"Tridi Oasis" Efforts to Recycle Plastic Waste for Economic Value

Tridi Oasis recycles waste bottles and sachets into high-quality materials for industrial use, the majority being sent for export

Citing data from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Indonesia was the second largest contributor to plastic waste worldwide in 2019 with 3,21 million metric tons per year. China occupies the first position with 8,81 million metric tons per year. Already the largest producer, Indonesia is also unable to process waste. According to the Plastics Management Index, Indonesia is generally still behind Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia.

Various negative assumptions are definitely prominent when looking at the conditions above. Not surprisingly, the government has imposed a ban on the use of single-use plastics in a number of areas to reduce the rate of plastic waste. However, there is a positive side that can be raised from the problems above, namely lifting waste so that it has economic value that can empower the community. With this view, Dian Kurniawati (CEO) and Dinda Utami Ishah (COO) founded Tridi Oasis in 2016.

Personally, Dian has an interest in managing plastic waste, even though she herself has no background in the circular world. Previously, Dian worked as a consultant in a number of multinational companies.

"I see waste as a raw material, a problem that becomes an opportunity where there is an opportunity from an economic perspective that can create a new economy that has social and environmental impacts," said Dian during a visit to the Tridi Oasis factory in Tangerang, Tuesday (25/10).
