BASF to recycle used cassettes

JAKARTA (JP): PT BASF Indonesia, a cassette producer, plans to recycle used cassettes in its effort to help the government clean up the environment.

BASF spokesman Asharie Effendy said in a release made available to The Jakarta Post yesterday that cassette buyers can return used cassettes to music shops starting Dec. 2.

"A used cassette is worth Rp 200," Asharie said.

PT Basf has appointed Disc Tara shops and the Dandy Center in Blok M Plaza, Cinere Mall and CitraLand Plaza as drop off points.

The shops will give the used cassettes to the regional distributor before PT BASF Indonesia recycles them.

"We can save raw material for producing new cassettes and help the government deal with environmental problems at the same time," Asharie said. (sur)
