WALHI: 15 TPA Kebakaran, Walhi Desak Open Dumping Dihentikan
WALHI mencatat sedikitnya 15 TPA mengalami kebakaran sepanjang 2026 akibat masih dominannya praktik open dumping di 312 TPA atau 60,7 persen fasilitas persampahan Indonesia. Simulasi emisi gas metana dengan metode First Order Decay IPCC 2006 memperkirakan emisi metana bersih nasional mencapai 334.109 ton atau setara 9,02 juta ton CO2e pada 2025, berpotensi naik dua kali lipat dalam 25 tahun ke depan. WALHI mendesak Presiden dan KLH/BPLH melakukan pembenahan menyeluruh melalui pemilahan sampah dari sumber, pengomposan, budidaya maggot, serta percepatan perubahan sistem dari open dumping ke controlled landfill dan sanitary landfill.
Poin-Poin Utama
- WALHI recorded 15 TPA fires across Indonesia throughout 2026.
- WALHI named TPA Telaga Punggur Batam, Jatiwaringin Tangerang, Pakusari Jember, Cipayung Depok, Sumur Batu Bekasi, Cikolotok Purwakarta, Benowo Surabaya, Dengung Lebak, Troketon Klaten, Malabar Cilacap, TPA Kota Sorong, Ciniru Kuningan, Nangkaleah Tasikmalaya, and Putri Cempo Solo among those that burned.
- WALHI estimated net methane emissions from national TPA reached approximately 334,109 tons in 2025.
- Estimated 2025 methane emissions equal approximately 9.02 million tons of CO2e.
- WALHI projected methane emissions could double within 25 years without fundamental waste management changes.
- Simulation used First Order Decay (FOD) method per IPCC 2006 guidelines.
- Simulation used waste generation and composition data from 512 kabupaten/kota for 2020-2025.
- Approximately 60.7 percent of 312 TPA in Indonesia still use open dumping method.
- Around 61 percent of TPA methane emissions originate from organic waste.
- Accumulated gas from long-buried waste continues releasing methane even when new waste input decreases.
- TPA fire smoke contains PM2.5, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, dioxins, and furans.
- Exposure risks include acute respiratory infection (ISPA), asthma, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (PPOD).
- WALHI urged the President and Ministry of Environment (KLH/BPLH) to overhaul national waste governance.
- WALHI recommended source sorting, composting, and maggot cultivation from household to sub-district level to reduce organic waste entering TPA.
- WALHI called for accelerating transition from open dumping to controlled landfill and eventually sanitary landfill, plus gas capture and utilization systems.
