Waste Management Business Needs Market Certainty, KLH Strengthens Supply Chain

Business Networking Encouraged to Become Real Collaboration

The Director of PERSADA Langgeng Makmur (PLM), Bernadetta Widiandayani, emphasized the importance of continuing the networks formed during the SULE-WM program. It is hoped that the end of the mentoring will be the beginning of the development of wider business cooperation.

"We want this activity not to stop as a program closing ceremony. What is more important is how the network that has been formed can continue to develop into real cooperation, open markets, strengthen supply chains, and make waste management efforts more sustainable," explained Widiandayani.

In this activity, PLM explained the journey and achievements of the SULE-WM program. Participants then took part in discussions and meetings between business actors to explore collaboration opportunities.

A number of participants involved included UD Rajin Magelang, PT Sumber Barokah Sleman, Bowo Rosok Bantul, Hotel 101 Tugu Yogyakarta, and Hotel 101 Style Yogyakarta. The forum also involves waste processing sites based on the principles of reducing, reusing and recycling (TPS3R), waste banks, communities, educational institutions and local governments.

KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH) hopes that the relationship between waste managers, suppliers and buyers can strengthen business sustainability. This network is expected to support a circular economy through processing and reusing waste.
