Chandra Asri Group Completes 8.6 Kilometers of Plastic Asphalt Road in BSD City

Sinar Mas Land and Chandra Asri Group inaugurated the results of their collaboration in building plastic-mixed asphalt roads in BSD City on Wednesday, December 13, 2023. The development of this circular economy-based infrastructure has been started since 2021 in the BSD City area. During this ceremony, the two companies successfully completed the construction of an 8.6-kilometer stretch of asphalt road. The collaborative achievement between Sinar Mas Land and Chandra Asri Group also marks BSD City as the first township in Indonesia to utilize plastic asphalt. The plastic asphalt road in BSD City is equivalent to utilizing 164.2 million plastic bags or diverting 410.57 tons of plastic bag waste from the landfill. Chandra Asri Group remains committed to addressing plastic waste issues through a circular economy concept. One of our efforts is to initiate the use of plastic waste as a mix for asphalt through a multi-stakeholder collaboration approach, in line with our commitment at the Our Ocean Conference 2018 to implement 100 kilometers of plastic asphalt by 2023.
