Rusmiati Turns Used Paper into Crafts, Turnover Reaches IDR 5 Million a Month

According to him, the opportunity to take part in exhibitions helps introduce products to more potential buyers.

Rusmiati hopes that her business can continue to grow and open up opportunities for local residents to join in the work.

"The hope is that this business will continue to develop. I also hope that there will be people around me who will join in developing this business, so that it can provide more benefits for the people around us," he said.

Support for Used Paper Craft Businesses

Head of Sudaji Village, I Made Ngurah Fajar Kurniawan, appreciated Rusmiati's creativity in processing waste paper into economically valuable products.

"The Sudaji Village Government really supports and appreciates the spirit of our MSMEs. One of them is managing paper waste which is processed into works of art which can later be marketed throughout the archipelago and the world," he said.

Fajar said the village government is trying to help MSMEs face capital, marketing and business development problems. Support is provided through coaching and collaboration with various parties.

For Rusmiati, this opportunity begins with materials that are often considered no longer useful. Used paper is processed into new goods, then becomes a source of income that he wants to develop together with local residents.
