Jakarta - Indonesia\u2019s state-owned mining holding company, MIND ID,\nparticipated in the Invirotech 2026 exhibition organised by the Ministry\nof Environment. The company presented a booth titled \u2018MINERALive:\nTambang yang Menghidupkan\u2019 (Mines that Enliven).<\/p>\n
Minister of Environment Mohammad Jumhur Hidayat stated that the\nbusiness sector plays a crucial role in promoting clean technology and\naccelerating the circular economy to address environmental challenges.\n\u2018The business sector has an important role in implementing clean\ntechnology, improving environmental compliance, and accelerating the\ncircular economy,\u2019 he said on Friday (12\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n
According to Jumhur, technology and innovation must be continuously\ndeveloped to provide real solutions to environmental problems while\nhelping industries fulfil their responsibilities. \u2018INDO ENVIROTECH is a\nspace that brings together ideas and needs, technology and field\nproblems, innovation and policy, as well as commitment and\nimplementation,\u2019 he said. He added that technology must deliver concrete\nbenefits for the industrial sector and society. \u2018Technology must help\nindustries meet their environmental obligations,\u2019 Jumhur stated.<\/p>\n
The MIND ID booth was visited by Minister Jumhur, who reviewed\nvarious circular economy-based environmental management programmes\npresented by MIND ID and its group members. The group\u2019s presence at the\nexhibition aimed to demonstrate waste management practices focused on\nenvironmental impact mitigation while creating economic value for\ncommunities. MIND ID showed that properly managed waste can become a\nresource that provides environmental benefits and opens economic\nopportunities for the public.<\/p>\n
Within the booth, MIND ID showcased three main areas representing an\nintegrated waste management approach. The first area featured an organic\nwaste processing programme using maggots, which has been implemented\nacross various operational regions. During the exhibition, organic waste\ncollected from visitors was processed directly using maggots, with\nresults such as decomposed waste volume and organic fertiliser output\ndisplayed transparently. Visitors received fertiliser as an invitation\nto participate in restoring the surrounding natural environment.<\/p>\n
In the second area, MIND ID presented a demonstration of plastic\nwaste management using plastic press and plastic crusher equipment,\nrepresenting the implementation of community waste bank programmes.\nVisitors could participate by depositing plastic waste, which was then\nprocessed and displayed as part of the recycling process. A 3D printer\nwas also showcased to demonstrate that inorganic waste within the MIND\nID Group can be transformed into useful, economically valuable\nhandicraft products. This innovation illustrates that with appropriate\ntechnology, waste can be utilised as economically valuable raw materials\nwhile creating business opportunities for communities.<\/p>\n
At the top of the booth, MIND ID installed a themed display featuring\n\u2018cloudy and clear skies\u2019 as a symbol of the company\u2019s commitment to\nsupporting a cleaner and more sustainable environment. This installation\nrepresents the long-term goal of the various waste management\nprogrammes: to create a better environmental quality for future\ngenerations.<\/p>\n
MIND ID believes that waste management is an integral part of the\nmining industry\u2019s transformation towards more sustainable practices. The\ncompany hopes for increased public support for strengthening innovation-\nand technology-based environmental management practices. For MIND ID,\nmining is not only about producing minerals but also ensuring that every\nprocess contributes positively to the environment and society. In line\nwith this, Minister Jumhur stressed that development and environmental\nprotection should not be pitted against each other. \u2018Building Indonesia\ndoes not mean ignoring the environment. Protecting the environment does\nnot mean forgetting development. Do not pit development against the\nenvironment,\u2019 he asserted.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/mind-id-showcases-waste-management-practices-at-invirotech-1781250672", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
