MIND ID Showcases Integrated Waste Management System at Invirotech 2026

Mining Industry Holding Indonesia, MIND ID, presented a booth titled ‘MINERALive: Tambang yang Menghidupkan’ at the Invirotech 2026 event organised by the Ministry of Environment. The booth was visited by Environment Minister Mohammad Jumhur Hidayat, who inspected first-hand the circular economy-based environmental management programmes displayed by MIND ID and its group members. Jumhur stated that the business sector has a vital role in promoting the adoption of clean technology and accelerating the circular economy as part of efforts to address various environmental challenges. ‘The business sector has an important role in implementing clean technology, improving environmental compliance, and accelerating the circular economy,’ Jumhur said during the opening of Invirotech 2026. He added that technology and innovation must continue to be developed to provide real solutions to environmental problems while helping industries fulfil their responsibilities. The MIND ID Group’s presence at the booth was part of an effort to demonstrate real practices in waste management that are oriented towards environmental impact management, as well as creating economic added value for the community. MIND ID showed that properly managed waste can become a resource that provides environmental benefits while opening economic opportunities for the public. Inside the booth, MIND ID displayed three main areas representing an integrated waste management approach. The first area featured an organic waste processing programme using maggots, which has been implemented in various operational regions. During Invirotech 2026, organic waste collected from visitors was processed directly using maggots, with results such as the volume of decomposed waste and organic fertiliser produced being openly shared. Visitors received fertiliser as an invitation to jointly restore the surrounding natural environment. In the second area, MIND ID presented a demonstration of plastic waste management using a plastic press and plastic crusher, representing the implementation of community waste bank programmes. Visitors could participate by depositing plastic waste, which was then processed and displayed as part of the recycling process. Also showcased was 3D printer technology, representing how inorganic waste within the MIND ID Group can produce useful handicraft products with added economic value. This innovation demonstrates that with appropriate innovation, waste can be utilised as economically valuable raw materials while opening business opportunities for the community. At the top of the booth, MIND ID featured an installation themed ‘cloudy and clear skies’ as a symbol of the company’s commitment to supporting a cleaner and more sustainable environment. This installation represents the long-term goal of the various waste management programmes being implemented, namely creating a better environmental quality for future generations. MIND ID believes that waste management is an important part of the mining industry’s transformation towards more sustainable practices, with the hope of garnering greater public support for strengthening innovation and technology-based environmental management practices. In line with this, Minister Jumhur emphasised that development and environmental protection should not be pitted against each other. ‘Building Indonesia does not mean ignoring the environment. Protecting the environment also does not mean forgetting development. Do not pit development against the environment,’ Jumhur said.
