SBI Supports Sustainable Waste Management In Tangerang As RDF Off-Taker
Tuesday, 10 Dec 2024
PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia Tbk (SBI), a subsidiary of SIG, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Tangerang City Government to collaborate on utilizing refuse-derived fuel (RDF) from the Rawa Kucing Landfill in Neglasari, Tangerang. The MoU was signed by Acting Mayor of Tangerang, Dr. Nurdin, and SBI's Manufacturing Director, Soni Asrul Sani, during the inauguration of the RDF facility at Rawa Kucing on December 9, 2024.
The Rawa Kucing Landfill has been operational since 1992, covering an area of 34.8 hectares and receiving an average of 1,500 tons of waste daily from 13 districts and 104 villages.
To tackle waste issues at Rawa Kucing, the Tangerang City Government is promoting improved waste management from start to finish, aiming for a more effective and sustainable approach. A key strategy involves processing waste into RDF as a substitute for coal.
Acting Mayor Dr. Nurdin stated that the partnership between the Tangerang City Government and SBI is mutually beneficial. "RDF is an efficient technology that not only reduces waste volume but also provides economic value for both the Tangerang City Government and SBI. We thank SBI for agreeing to be the offtaker for this community-based waste management facility," said Dr. Nurdin.
The RDF facility at Rawa Kucing features two production lines, each capable of processing 25 tons of waste per day, totaling 50 tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) daily, which will be converted into 25 to 30 tons of RDF each day.
Soni Asrul Sani, SBI's Manufacturing Director, emphasized that Solusi Bangun Indonesia is committed to decarbonization, which includes reducing reliance on fossil fuel energy sources. The use of RDF is our way to help local governments tackle waste issues and create a healthy environment for the community, said Soni Asrul Sani.
SBI's commitment to environmental preservation is strengthened by its support for a division focused on eco-friendly waste management called Nathabumi. Nathabumi offers services for managing both hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste, urban waste management, waste analysis, and drilling waste management.
Nathabumi's waste management system uses a co-processing method that takes advantage of the high temperatures in cement kilns, reaching up to 1,500 degrees Celsius, which ensures no residue is left behind.
