational plan which incorporates goals and objectives that work towards the strategic direction of the organization.
