PARTICIPANT SURVEY

UNDP, in cooperation with Bappenas and supported by the Government of Denmark, launched a project to develop a national circular economy strategy. The first phase of the project aims to size the economic, environmental, and social benefits of circular economy adoption in five key sectors: Food and beverage, Textiles, Construction, Wholesale and retail trade, and Electronics and electrical appliances.

To better understand the current landscape of circular economy in Indonesia, we would appreciate if you could complete the survey below that could inform our discussion during this project. The survey will take 2 minutes of your time. Thank you for your cooperation.

Question Title

* 8. We have identified four groups of potential barriers for adopting circular economy opportunities: i) Economic; ii) Market failures; iii) Regulatory failures; iv) Social factors.

Please identify the relevant barriers, and their degree of relevance that your company faces or will likely face when pursuing circular economy opportunities.

Response to each barrier is required.

  Strong relevance Some relevance No relevance Not sure
Economic: Not profitable for businesses even if other barriers are overcome
Economic: Capital intensive and/or uncertain payback times
Economic: Technology not yet available at scale
Market failures: Externalities (e.g. carbon emissions, cost of waste treatment) not fully reflected in market prices
Market failures: Lack of supporting infrastructure
Market failures: Insufficient end markets (e.g. recycling markets) to incentivize change
Market failures: Imperfect information (e.g. for businesses to know how to repair, disassemble and remanufacture products)
Market failures: Different incentives along the value chain (e.g. when two parties to a transaction have different goals, such as a landlord investing in energy efficient light bulbs but the tenant getting the benefit)
Market failures: Transaction costs such as the costs of finding and bargaining with customers or suppliers
Regulatory failures: Inadequately defined legal frameworks that govern areas such as the use of new technologies
Regulatory failures: Poorly defined targets and objectives which provide either insufficient or skewed direction to industry
Regulatory failures: Implementation and enforcement failures leading to the effects of regulations being diluted or altered
Regulatory failures: Unintended consequences of existing regulations that hamper circular practices (e.g. energy subsidies)
Social factors: Capabilities and skills lacking either in-house or in the market at reasonable cost
Social factors: Custom and habit: ingrained behaviour of consumers and businesses that may be difficult to change
