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.
