In this episode of the Bali Business Club Podcast, we sit down with Tobias Wilson, founder of Shiva Industries, to break down what's really happening with waste and waste management in Bali. What's going wrong, what's going right, and the major changes reshaping the island right now. From an Australian burnout in Singapore to building a waste-tech company in Bali, Tobias gives a clear, on-the-ground perspective on why the old system is broken and what an actual solution looks like.

We go beyond the headlines to explain how Bali's waste really flows, why separating at source changes everything, and why Tobias believes waste is the single biggest threat the island faces today.

What You Will Discover In This Podcast:

Why Bali's waste sector is shifting from informal to formal, and what that means for you
The real numbers behind Bali's waste problem (1.2 million tons a year)
Why a centralised landfill system is outdated and failing
The case for decentralised waste management, and why 90% of waste never needs to go on a truck
How leachates from landfill poison groundwater, soil, and oceans
Simple composting options for homes, villas, and apartments
Why separation at source is the unlock for recycling actually working
The truth about plastic recycling (only 4% is recycled in Indonesia)
The single-use plastic vs poverty trade-off most people ignore
Why Tobias argues waste should be treated as a national security issue
What businesses and households should do today to manage the transition

🎧 Essential listening for business owners, villa and hotel operators, sustainability advocates, and anyone living in or moving to Bali.

Energy Transition ⚡

Every developed economy faces the same challenge eventually:

How do you produce enough reliable electricity to support long-term growth?

Indonesia's population continues to grow, its middle class is expanding, and new industries are emerging across the country. All of that requires one thing: more power.

For decades, coal has been the backbone of Indonesia's energy system. But as energy demand accelerates, the conversation is beginning to shift toward what the next chapter might look like.

Whether nuclear becomes a major part of that future or not, one thing is clear: energy security will play a huge role in determining Indonesia's economic trajectory over the coming decades.

The countries that solve their energy challenges often create the foundation for sustained industrial growth, investment, and innovation.

💬 Do you think Indonesia should diversify its energy mix more aggressively, or continue building around its existing resources? 👇

Property Cycles 🌴

Every property market behaves differently.

Some markets are heavily influenced by interest rates, lending conditions, and access to financing. Others are shaped more by long-term ownership, limited supply, and investor demand.

That distinction becomes especially important during periods of economic uncertainty.

For investors, understanding what drives a market is often just as important as understanding where it is located. The strongest opportunities are not always found in the fastest-growing markets, but in markets with fundamentals that can endure across multiple cycles.

Looking beyond the headlines is often where the best investment decisions are made.

💬 What do you think creates a stronger property market: easy access to financing or long-term ownership mentality? 👇

Tax Transparency 🌍

Indonesia ranks first in the 2026 Global Tax Expenditures Transparency Index, highlighting the country’s growing focus on fiscal transparency and public accountability.

The ranking measures how openly governments report tax incentives and public spending policies, with countries like South Korea, Australia, Canada, and Germany also appearing among the global leaders.

What makes Indonesia’s position interesting is the broader signal behind it. As global investors increasingly look for transparency, governance, and long term stability, these kinds of rankings can help strengthen international confidence in emerging markets.

It also reflects how Southeast Asia’s largest economy is continuing to position itself on the global stage beyond tourism and manufacturing alone.

💬 Do you think transparency and governance will become one of the biggest competitive advantages for emerging economies? 👇

🌊 The Coastal View Illusion

One of the biggest mistakes buyers make in Bali is purchasing based on the view alone. Along the coastline, development moves fast and the ocean view you fall in love with today may not exist a few years from now.

When buying coastal property, it’s important to look beyond the scenery and focus on long-term fundamentals like land positioning, zoning, access, and overall investment sustainability.

The reality is simple: losing the view isn’t a possibility, it’s usually a matter of time.

🎧 Check out episode 9 on our channel where we dive deeper into this conversation.

Pink Zone Reality 🏝️

Many investors hear “Pink Zone” and immediately assume it’s the safest or most valuable place to invest in Bali.

While tourism zoning allows villas, restaurants, hotels, and beach clubs to legally operate, what gets developed around your property can completely change the experience and long-term value of the investment.

In fast-growing areas, quiet surroundings can quickly turn into high traffic commercial zones as development accelerates.

That’s why smart investing in Bali is not just about the property itself. It’s about understanding the future direction of the entire area around it.

💬 Do you think enough investors research what could be built around their property in the future? 👇

Bali’s Waste Challenge ♻️

Bali is pushing harder on waste separation as the island faces growing pressure from tourism, development, and rising daily waste volumes.

The goal is clear: reduce landfill overflow and encourage more sustainable habits across homes, villas, cafés, and businesses.

But the bigger debate is about infrastructure. Many believe the challenge is no longer awareness, it’s whether collection, processing, and recycling systems can keep up at scale.

As Bali continues to grow, waste management is becoming one of the island’s most important long-term issues.

💬 Do you think Bali’s current waste policies will improve the island long term? 👇

Bali’s Rental Market Shift

Bali’s property market is changing fast. After the post-COVID construction boom, the island is now seeing an oversupply of short-term rental villas in several areas.

At the same time, more people are looking for longer-term living options as short-term stays become increasingly saturated and expensive.

The conversation is no longer just about building more villas. It’s about understanding where real demand is moving and how the market is evolving.

🎧 Check out episode 14 on our channel where we break this down in detail.

Indonesia’s Economic Momentum 📈

Indonesia’s economy is growing faster than expected, reinforcing its position as one of Southeast Asia’s strongest major economies.

Rising consumer spending, increasing investment activity, and major infrastructure programs are all helping drive growth across the country.

For Bali, this matters. Stronger domestic demand and continued investor confidence support long term growth across tourism, hospitality, and real estate.

At the same time, inflation, energy prices, and global uncertainty remain important factors to watch moving forward.

💬 Do you think Indonesia can maintain this momentum through the rest of 2026? 👇
