Bandung promotes recycled garbage

BANDUNG: The provincial administration and the Indonesian
Design Development Institute (LPDI) have set up six centers to
recycle garbage over the past two months in a bid to develop home
industries and provide employment opportunities.

Chief of the institute Lian Lubis said each station was
expected to produce goods such as recycled papers and bags.

Lian said a recycling station could produce an average of
6,000 sheets of paper per day or about 3,000 paper bags every
day.

"We have also urged the government to cut the use of plastic
bags and begin the campaign to use recycled paper which is more
environmentally friendly," Lian said. (25/edt)
