Commemorating the 2022 Indonesia's National Waste Awareness Day (HPSN) 2022, Chandra Asri collaborated with Dini Trisyanti, Director of Sustainable Waste Indonesia (SWI) and Dr. Eng Astryd Viandila Dahlan, an Academic who also serves as a Lecturer at Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Indonesia in Indonesia to discuss about "Waste Management in Indonesia Based on Circular Economy". This activity is a manifestation of the Company's commitment to continue educating community on better waste management in Indonesia and to raise public awareness about the importance of waste management, especially plastic waste using circular economy concept. Speaking in the same occasion, the Director of Chandra Asri, Edi Rivai said, Chandra Asri puts forward the circular economy concept in its role addressing the plastic waste problem in Indonesia and hopes that more parties will participate in this initiative to jointly support the Government of Indonesia in achieving its waste management goals. Using same momentum, Chandra Asri started an internal campaign #NabungSampahPlastik to encourage its employees to sort waste from home and reduce waste that ends up in Final Disposal Sites (TPA). The collected waste will be managed and processed by a third party to turn it back into raw materials and other useful products. This campaign will last for one year and the total waste collection will be announced on 2023 during the Indonesia's National Waste Awareness Day.
