Abstract
Indonesia faces a mounting waste management crisis, intensified by rapid urbanization, limited infrastructure, and low public awareness. While private-sector involvement is increasingly viewed as a critical component in addressing this issue, waste management enterprises in Indonesia continue to face considerable challenges. This research explores the barriers and drivers to establishing waste management enterprises in Indonesia through a qualitative, Grounded Theory approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight stakeholders representing different roles across the waste management value chain, including collection, processing, and venture development. The data was analyzed using open, axial, and theoretical coding to inductively identify and categorize key themes. The findings reveal five key domains influencing enterprise development: financial, legal, market, technical, and supply chain. Key barriers include high capital requirements, regulatory gaps, limited market demand, technological complexity, and fragmented supply chains. Conversely, drivers such as accessible funding opportunities, growing government support, eco-conscious consumer segments, operational innovations, and cross-sector collaboration offer pathways for enterprise growth. The study concludes by providing practical recommendations to foster a more enabling ecosystem for waste management enterprises and highlights areas for future research to support sustainable entrepreneurship in the sector.
