Some creative ways to recycle plastic waste in Indonesia
Did you know that Indonesia only manages to recycle 10% of plastic waste every year, that's a sign that 90% of plastic waste has not been recycled and ends up in landfill. This is what inspired the recycling factory
1. Ecollabo eight .
which is in the North Kuta area of Badung Bali, here, plastic bottle waste from beauty products and household necessities is transformed into beautiful items and has high economic value. The method is quite easy. Plastic bottles that have been washed clean are then chopped using a chopping machine after changing to a smaller size. These plastics are printed according to what the castamer ordered, such as combs, mirrors, hangers for children's toys and other aesthetic furniture, every day 500 kg of plastic waste can be recycled in this place and the Ecollabo 8 plastic waste recycling plant. will work on thousands of orders from enthusiasts and environmentalists. The plastic is not just any plastic, you know, only good quality plastic can be processed in this place. If plastic waste has been dumped in the sea for a long time, the quality of the plastic will decrease and cannot be recycled again. This activity has been around for 2 years, at least 2 years 2 months, the inspiration came from a YouTube video from Africa from the country of Uganda there making paving using sand and recycled plastic but the sand situation in Indonesia send the meaning not very good so I started activities with 100% plastic recycling starts with the process starting from grinding plastic plastic recycling collect it at The Body Shop shop below here we are ground up and ground we make plastic boxes like plywood from seeds we can cut all products from combs to children's toys can also make walls 15% Profits from this factory are donated to the Orphanage and for other social activities such as helping residents affected by the pandemic in the future the ecollabo 8 plastic waste recycling plant will combine the use of glass and plastic waste which will also be shaped into beautiful dolls and beautiful furniture.
2. I swear plastic waste is increasing day by day and also piling up if we talk about waste related to how to recycle plastic waste so that it has its benefits, so it's beautiful to look at like that.
oath garbage oath oath oath It means that we swear this garbage is turned into something, not trash anymore. At first, it was like seeing a lot of trash, so our problem is plastic bag waste, so this crackle bag is light in nature. It's not worth it. he's more or less non-existent, so if you don't pick him up, what do you do in your environment? Accept the oath, this garbage is just for crackle waste. At first, it's like that. The type of plastic uses a plastic analyzer because we will separate it later because it is dangerous if we get the treatment wrong, the danger is more toxic, the part is to separate garbage, yes, we direct the community to be alone with the understanding that we convey, right, please separate this crackle The type of Aqua bottle is separated but we also have one if we own it Second, for example, the community's garbage came from the community in the past, so the question is when we ask that question because it's different from the usual from garbage that is still from the beginning and then light, it can be paving blocks like this, it's very easy, there is no process that is really clean, right? wecollect it from the community, try to take it. What is it from our community, we don't wash it first, we immediately chop it with a chopping machine that we also make, are we not plastic, actually it has a filter, we can do anything, sand can be waste too, okay? What's important is that it is solid and resistant It's hot because it will be melted down and then collected in the chop, if you look at the pieces, it's already as small as this, because later on, we will enter the options for the dough and then print it out and print it according to the tok mold, okay, plastic injection, that's not plastic anymore. Let's just try to follow it. Press it into the mold following the shape, the principle is that that's all it means if this mold is bigger, the engine is bigger too, yes, it's also different. It's bigger. We want to put it in, it's a bit hot, so it's liquid, it will take more than 1 minute. cold hands, cold clouds fast, if you can produce how much if We haven't mass-produced this product yet, so it can process around 150 pairs of engine blocks, because later on that machine will have a printer's volume counter, that's 1 machine, it has quality control too, so there will be so later we will test the compressive strength, basically it must be in accordance with the standard This SNI has started a system, actually from the process, we are actually able to teach it, we can teach it, then we provide the machine so that it looks like a system so that it can be done instead of ordering Rp. 180,000, we have one. There are only others who are still hot prospects around. From the island of Java, there has been an exit from the island of Java. 1 dollar of this technology must be spread throughout Indonesia. Indonesia is listed as the second country after China as the largest producer of plastic waste in the world, a title that is certainly not proud and misleading. Various complicated issues are Panji Prawisudha, a conversion expert. energy from the Bandung Institute of Technology which is currently working on developed a tool called
3. Wet torrefaction reactor that can convert waste such as diaper waste that cannot be recycled into building materials, namely bricks, after being investigated, turned out to be stronger and lighter than ordinary bricks. This is only 50% made up of plastic and 50% That is, if we now have more excreta, it's actually better because it becomes a nutrient as organic liquid fertilizer, so there are some products from when we cook it. the outside is just a mixture of coffee and sugar, there's no fighting, how do you separate it, I put it in the machine, this tool is a hydrothermal device, it has kilos and Karma, so it's heated and cooked with dad, the simple source is like a pressure cooker, the fish bones are made of plastic too different So when is the same as plastic, how is it like that So he is if it's a wedding, it's just temporary if the plastic is hard so after that we share it after filtering then we can use this cotton for other applications what is this one that has been dried So if you look at the paper, it's actually original paper but it was crushed and then put in anyway we can enter the machine if this is a household version so it uses 800 watts of electricity then we put it in here it looks like a blender it can also so far we haven't commercialized it for small ankles which are still too expensive all stainless steel So compared to a blender it is much more expensive we are trying to make it the price will be cheap first then people can try it So put it in here what's the name, tell me to make itthe main thing is put in here, just put it like that so we don't need to chop it then we pour water then after that it comes out so something like the front comes out so like this front we are still using Freshcare, here is the pressure gauge because it's like a pressure cooker, just turn it on the motor is already on then it is asked if it starts then we just leave it. How long does the main process take, it only takes 30 minutes, it takes a long 30 minutes, isn't it still hot? This product that has been destroyed because of the bricks has been pressure tested. So maybe around 30% is still an advantage. So if it is a mixture of cement and sand, if this is because it is mixed with diapers, it becomes fibrous with the same volume, it is lighter, stronger, has higher strength. higher because he has fiber and besides If for example there is an earthquake because he is still fibrous like this, it's been recommended but it can't be destroyed because there is fiber because it is mixed with sand cement too, mix sand cement, we reduce the amount of sand, we reduce the amount of sand, we just found 30% apart from that also for crafts like this stone it's on sale now for an example only so here the biggest problem is to get the principal to get the principal to get the principal in large quantities then after that we can make sure that it can be sold that's a different thing but experimentally it has worked this way the process has worked.
