Indonesia faces a major waste problem: millions of tons of waste every year. Poor management has an impact on the environment and health. Amidst these challenges, Jangjo is here as an innovative solution to transform waste into valuable products.

One of Jangjo’s waste management approaches is using an integrated system called Jangjo Zero Waste Integrated (JOWI).

In addition, Jangjo also introduced Jangjo Element. Jangjo dedicates this unit to research and development (R&D) in waste material engineering to transform waste into products with utility value. With this approach, Jangjo hopes to accelerate the realization of more environmentally friendly and sustainable waste management solutions.

Siam Cement Group (SCG) organized Jangjo Element’s first project for the 2024 ESG Symposium, demonstrating its success. Jangjo processed 40 kg of cement sack rope waste into unique tables and totems and used other waste materials for additional components, prioritizing the principles of a sustainable circular economy.

This initiative is in line with the main objectives of the ESG Symposium 2024, which highlights three core themes: Inclusive Green Growth Initiative, Inclusive Green Business, and Inclusive Society—Growing Together. Jangjo is proud to be part of an event that highlights how collaboration between various parties and innovation can drive progress toward a more sustainable future. Jangjo expressed this sentiment in a statement on their official website.

Through projects like this, Jangjo not only provides examples of how waste can be transformed into valuable products but also shows the enormous potential of waste management into valuable products.

Hoshizora Foundation held the first “Archerity” archery class through the Sociatrip Ayobantu program, inviting Tissa Biani and the public to learn and donate for education. This class will take place in Jakarta and Yogyakarta on September 22, 2024.

This activity is part of the “Young Champions, Ready to Win!” campaign to commemorate National Sports Day. With the concept of “Learn to Donate,” Hoshizora invites the public to share in a fun way while learning archery directly with professional instructors.

“The activity is very positive because apart from exercising, we can also take part in social activities that can later be donated and provide benefits to many people,” said Tissa Biani regarding this activity.

The archery class in Jakarta took place successfully at Plaza Ar-Razzaq, Istiqlal Mosque, Central Jakarta. In addition to Tissa, Archerity Jakarta participants, from children to adults, learned archery with instructors and members of the Istiqlal Mosque Archery (Amastiq), showing support that sports can be a means of sharing for the education of Indonesian children.

Yogyakarta also hosted lively archery activities, collaborating with the UGM Archery UKM at the UGM Softball Field. The athletes from UGM Archery UKM guided the participants from warming up to practicing archery.

The CEO of the INDODAX crypto exchange platform, Oscar Darmawan, stated that he has developed the Indodax Academy, a free crypto education platform designed to improve digital and financial literacy.

“Quoted from Kompas, Oscar said, ‘This step is encouraged as an effort to support the targets of Technology Innovation in the Financial Sector (ITSK) and crypto assets by the Financial Services Authority (OJK).'”

Indodax Academy offers a variety of crypto learning materials, from the basics of crypto assets and blockchain to investment and trading strategies, which can be accessed by users of various levels of understanding, from beginners to advanced. Oscar stated that you can easily access this program through the Indodax website, YouTube, or official social media.

Oscar added, “Digital and financial literacy are key to supporting the achievement of the OJK target, which projects an increase in ITSK users to 5 million people by 2028, as stated in the OJK roadmap.”

On the other hand, OJK predicts that the transaction value of this sector will experience a rapid increase, reaching IDR 1,000 trillion in 2028—more than three times the transaction value at the beginning of 2024, which was IDR 301.75 trillion.

Oscar emphasized INDODAX’s commitment to continue developing technology and solutions according to the OJK roadmap.

“We believe that through solid collaboration and support from various parties, we can achieve significant progress in developing this sector and strengthen Indonesia’s position at the global level,” he concluded.

Waste accumulation is an issue that needs a sustainable solution, particularly in urban areas. Despite various efforts, the issue of waste piling at Waste Management Sites (TPS) remains unoptimized.

Founded in 2019, Jangjo is a startup that provides an integrated waste management solution, aiming to transform waste into valuable items. The company created the JOWI Integrated System technology, which promotes a circular economy by transforming waste into valuable products. Jangjo employs a decentralized system for waste management, preventing the process from centralizing at a single point. Waste will be weighed, sorted, and processed into Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF), or BSF maggot feed.

Joe Hansen, CEO of Jangjo, explained, “We process plastic waste into RDF for cement factories or SRF that can be turned into wooden boards.” By implementing this system, Jangjo guarantees the removal of all residue, thereby preventing the build-up of waste that could potentially lead to disease.

Additionally, Jangjo has introduced “Jang to Material” as one of the steps to combat plastic waste. This step aims to change plastic waste into useful materials. On one occasion, Oscar Darmawan visited the Jangjo waste management site and witnessed the results, namely decking from plastic waste.

Oscar stated, “Plastic waste is the biggest problem in Indonesia and is the most widely used. This is Jangjo’s solution so that there will be no more mountains of garbage in Indonesia.”

Joe added, “This technology is safer because we have conducted extensive research and developed it based on the characteristics of waste in Indonesia.” Jangjo uses local labor in developing their technology, only importing certain spare parts.

Indodax collaborated with Ayobantu to distribute 18 animals to welcome the Feast of Sacrifice Eid al-Adha 1445 Hijriah on June 17, 2024. This feast is a means to deepen piety and provide benefits to those in need.

Sensitive to this concern, the crypto asset trading platform Indodax is again distributing a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program entitled Indodax for Indonesia: “Sacrificial Animal Alms for All Corners of the Country.”. In collaboration with the online donation platform Ayobantu, Indodax has become a #BrandPeduli that donates in the form of sacrificial animals to people in need.

“As a company that has been established since 2014, I feel that we have a responsibility to society to set aside our income to carry out Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR),” said CEO of Indodax, Oscar Darmawan.

“As a brand that always cares about providing benefits to the wider community, INDODAX contributes to sharing animals with people in need to take advantage of the momentum of Eid al-Adha,” he added.

Oscar said that on Eid al-Adha 1445 H, INDODAX again distributed six (6) cows and twelve (12) goats/sheep to several areas with a limited amount of Feast of Sacrifice, including Jalan Pesing Poglar in West Jakarta and Kp Cineam in Tasikmalaya, the benefits of which were felt by around 950 residents.

Ayobantu CEO, Agnes Yuliavitriani, stated that Eid al-Adha is a holy moment full of happiness and provides benefits for everyone.

“We are thrilled to welcome the #BrandPeduli initiative from Indodax, which decided to celebrate Eid al-Adha by sharing kindness with the community in two areas. Hopefully what Indodax has done can inspire other companies to carry out similar movements to spread more kindness and wider benefits,” he concluded.

AKAR Farm, a startup company in the agri-tech sector, continues to be committed to promoting the quality of agriculture in Indonesia through collaboration with Indotech and the joining of Oscar Darmawan.

“The joining of Oscar Darmawan brings new enthusiasm and extraordinary experience as a practitioner in the technology sector and a professional businessman in Indonesia. “He has a successful history of improving company performance at Indodax and is listed on the 40 Under 40 list, according to Fortune Indonesia,” said AKAR.

This startup, headquartered in Jakarta, provides sustainable and innovative food solutions for urban areas and challenging environments, using soil-free and pesticide-free (organic) technology.

AKAR aims to transform conventional agriculture into more modern indoor agriculture. On one occasion, COO of AKAR, Hutomo Danu, stated, “We offer solutions for millennials and Gen Z who want to farm easily, considering that only 20% of them are interested in farming on land.”

We expect to produce high-quality agricultural products, including vegetables, spices, and fruits, by reducing the use of pesticides. This is possible through the optimal utilization of 1.8 square meters of land, which not only improves the quality of agricultural products but also supports sustainability and environmental health.

AKAR and Indotech hope that through the use of technology in agriculture, this collaboration can create sustainable solutions, increase productivity, and support food security. With this, it can realize a better and greener future for future generations.

Ayobantu routinely holds special programs every Ramadan. This year, during Ramadan, Indodax and Bank CIMB Niaga collaborated with Ayobantu to distribute social assistance through the “2024 Ramadan Blessings” program.

At the Al Quran Hidayatul Furqon Islamic Boarding School in Warnasari Village, East Cilebut, Sukaraja District, Bogor Regency, on March 20, 2024, Firza Daud, Ayobantu’s Chief Growth Officer (CGO), said that help from the two Caring Brands was given out.

In addition to distributing free iftar and suhoor packages for orphans, the poor, and the underprivileged, Ayobantu also carries the theme “Small Steps of Kindness for Maximum Ramadan Blessings with Ayobantu” in this year’s program.

In the collaboration, Ayobantu will distribute hundreds of packages for breaking the fast and suhoor, basic food packages for Islamic boarding schools, and hundreds of “Happy Ramadan” packages for underprivileged communities.

Oscar Darmawan, CEO of Indodax, who was also present, hopes that this assistance can ease the burden on the community and provide a sustainable positive impact. Firza also appreciated the ongoing collaboration with Indodax as a Caring Brand, as well as Bank CIMB Niaga in the Ramadan Blessing campaign initiated by Ayobantu.

Since two years ago, Ayobantu has consistently implemented four main Ramadan programs and has succeeded in distributing various aid packages to 2,383 beneficiaries. These programs include Sharing Iftar for Orphans & Dhuafa, Eid Gifts for Underprivileged Families, Alms for Places of Worship in Remote Areas of Indonesia, and Ramadan Gifts for Healing the Dhuafa.

This year’s Ramadhan, Ayobantu is again running three main programs, which started on February 1 and will run until April 10, 2024. As a donation platform in Indonesia, Ayobantu remains committed to expanding its assistance to those in need in the future.
