Bandung - The Chairman of the West Java Regional Council (DPRD), Buky\nWibawa, supports the procurement of waste processing machines in every\nsub-district of Bandung City as a long-term solution to address the\ncity\u2019s ongoing waste management issues. According to Buky, this\nprogramme is part of the West Java Provincial Government\u2019s strategic\nplan to reduce Bandung\u2019s dependence on the Sarimukti Landfill, which is\nfacing increasingly limited capacity.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have spoken with Governor Dedi Mulyadi, and the West Java\nProvincial Government will assist in the procurement of waste processing\nmachines for each sub-district\u2014one machine per sub-district. The waste\nwill then be processed into briquettes that can be utilised,\u201d Buky\nstated in a briefing received in Bandung on Friday.<\/p>\n
He explained that the processed waste will be converted into Refuse\nDerived Fuel (RDF), an alternative fuel in the form of briquettes that\ncan be used by the industrial sector. \u201cThis actually serves as an\nalternative to incinerator machines, which are prohibited by the\nMinistry of Environment. These machines do not burn the waste; instead,\nit is directly pressed into briquettes for subsequent use,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Buky revealed that the West Java Provincial Government\nis currently finalising the plan, including budget requirements and site\nreadiness. In addition to equipment procurement, Buky noted that the\ngovernment must ensure the availability of approximately 100 square\nmetres of land for each waste processing facility to be constructed.\n\u201cDiscussions are also ongoing regarding the construction of the\nfacilities; we must ensure that once the land and equipment are\navailable, there are no obstacles to the construction of the sites,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/west-java-regional-council-supports-waste-processing-machine-procurement-for-every-sub-district-1780814445", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
