Pertamina Patra Niaga has demonstrated a strong commitment to\nenvironmental preservation and community empowerment through activities\nacross its various operational regions. This commitment is tangibly\nimplemented through Community Involvement & Development programmes\noperating in areas such as Dumai, Kasim, and Makassar.<\/p>\n
Corporate Secretary of Pertamina Patra Niaga, Roberth M.V. Dumatubun,\nemphasised that this commitment is more than just a slogan, as it has\nbeen realised through concrete actions.<\/p>\n
\u201cPertamina Patra Niaga is partnering with communities around our\noperational areas to process household waste and refuse. This not only\nprovides a positive contribution to nature\u2019s preservation but also\nserves as a form of long-term community empowerment,\u201d stated Roberth in\na statement on Sunday, 14 June 2026.<\/p>\n
In Riau, specifically in the Tanjung Palas sub-district, Pertamina\nPatra Niaga Dumai Refinery initiated the \u2018Posyandu Sehati\u2019 programme,\nwhich allows residents to exchange used cooking oil for supplementary\nfeeding (PMT) for pregnant women and toddlers. In the same region, the\nWirani Rejosari Group is also actively processing organic waste into\nliquid organic fertiliser (PCO).<\/p>\n
Moving to Southwest Papua, organic waste processing is also being\nconducted by the Pertamina Patra Niaya Kasim Refinery in Malabam\nVillage, Seget District, Sorong Regency. Through the MOI (Mandiri,\nOptimal, and Integration) programme, residents of the Wahimu Farmers\nGroup process organic waste from food scraps and vegetable harvests into\npig feed for the Kamisalun Livestock Group. Subsequently, the pig manure\nis processed back into organic fertiliser to support the Wahimu Farmers\nGroup\u2019s agriculture.<\/p>\n
Commitment to the environment and community empowerment is also\nrealised through the \u2018Kampung BERLIAN\u2019 Programme, managed by the\nMakassar Integrated Terminal in collaboration with the community of\nTamalabba Sub-district. This programme provides a solution to high\nlevels of household waste through an integrated approach, ranging from\nwaste sorting and maggot cultivation via the Tamalabba Organic Centre\n(TOC), to the management of the Tasberlin waste bank, and the\ndevelopment of urban farming based on hydroponics, aquaponics, and fish\nfarming.<\/p>\n
The programme has successfully transformed the community from mere\nwaste producers into key players in environmental management. Kampung\nBERLIAN is able to reduce household waste by up to 6.7 tonnes per month,\nutilises 4 litres of used cooking oil per month, and saves 4,380 kWh of\nenergy through the use of solar energy in its hydroponic systems. The\nprogramme also generates a Social Return on Investment (SROI) of 1.50,\nmeaning every Rp1 invested by the company produces social, economic, and\nenvironmental benefits worth Rp1.50 for the community.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/turning-waste-into-blessings-pertamina-patra-niaga-empowers-communities-near-operational-areas-1781430724", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
