A brand you can prove, from farm to pack.

We prepare the data EPR regulators, European buyers, retailers and PROPER ask for at every phase of your plant, and bring it together on Ailesh+.

See your phaseTalk to us about your plant

Obligations now come from the farm and from the bin.

Ingredient origin, packaging tonnage by material and plant meter data are reused by EPR, the EUDR, PROPER and PSPK. Prepare them once, properly, and every later report draws on the same source.

Risk

Producers will be required to fund the collection of their own packaging through a producer responsibility organisation (PRO). Compliance with the roadmap rules in force today is still low.

28 of 842 producers under ministry guidance have actually delivered and reported their waste reduction.

According to KLH/BPLH, 2026

Opportunity

Food and beverage exports are growing, and global buyers judge suppliers on product footprint data. Plants that hold Scope 3 and per-SKU LCA figures answer buyer questionnaires with measured numbers.

USD 49.5 billion in Indonesian food and beverage exports in 2025.

According to Industry.co.id, 2026

Priority

Map high-risk ingredient origins, log packaging tonnage by material, then set the plant's energy, water and emissions base year. That data fills EPR reports, Due Diligence Statements, PROPER and PSPK at once.

  • Producer waste-reduction roadmap (Environment and Forestry Ministry Regulation P.75/2019)

    in force since 2019; its replacement is still a draft, targeted for November 2026

    Producers draw up a roadmap and report how much packaging waste they cut. The draft replacement schedules registration and PROs through end-2027, with full obligations from 2028.

    According to the BPK legal database; KLH/BPLH, 2026

  • EUDR

    applies 30 Dec 2026 for large and medium companies, 30 Jun 2027 for micro and small

    Palm oil, cocoa, coffee and soy need plot geolocation and proof of no deforestation since 31 Dec 2020. Instant coffee and certain palm derivatives follow from 30 Dec 2027.

    According to the European Commission, 2026; Rödl & Partner, 2026

  • EU PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40)

    applies from 12 Aug 2026

    Packaging placed on the EU market must meet recyclability criteria from 1 Jan 2030.

    According to the European Commission, 2025; Trace One, 2026

Every plant phase hands its data to the next.

EPR fees will be set by packaging chosen at the drawing board, and Due Diligence Statements are built from a supplier map drawn up before the first contract. Pick your phase to see what needs to be ready.

Phase 1: Map your suppliers before you draw the plant.

A food and beverage plant needs large volumes of food-grade water, and the farms supplying its palm oil or cocoa must be locatable on a map. Both are settled in this phase, along with the steam source and refrigerant.

What needs to be ready

    • 1.1 Food-grade raw water

      Map the source, drought risk and water-resource licence before you buy the land.

      According to Public Works Ministry Regulation 2/2024

    • 1.2 Origin map for high-risk ingredients

      Collect supplier codes and farm coordinates for palm oil, cocoa and coffee before the first contract, against a deforestation-free reference date of 31 December 2020.

    • 1.3 Steam and refrigerant source

      Compare gas, biomass and wastewater biogas from the start, then choose low-GWP refrigerants in line with the Kigali Amendment.

      According to Presidential Regulation 129/2022

Phase 2: Today's packaging design becomes tomorrow's EPR fee.

Today's packaging material sets your EPR cost for years, because the draft rules base fees on packaging type and volume. In the same phase, the wastewater plant, heat recovery and refrigerant are locked into the drawings.

What needs to be ready

    • 2.1 AMDAL and technical approvals

      One environmental impact study (AMDAL) covers the high-organic-load wastewater plant, boilers and gensets, with effluent limits set for your product sub-sector.

      According to Government Regulation 22/2021 and Environment Ministry Regulation 5/2014

    • 2.2 Mono-material packaging from the drawing board

      Easily recyclable packaging keeps EPR fees down and meets the EU market requirement that applies from 2030.

      According to KLH/BPLH, 2026; Regulation (EU) 2025/40

    • 2.3 Supplier code of conduct

      Indonesian palm fruit is on the US government's list of goods at risk of child and forced labour, so clauses banning both go into contracts before the first purchase.

      According to the US Department of Labor

Phase 3: Meters installed now remove the guesswork later.

Process drains and stormwater are separated from the foundations up, because food safety and wastewater load depend on it. Line sub-meters and reject scales installed now become the reference for PROPER, EPR and Scope 3.

What needs to be ready

    • 3.1 Construction monitoring

      Monitor dust, noise and runoff from day one, then report every semester through the ministry's SIMPEL system.

    • 3.2 Sub-meters and scales on every line

      Install steam, power, water and refrigeration meters per line, plus scales for rejects and expired product on each one.

    • 3.3 Anaerobic reactor seeding

      Seed the reactor with sludge and test it at partial load, with the biogas flare working from day one.

Phase 4: The first twelve months set every base year.

Packaging tonnage, Scope 1 to 3 and energy intensity per tonne of product are all measured for the first time this year. EPR and PROPER reports use the same figures, so one recording system costs less than two.

What needs to be ready

    • 4.1 Operating certificate for effluent and emissions

      Apply for the operating certificate (SLO) once a registered laboratory has tested the wastewater plant and boiler stack.

      According to Environment and Forestry Ministry Regulation 5/2021

    • 4.2 Base-year greenhouse gas inventory

      Calculate Scope 1 from boilers and refrigerant leaks, Scope 2 from electricity, and Scope 3 from ingredients, packaging and distribution.

    • 4.3 Waste roadmap and first PROPER cycle

      Report your waste-reduction roadmap and first environmental monitoring report (RKL-RPL) from the same packaging tonnage and meter data.

      According to Environment and Forestry Ministry Regulation P.75/2019

Phase 5: Your largest emissions sit outside the plant fence.

Scope 3 only comes down through farmers, suppliers and packaging, while Green PROPER rates efficiency from the same operating data.

26× supply-chain emissions against a company's average operational emissions.

According to CDP, 2025

What needs to be ready

    • 5.1 From Green towards Gold

      Build evidence on LCA with critical review, energy and water efficiency, waste 3R and SROI for partner-farmer programmes.

      According to Environment Ministry Regulation 7/2025

    • 5.2 FLAG target and no deforestation

      Food and beverage processors that set SBTi targets must include a forest, land and agriculture (FLAG) target and a no-deforestation commitment.

      According to SBTi, 2026

    • 5.3 Due diligence and listed-company reporting

      Prepare a Due Diligence Statement for every EU shipment containing palm oil, cocoa or coffee. For listed companies, Indonesia's IFRS-based sustainability standards (PSPK 1 and 2) phase in from 2027.

      According to IAI, 2025

Phase 6: New packaging needs proof; new lines need permits.

Switching to mono-material or rPET packaging lowers EPR fees, provided the footprint reduction is proven. Every added line changes capacity and discharge, so the Environmental Approval has to be amended first.

What needs to be ready

    • 6.1 LCA before and after the switch

      Prove the per-SKU footprint reduction before a green claim is printed on the pack.

    • 6.2 Traceable rPET supply

      Record supply origin, buying prices at collection yards, safety and a child-labour ban across the waste-picker and collector chain.

      about 85% of recycling-industry feedstock comes from the informal sector

      According to KLH/BPLH, 2026

    • 6.3 Amending the Environmental Approval

      File the amendment before a new line, genset or biogas unit starts running, because changes that depart from your permits can now be fined.

      According to Government Regulation 22/2021 and Environment Ministry Regulation 6/2026

From the receiving dock to the waste bank.

FMCG obligations start on the supplier's farm and end in the consumer's bin. Open the units one by one.

Ingredient receiving

Palm oil, sugar, milk, cocoa, coffee, flour and packaging arrive, carrying most of the product's carbon footprint and deforestation risk.

Typical facility illustration; not a specific site.

One data source for EPR, supply-chain emissions and PROPER.

Packaging, utility meter and supplier data usually sit with separate production, procurement and sustainability teams, so figures drift apart between reports and show up at audit. Ailesh+ brings it together: energy and refrigeration in Energy+, Scope 1 to 3 and supplier data in Carbon+, packaging scrap and food loss in Waste+, and farmer and waste-bank programmes in Social+. PROPER+ and ESG+ then build your reports from that same source.
