Environmental management program performance ratings for companies (PROPER) is a public disclosure program for environmental compliance by the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK). PROPER is a type of government policy to enhance the business’ environmental management performance by the law’s requirements. Furthermore, PROPER is an example of how environmental management has become more open and democratic in Indonesia. The application of this instrument is an effort by the KLHK to implement some of the virtues of good governance — transparency, equity, responsibility, and community participation — in environmental management. In 2021, the PROPER Program expanded its activities’ scope by including elements of LCA implementation in the program report. This paper aims to provide recommendations for the PROPER program implementation concerning applying the ISO 14025 standard. The method used in this study are literature studies of related regulations and mapping the existing conditions against the conformity of the ISO 14025 standard. The study shows that the current PROPER program has met several requirements of the ISO 14025, comprising life cycle assessments and environmental product declarations. However, the existing program should have determined that PCR is one of the elements required to assess environmental management performance ratings.
Tire labeling is a label on tire products that have met specific rolling resistance, wet grip, and noise emission requirements. It aims to increase road transport’s safety and economic and environmental efficiency by promoting fuel-efficient and safe tires with low external rolling noise. Indonesia has many tire industries and is a significant global market for motor vehicles; they may consider applying tire labeling. The implementation of tire labeling in Indonesia requires a study of the readiness of the tire industry and its supporting infrastructure, including the necessary testing facilities and end-user awareness. The study was carried out by conducting literature studies and distributing questionnaires. The study results showed that the tire industry has sound capabilities, but it is necessary to increase the readiness of an independent testing laboratory. End-user acceptance of tire label products is good, but awareness of tire labels needs to be improved. The application of tire labels in Indonesia is projected to reduce CO2 emissions significantly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
