Jakarta secures MURI record for largest simultaneous eco enzyme production

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Governor of Jakarta, Pramono Anung, has received a record from the Museum Rekor Dunia Indonesia (MURI) for the largest simultaneous production of eco-enzyme, held as part of the Jakarta Eco Future Festival (JEFF) 2026.

He stated that the award proves the strong collaboration between the government, communities, the business sector, and the public in supporting waste management. However, he emphasised that the record is not the ultimate goal, but rather a catalyst to expand public participation in reducing household waste.

“Consistency and collaboration are key. If all elements of society continue to move together, I am optimistic that waste management in Jakarta will improve and provide real benefits for the environment,” said Pramono at City Hall, Jakarta, on Friday.

According to him, JEFF 2026 serves as a momentum to strengthen public awareness regarding environmental preservation. He asserted that the effort to realise Jakarta as a global city must go hand in hand with changes in community behaviour towards greater care for cleanliness and environmental sustainability.

“Great changes are born from simple habits performed consistently. Therefore, I invite all Jakarta residents to make waste sorting a new culture towards a cleaner and more sustainable city,” Pramono expressed.

He is also optimistic that active community involvement can serve as an important foundation for realising Jakarta as a clean, healthy, resilient, and sustainable global city. “Let us make environmental care a shared culture. What we do today will be the best legacy for future generations of Jakarta,” said Pramono.

JEFF 2026 took place on 3-4 July at the Jakarta City Hall. The festival featured discussion forums, talk shows, workshops, impact talks, a volunteer corner, and the JEFF 2026 Awards.

During the festival, various issues, ranging from waste management and air quality to the circular economy and sustainable lifestyles, were discussed alongside the government, business world, communities, and the public.

Meanwhile, eco-enzyme is a liquid produced from the fermentation of organic waste, which offers various benefits for environmental cleanliness.
