Chandra Asri and Sinarmas Land Continue Plastic to Food Program

With Sinarmas Land (SML), Chandra Asri continues the Plastic to Food partnership. This time Chandra Asri is collaborating with SML's subsidiary, PT Maligi Permata Industrial Estate (operator of the KIIC industrial area), which is located in Dusun Kiarajaya, Margamulya Village, Karawang Regency. This activity aims to encourage the segregation of waste from sources and be wise in managing waste, especially plastic waste. Through this program, every kilogram of segregated plastic waste collected by residents can be exchanged for one kilogram of rice. Through the participation of 217 families from Dusun Kiarajaya, this program collected 500 kg of plastic waste within six months. The collected high-value plastic waste is then sold to recyclers, while the low-value plastic waste is further processed into plastic-based fuels equivalent to kerosene, diesel, and gasoline at the Chandra Asri Waste Management Facility, Industri Pengelolaan Sampah Terpadu-Atasi Sampah, Kelola Mandiri (IPST ASARI).
