This initiative aims to phase out rusty corrugated iron roofs, which pose health risks and detract from environmental aesthetics, while promoting sustainable waste management through facilities like the TPST BLE in Banyumas. By integrating environmental solutions with social housing improvements, the policy seeks to enhance living standards and restore Indonesia's image as a beautiful nation for its inhabitants.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto will include roof tiles\nmade from processed plastic waste in the budget for the national housing\nrepair assistance programme, which also encompasses gentengisasi or\nhousing initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe roof tiles are quite effective, reportedly inexpensive, and this\ncould potentially be included in our budget for housing repairs. The\ncurrent housing repair budget is Rp20 million per house,\u201d said Prabowo\nafter visiting the Environmentally and Educationally Based Integrated\nWaste Processing Facility (TPST BLE) in Banyumas Regency, Central Java,\non Tuesday, as monitored from the YouTube video broadcast of the\nPresidential Secretariat in Jakarta.<\/p>\n<p>The President detailed that out of the total Rp20 million housing\nrepair budget, the component for roof tiles made from processed waste is\nestimated at Rp4-5 million. The use of this material is seen as a step\nto reduce renovation costs for low-income households.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo also emphasised the importance of transitioning from old\nroofing materials that could harm residents\u2019 health. The government\nplans to gradually reduce the use of corrugated iron in various people\u2019s\nhousing projects in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to eliminate the use of rusty corrugated iron, as rust\nultimately poses health risks to occupants, and it also looks\nunsightly,\u201d stated the President.<\/p>\n<p>According to the President, housing with rusty corrugated iron roofs\ncan damage the environmental aesthetics while also affecting residents\u2019\nhealth. The use of processed waste roof tiles is considered capable of\ncreating settlements that are far more beautiful and comfortable to live\nin.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo conveyed the vision behind the policy as restoring\nIndonesia\u2019s image as a truly beautiful country for its inhabitants. The\nintegration of waste processing and the provision of decent housing is\nviewed as a dual solution to social and environmental problems.<\/p>\n<p>The plastic roof tile products have been tested and used in several\npublic facilities in Banyumas Regency.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the President inspected the TPST BLE facility in Wlahar\nWetan Village, Banyumas, which has a processing capacity of up to 75\ntonnes per day using automatic sorting technology.<\/p>\n<p>The President hopes that the development of this technology can\naccelerate independent environmental problem management. The national\nfocus on waste processing is also aimed at improving quality of life and\npublic health across Indonesia.<\/p>",
