The Project STOP Banyuwangi Hijau App, co-developed with Accenture, digitizes waste management, enhancing accountability, registration, fee collection, and route optimization
Driver picks up waste regularly from households, ensuring that the waste—already sorted by the community—is collected properly
The Project STOP Banyuwangi Hijau App provides practical solutions for rural areas where waste management systems are now being developed. Its key features include:
- Real-time registration: Residents can easily sign up for waste collection services digitally.
- Fee collection system: Digital payments make it easy for users to pay for services, improving efficiency and transparency.
- Route optimization: Waste collectors can plan the most efficient routes, reducing time and operational costs.
- Designed for low-connectivity areas: The app is tailored for use in regions of Indonesia with limited internet access, ensuring inclusivity.
- Fit-for-purpose devices: Built for smaller screen sizes and cost-effective devices, making it accessible to waste management workers and communities in rural areas.
- Map views: Helps identify households not yet participating in the program, allowing targeted outreach and better service coverage.
Beyond improving waste collection with the new App, Accenture and Project STOP will explore new ways to enhance transparency in the recycling process. Through materials tracking and tracing technology, plastics collected in ocean-bound areas will be monitored through the recycling chain, thus minimizing social and environmental risks and promoting greater accountability and efficiency.
“We are grateful to have Accenture as a partner in Project STOP Banyuwangi Hijau,” says Markus Horcher, Director Sustainability & Public Affairs at Borealis. “This collaboration is a great example of how working together across sectors fosters the development of innovative solutions that create sustainable and long-lasting impact.”
One of the key features of the Banyuwangi Hijau App is its ability to streamline customer registration data, ensuring efficient and accurate enrollment for waste management services
Steven Sujoto, Program Director, Project STOP Banyuwangi Hijau at Systemiq, said, “As co-founders of Project STOP, we believe that addressing the root causes of plastic pollution requires bold partnerships and innovative solutions. Our collaboration with Accenture in Project STOP Banyuwangi Hijau is a powerful example of how technology and systems thinking can drive transformational change. With this app and Project STOP’s system enabler approach, we are creating a replicable model for sustainable waste management that not only protects the environment but also benefits communities across Indonesia.”
Since its introduction, the Project STOP Banyuwangi Hijau App has received external recognition, receiving prestigious awards from the Art Directors Club (ADC), earning one bronze and two other awards, recognizing it as an exemplary Native Android App promoting sustainable waste disposal in Indonesia. The ADC awards brings together approximately 800 leading figures in creative communication annually, honoring outstanding achievements in communication and design.

About Project STOP
Launched in 2017 by Borealis and Systemiq, Project STOP (STop Ocean Plastics) works hand-in-hand with city governments to create effective circular waste management systems in high-need areas of Southeast Asia. The initiative supports cities with technical expertise to achieve zero-leakage of waste, increase recycling, build economically sustainable programs, creating new jobs and reducing the harmful impact of mismanaged waste on public health, tourism, and fisheries. The first city partnership was established in 2017 in the municipality of Muncar, East Java, followed by others in Pasuruan, East Java and Jembrana, Bali. In February 2022, Project STOP Muncar was handed over to the local government and community. In March 2023 Project STOP Pasuruan was handed over to the government and community and in June 2023 Project STOP Jembrana was fully handed over to the local regency government.
Now the programme expands to the Banyuwangi regency—combining a regency level waste system model with a material aggregator into a circular waste and recycling solution that can transform waste economics.
