Plastic-to-Fuel (PtF) technology presents a promising solution to multiple challenges in Indonesia, including reducing fossil fuel dependence, minimizing fuel imports, and addressing plastic waste accumulation. By converting plastic waste into fuel, this approach supports both waste management and energy security goals. However, effective implementation requires a comprehensive regulatory framework to ensure sustainability, safety, and economic feasibility.

Objectives:

• Evaluate Indonesia’s waste management system and explore how PtF can enhance its efficiency.
• Assess the potential of PtF to reduce fuel imports and strengthen energy resilience.
• Provide an academic study to support the revision of Government Regulation No. 5/2021, offering a rational basis for PtF licensing and policy development by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (KESDM).

By aligning regulatory advancements with technological innovation, this study aims to facilitate PtF adoption, ensuring environmental, economic, and social benefits for Indonesia.
