Re.juve continues to strengthen its commitment to reducing waste and preserving the environment through innovative solutions that involve the community in recycling activities, as well as promoting sustainable lifestyles to create a healthier generation. This commitment was recognized through awards received on October 7 2024, which were given to producers who were committed to implementing Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. P.75 of 2019 concerning Waste Reduction Roadmap. PT Sewu Segar Primatama, owner of the Re.juve trademark, was recognized as one of 20 manufacturers that complied with these regulations.

The Director General of Waste, Waste and Hazardous and Toxic Materials Management (PSLB3) of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Rosa Vivien Ratnawati, said, “This award is an important step to encourage the implementation of these regulations by the manufacturing, food and beverage services and retail sectors. “In this regulation, manufacturers are required to contribute to reducing waste originating from their products or packaging, with a waste reduction target of 30%.”

Re.juve, as a company in the beverage industry, received an award because it was considered successful in exceeding this target. With its flagship program, Bring Back Your Empty Bottle (BBYEB), Re.juve invites people to return empty bottles for recycling. This program, which was launched in 2019, will continue to develop by utilizing digital technology through the Re.juve App in 2024. This application allows customers to return empty bottles and get reward points of 100 points which is equivalent to Rp. 100,-. These points can be used to exchange Re.juve products at all outlets.

Surya Adiputra, Operations Director of Re.juve, stated, “The Re.juve App application has succeeded in attracting the interest of the wider community. In collaboration with the Banksasuci Waste Bank, Re.juve ensures that all bottles received can be sorted and recycled efficiently. This initiative not only supports reducing plastic waste, but also encourages the public to participate more actively in waste management. Through this synergy, Re.juve and Banksasuci hope to create a significant positive impact on the environment and increase awareness of the importance of sustainability.

PT Great Giant Livestock (PT GGL) Terbanggi Besar, Central Lampung, received a working visit from the West Sulawesi Provincial Government in order to conduct field studies regarding the potential for developing the agricultural and livestock sectors to strengthen synergies between the government and the private sector. West Sulawesi Province Assistant for Economy and Development, Muhtar, and his staff were welcomed at the Great Giant Foods Training Center on Friday (9/8).

Ferdy Fu, as FA Protein & Plant Based SubDiv Head, in his discussion explained that the existence of cattle farming in the company is part of the circular economy concept, where solid waste from pineapple skins is used as animal feed. He also revealed that managing a cattle farming business has its own challenges, especially in terms of capital. Ferdy explained that with the price of a cow ranging from IDR 15 million to IDR 18 million, profits can only be made after several months, while maintenance costs continue.

Ferdy added that livestock management can be done through a partnership pattern, although this is not easy. The main challenge is how to ensure the availability of sufficient feed throughout the year. He gave the example of conditions in West Nusa Tenggara, where there are 4 islands that can be selected for development. According to Ferdy, the availability of feed throughout the year is very important, but to achieve this requires large investments, such as in the procurement of sealer baggers which are quite expensive. Therefore, investment readiness and understanding the consequences need to be considered carefully. “Things like this must be mapped out first by stakeholders who will develop livestock, in addition to considering capital, infrastructure and feed availability,” said Ferdy.

He also mentioned that East Nusa Tenggara has Sumbawa cattle which are left to graze in the fields, but land control is an issue that needs to be considered. Ferdy cannot confirm what model is suitable for West Sulawesi, whether intensive with structured pens or extensive with the integration of oil palm plantations and cattle. “Going back to the issue of capital, then we will talk about empowering farmer-breeder communities through partnerships. What is the business model, what is the role of government and the private sector, and the position of farmers and breeders in this partnership. “All of this needs to be mapped out first because it concerns business strategy,” explained Ferdy when answering questions from guests regarding cattle partnership patterns.

Cahaya Ladara Nusantara (CLN) as an organization dedicated to advancing MSMEs, during its working visit to Central Lampung, had the opportunity to visit MSME partner PT Great Giant Pineapple (PT GGP) on Thursday (15/8). This visit was led by the Chair of CLN, Nannie Hadi Tjahjanto, who was accompanied by a group including the wife of the Deputy Minister of Manpower Afriansyah Noor, the wife of the Governor of Lampung Rianasari Arinal, Chair of IKAWATI ATR/BPN Lampung Province Ellys Kalvyn Sembiring, and Chair of Persit Kartika Chandra Kirana REM 043 PD II Sriwijaya Hanny Rikas Hidayatullah.

The group directly visited the location of PT GGP’s partner MSME activities which are engaged in maggot cultivation in Bandar Agung Village, Canal Nunyai District. Their arrival was warmly welcomed by the Chairman of the Bandar Agung maggot cultivation group, Andi Supriyadi. Apart from that, the CLN group also had the opportunity to chat with other MSME groups, such as the Waste Bank partnership group, the Women’s Farmers Group, and the Bandar Agung Village Banana Flour Partnership.

On this occasion, Cahaya Ladara Nusantara provided assistance in the form of silkworm seeds and introduced woven fabric made from pineapple leaf thread fiber to the PT GGP partner MSME group. Nannie Hadi Tjahjanto expressed her hope that this visit could provide benefits to the community, especially the residents of Bandar Agung, and be an inspiration to revive MSMEs as a promising business. “This sieve cloth is an example that there are lots of natural resources around us that can be managed into something of economic value. “Hopefully these silkworm seeds can also be developed and become new business opportunities that can be driven by MSMEs,” added Nannie.

Andi Supriyadi explained that maggot cultivation activities have received full support from PT GGP, especially in terms of supply of feed in the form of fruit that is rejected and not suitable for marketing. “We get maggot feed from company assistance, and the results of maggot cultivation are also taken
by PT GGP,” explained Andi.
