Surabaya city in Indonesia is working to dramatically reduce garbage by adopting a new waste management system. Such efforts have been supported by Kitakyushu, a city in western Japan which has overcome its own pollution issues in the past through effective cooperation between the government, private companies and the community. The 2 cities are now aiming to expand its cooperation to create a business platform and potentially serve as a model to solving waste issues in Indonesia and other Asian cities.
