5 Back ground The current government of Bandung has made clear point with regard to its commitment to better improve the environmental quality, that can be seen in: The long-term (25 years period) and mid-term (5 years) development plans established by the City of Bandung. In the Bandung s development plan, environmental-related programmes are manifested in one of the seven priority agenda, i.e., Green and Harmonious Bandung. Whereas, there are other three priority agenda relevant with environmental-related issues, namely, Bright Bandung, Healthy Bandung, and Prosperous Bandung.

6 What is ECOTOWN? Ecotown concept came to be in 1997 based on the concept of zero emissions. a key project of Japan s Ministry of Economy,Trade and Industry, and it originated through a system of subsidies that was first established by the Ministry of Economy,Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Environment. The Japanese government established the eco-towns to counter the then-pervasive problem of waste management and to stimulate domestic growth in a sustainable manner that would not prove harmful to the environment. 6

7 Basic aims of zero waste The reduction of waste produced, including greenhouse gases, to nearly zero; The promotion of energy-saving measures; and close collaboration between different industries and administrative districts. The facets of zero emissions that are incorporated into the eco-town concept include environmental management, resource recycling and urban planning, all of which can be carried out thanks to synergies between the aforementioned collaborative parties.

8 Focus of Existing Ecotown Environmentally friendly technologies and methods such as integrated waste management, the 3R methods (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle), industrial ecology, green consumerism and energy conservation; location in and/or close linkages with a large and growing eco-business market that is well developed domestically and extends internationally; A strong focus on research and development that extends to both public and private sectors, and which is focused on crafting cutting-edge solutions for environmental problems; and the abiding interest of both local and national governmental bodies to craft policy in support of these initiatives
