The Regional Knowledge Centre for Marine Plastic Debris, in collaboration with the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies, will officially launch Phase II of the ‘Breaking the Plastic Habit in Asia’ project.

We invite you to join the launch event:

Date: October 18, 2024

Time: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Jakarta Time

Registration: https://crm.iges.or.jp/public/application/add/5479

The public event will convene leaders from government, academia, civil society, and international organizations to share best practices, key findings, and explore collaboration opportunities for sustainable reduction of plastic waste in ASEAN. The event will feature keynote addresses by environmental leaders and presentations from pilot teams representing six ASEAN countries. Discussions will focus on how Behavioural Insights can drive long-term changes in plastic consumption habits.

Phase I successfully tested innovative approaches to reduce plastic waste in ASEAN countries by `nudging` people not to use single-use plastics. Examples include no free plastic bags, no free plastic straws, separate garbage boxes with display of segregated items, and awareness raising campaigns In Phase II, the project will further explore how behavioural changes can complement existing policies, such as bans and taxes. A new measurement framework will also be introduced to evaluate the effectiveness of ‘the Behavioural Insights interventions. This phase will produce practical tools and case studies to guide policymakers, businesses, and civil society in implementing behaviour-centred solutions.

A capacity-building workshop on 16-17 October 2024 will prepare selected partner organizations to implement local projects from January to August 2025. The implementing partners for Phase II include:

· From Cambodia, Ministry of Environment

· From Indonesia, Center for Southeast Asian Studies

· From Lao PDR, Econox Laos – Plastic Free Laos Label

· From the Philippines, Institute of Civil Engineering, University of the Philippines Diliman

· From Thailand, Department of Environmental Science, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University

· From Viet Nam, Nopa

About RKC-MPD

The Regional Knowledge Centre for Marine Plastic Debris was established under the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia in 2019. The Centre’s mission is to provide information and support to ASEAN+3 Member States, thereby helping them to improve the circularity of plastic and prevent leakage into marine environments.

Boost asset performance, cut downtime, and stay ahead of competitors with PetroSync Reliability & Maintenance training for business leaders. In today’s competitive industrial landscape, asset performance is no longer a technical concern—it is a business imperative. If your competitors can maintain higher equipment availability, reduce downtime, and respond faster to failures, they gain an advantage that directly affects market share, profitability, and customer trust. As a business leader, you may already sense this pressure. The uncomfortable question is not whether reliability matters, but whether your organization is moving fast enough. When Your Competitors Fix Assets Faster Than You Can Imagine two companies operating similar assets in the same market. One experiences frequent unplanned shutdowns, while the other maintains steady production with minimal disruption. The difference is rarely luck—it is capability. Organizations that invest in reliability and maintenance competencies empower their teams to detect issues earlier, prioritize the right tasks, and execute maintenance with precision. Studies consistently show that mature reliability programs can improve maintenance productivity by 15–25%, simply by reducing reactive work and improving planning accuracy. While your team struggles with fire-fighting mode, competitors with structured reliability frameworks move faster, recover quicker, and deliver more consistent output. Over time, that performance gap becomes impossible to ignore. The Hidden Cost of “Business as Usual” in Reliability and Maintenance Many companies underestimate the cost of maintaining the status quo. On the surface, operations may appear stable—but beneath it lies inefficiency. Unoptimized maintenance strategies often lead to: Excessive overtime and labor waste Spare parts overstocking or critical shortages Repeated failures that erode asset life According to industry benchmarks, poor maintenance practices can consume up to 30% of total operating costs. Meanwhile, organizations that adopt reliability-centered approaches typically achieve 10–20% operational efficiency improvements, freeing capital for growth rather than repairs. If competitors are already operating leaner and smarter, continuing “business as usual” is not neutral—it is a risk. How Smart Reliability Leaders Turn Technology Into a Competitive Weapon Forward-thinking leaders understand that reliability excellence is no longer driven by people alone—it is amplified by technology. AI-powered maintenance tools, including intelligent chatbots, are increasingly used to support frontline teams. These systems help technicians access procedures, historical failure data, and troubleshooting guidance instantly. The result is faster decision-making, fewer errors, and reduced dependency on limited expert resources. Organizations implementing AI-assisted maintenance solutions report: Faster issue resolution and improved team productivity Reduced training time for new technicians Operational cost savings of up to 20–30% by minimizing downtime and unnecessary interventions However, technology only delivers value when paired with strong reliability fundamentals. This is where professional capability development becomes critical. Programs such as CMRP Training and CRE Training equip professionals with the strategic and analytical skills needed to turn tools and data into real performance gains. Staying Relevant in an Era Where Asset Performance Defines Market Winners The reality is simple: markets reward organizations that can sustain asset performance under pressure. Those that fail to evolve risk falling behind—not because they lack assets, but because they lack reliability leadership. Reliability-centered methodologies help businesses shift from reactive maintenance to structured decision-making. Programs like ARCM Training enable teams to align maintenance activities with business risk, ensuring resources are focused where they matter most. Meanwhile, RCA Training helps organizations break the cycle of recurring failures that quietly drain profitability. For business leaders, investing in reliability and maintenance capability is not just about equipment—it is about protecting competitiveness. When your competitors can deliver faster, cheaper, and more reliably, the cost of inaction becomes far greater than the cost of transformation.

To this day, PetroSync has become a leading oil and gas training provider, with a participant passing rate as high as 90%. This Press Release has also been published on VRITIMES
