（Singapore, 25.09.2025)Waste4Change, Indonesia’s pioneer in responsible waste management backed by ACV Capital, has released its 2024 Impact Report showing an average annual growth rate of 88.39% in waste collection volumes over the past decade. Since its founding in 2014, the company has scaled from a small social enterprise into one of Indonesia’s leading circular economy players, collecting a total of 64.9 million kilograms of waste.
Of this, 32.5 million kg came from households, 17.6 million kg from commercial areas, and 14.7 million kg through partnerships with Bank Sampah, TPS 3R, and the informal sector. Today, Waste4Change operates across 19 locations nationwide.
Transforming Waste into Resources
The company’s impact goes far beyond collection. From 2014 to 2024, Waste4Change recycled 14.2 million kilograms of materials, converted nearly 500,000 kilograms of organic waste into biomass, and produced 2 million kilograms of refuse-derived fuel (RDF). In 2024 alone, it recycled 8.1 million kilograms and produced almost 700,000 kilograms of RDF.
By keeping waste out of landfills, Waste4Change has cut emissions equivalent to 28.8 million kilograms of CO₂ over the past decade, achieving net-negative emissions through its operations. It has also created hundreds of green jobs and educated more than 550,000 people on sustainable waste management.
“Our growth is proof that circular solutions can deliver measurable impact at scale,” said Mohamad Bijaksana Junerosano, Founder & CEO of Waste4Change. “We are not just reducing landfill waste — we are transforming waste into resources, creating jobs, and driving systemic change for a sustainable, low-carbon economy.”
Driving Policy and Collaboration
The Impact Report launch coincided with a webinar, “Circular Solutions for Emission Reduction: Waste4Change Progress in Circular Solutions”, marking Zero Emissions Day and World Clean Up Week. The event brought together government, investors, and global partners to highlight cross-sector collaboration as key to advancing a zero-waste, zero-emissions future.
Noer Adi Wardojo, Expert Staff at Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment, underscored the need for stronger waste segregation, expanded processing capacity, and reinforced Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies to meet the country’s circular economy goals.
From an investor’s perspective, Adiandri Adyafitri, Head of ESG at ACV Capital, emphasized balancing social impact with profitability: “Impact investors can play a key role in scaling responsible waste management and driving systemic change.”
As demand for scalable waste solutions rises globally, Waste4Change plans to diversify its collection points, strengthen partnerships with the informal sector, and expand cross-border collaborations that integrate policy, capital, and innovation. By bridging stakeholders across sectors, the company is positioning itself as a regional leader in circular economy solutions.
