Upon returning to Indonesia in 2013, he transitioned to a role at GIZ, specifically for the V-NAMAs Project (Vertically Integrated Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions). This initiative focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the municipal solid waste management (MSWM) sector. Additionally, Rangga has served as a team leader at the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, spearheading the development of municipal solid waste master plans for various cities in Indonesia. Since joining the SWI team in 2018, he has led numerous research and implementation projects, collaborating closely with associations, industries, brands, and other stakeholders.
Our Program
Our program builds collaboration to turn waste into useful energy and collect plastics responsibly, creating a cleaner.
Design for Recycling
SWI’s collaboration with FUREC marks a significant step towards advocating for sustainable packaging solutions
Energy Recovery from Waste
In the collaborative journey since 2019, SWI and Material Recovery Facility Bakti Bumi in Sidoarjo have achieved remarkable milestones in waste management
Material Recycling Value Chain
The collaborative efforts between SWI, Nestle Indonesia, IPR, and plastic recycling SMEs in Indonesia stand as a testament to the power of partnerships in driving positive change
Plastic Waste Collection
Since its inception in 2021, our collaborative effort has persevered, driven by the dual mission of expanding plastic waste collection for a circular economy while enhancing traceability for responsible sourcing
Research
The comprehensive array of projects showcases the pivotal role in catalyzing sustainable waste management practices across Indonesia. From pioneering academic papers and legal frameworks on waste utilization in the cement industry to conducting meticulous research on waste composition and generation rates in various Indonesian cities, SWI’s expertise spans technical assistance, field trials, and institutional capacity assessments.
Promoting Local Knowledge
Our partnership with both international allies and local stakeholders highlights a comprehensive strategy aimed at attaining zero waste leakage and implementing circular waste management practices. This approach prioritizes not just technological progress, but also takes into account socio-economic factors and environmental sustainability by promoting local knowledge expertise. SWI is dedicated to promoting responsible sourcing criteria, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and advancing Indonesia’s transition towards a circular economy model.
Inclusivity
We firmly believe that the pivotal role played by facility workers and downstream suppliers is crucial to the program’s success. Consequently, they should not only benefit from increased income resulting from a higher quantity of waste sold/sorted but also share in the broader positive outcomes by enhancing safety, environmental practices, human rights, and the circular economic ecosystem.
PROGRAM
Design
for Recycling
SWI’s collaboration with FUREC marks a significant step towards advocating for sustainable packaging solutions. By addressing the challenges associated with MLP demand, collection, and sorting, the partnership aims to create a more sustainable future for the packaging industry. Through a concerted effort involving industry stakeholders, government bodies, and consumers, the vision of a majority population of recyclable MLP can become a reality, ushering in a new era of environmental responsibility and resource conservation.
Energy Recovery
from Waste
In the collaborative journey since 2019, SWI and Material Recovery Facility Bakti Bumi in Sidoarjo have achieved remarkable milestones in waste management. Through research and development efforts, they have implemented locally adaptable technology, producing Refused Derived Fuel (RDF)
Material Recycling
Value Chain
The collaborative efforts between SWI, Nestle Indonesia, IPR, and plastic recycling SMEs in Indonesia stand as a testament to the power of partnerships in driving positive change. By combining environmental stewardship with economic development, this initiative not only addresses the pressing issue of plastic waste but also sets a precedent for future endeavors in sustainable business ecosystems. As the success of the partnership continues to unfold, it serves as an inspiring model for other regions and industries grappling with the challenges of plastic pollution.
Plastic Waste Collection
Collaboration of PT. Nestle Indonesia, Sustainable Waste Indonesia, and Indonesia Plastic Recycler.
Since its inception in 2021, our collaborative effort has persevered, driven by the dual mission of expanding plastic waste collection for a circular economy while enhancing traceability for responsible sourcing. This initiative engages directly with over 30 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across Java Island, forging a network that includes aggregators, recyclers, and waste facility operators. Together, these partners have amassed tens of thousands of additional tons of plastic, spanning a variety of types from rigid to film, monolayer to multilayer, transforming them into valuable products.
