“…For major textile‐producing countries such as Bangladesh, this exacerbates existing water crises, including severe water pollution. These issues are particularly pronounced in delta‐based regions like Dhaka, where untreated effluents have rendered rivers biologically “dead” (Sharpe & Retamal, 2021). These environmental challenges are further compounded by industrial pollution—responsible for 60% of pollution in the Dhaka watershed—with garment factories contributing significantly to these stresses (NRDC, 2012; Sharpe & Retamal, 2021).…”

Untreated or inadequately treated textile wastewater is regularly discharged into the environment, resulting in the contamination of groundwater and surface water sources, and contributing to water scarcity—all of which negatively impact both the climate and human health (Makene et al, 2019; Tarkwa et al, 2019; Yaseen & Scholz, 2016).…”

This paper explores the relationships between textile wastewater management and its impact on ecosystems and community livelihoods. Using the case of the wastewater management practices of the Bangladesh textile industry and thematic analysis of key informant interviews with industry representatives in the production value chain, the study illustrates perceptions of sustainability transformation regarding wastewater management, specifically by integrating sustainable water and energy practices. The findings reveal the adverse effects of textile wastewater on freshwater resources, such as the obstruction of socio‐economic development and environmental sustainability, and highlight the distinctions between compliant and non‐compliant textile industries regarding sustainability transformation. These results also indicate challenges that hinder the sustainability of textile effluent treatment, including the absence of techno‐ecology, pro‐environmental behaviour, stringent regulations, reliable surveillance, and collaborative actions. Recommendations include improving cooperation among community‐stakeholders and decision‐makers to promote sustainability transformation in textile wastewater management, prioritising water energy resources to advance environmental development, and fulfilling socio‐economic demands.

“…EIA serves as a management tool to determine the impact of development projects and create mitigation strategies to address potential impacts in addition to supporting decision-making [1]. In 2021 International Labour Organization assessed the impact of the EIA in the textile and garment sector in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Viet Nam, where they found that, according to Greenpeace, simply put the Indonesian monitoring system lacks openness, making information on discharge permits, monitoring data, and compliance difficult for the general public to access [2]. On the other hand, Indonesia's EIA regulations are considered quite comprehensive, and some progress has been made to improve public participation and transparency [3].…”

In Indonesia, environmental protection is closely linked with administrative policy. The Indonesian government has recognized the importance of protecting the environment and has implemented various policies and regulations to promote sustainable development. One of the main administrative policies in Indonesia related to environmental protection is the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Before a project or activity is permitted, the potential environmental implications are assessed through the EIA process. This policy is mandated by law and is enforced by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. Environmentalists have long criticized the EIA process due to its untransparent process. Various complaints and lawsuits about the validity of the EIA have arisen through the Administrative Court in Indonesia. However, these lawsuits are often not accepted because they need to comply with the state administrative court procedural law, which will be the focus of this paper.

“…With its sprawling archipelago comprising over 17,000 islands, Indonesia is a nation where verdant rainforests teem with biodiversity, pristine beaches kiss the azure waters, and ancient cultural heritage intertwines with nature's grandeur (Sharpe, Retamal, & Martinez-Fernandez, 2022). However, beneath its natural splendor lies a pressing challenge.…”

“…This study seeks to fill this gap by providing an in-depth analysis of the Indonesian EIA system, shedding light on its strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Additionally, Indonesia's dynamic social, economic, and political landscape presents a complex context for the implementation of EIA (Sharpe et al, 2022). Rapid industrialization, population growth, and urbanization have strained the delicate balance between development and environmental preservation.…”

Aim: This study examines the implementation and effectiveness of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process in Indonesia. The research aims to assess the outcomes of the EIA process by analyzing selected case studies across various sectors and regions. It also identifies contextual factors influencing EIA implementation and proposes recommendations to improve its effectiveness. Methodology: The current study employed a literature review approach to assess the implementation and effectiveness of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Indonesian law. Findings: The findings indicate positive outcomes in terms of impact identification and implementation of mitigation measures. However, challenges remain in stakeholder engagement, monitoring and enforcement, and integrating EIA outcomes into decision-making processes. To address these issues, recommendations are made, including strengthening the legal framework, promoting meaningful stakeholder engagement, enhancing capacity and expertise, integrating EIA outcomes into decision-making, and improving monitoring and compliance mechanisms. The study concludes by highlighting the need to consider Indonesia's unique socio-political context and environmental challenges in improving the effectiveness of the EIA process. Implications/Novel Contribution: The current study provide insights into the challenges faced by Indonesia and propose contextually appropriate recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of the EIA process.
