Pertamina Eco RunFest 2026 Unveils Eco-Friendly Jersey
Pertamina Eco RunFest continues to strengthen its initiative as a sustainable event. Environmentally friendly principles form the foundation and spirit of the Eco RunFest 2026 series of activities. Partnering with local sports apparel brand Manta Liberta, Eco RunFest 2026 presents an eco-friendly jersey.
VP Corporate Communication of PT Pertamina (Persero), Muhammad Baron, said that the use of eco-friendly jerseys is Pertamina’s commitment to presenting an environmentally friendly event with optimal waste management aspects.
“The use of eco-friendly jerseys is one of Pertamina’s commitments to ensure that the implementation of Eco RunFest 2026 truly prioritises environmental aspects,” said Baron in a written statement on Friday (28/8/2026).
Baron explained that the activity involves around 14,000 Eco Run runners and 10,000 visitors to the Energizing Music Festival. Thus, this activity becomes a broad space to invite the public to move together to protect the environment.
This spirit is also in line with the main message of Pertamina Eco RunFest 2026, which invites the public not only to run, but also to move together to protect the earth through various habits and real actions.
“From a jersey, we can see how material that was previously waste can have a new life. This is a real form of how sustainability principles can be applied in an activity that involves the wider community,” he explained.
Co-Founder of Manta Liberta, Aldy Nur Prastya, said that Manta Liberta and Pertamina are committed to conducting research and developing jersey materials dedicated specifically for Pertamina Eco RunFest 2026 with materials certified by the global recycle standard.
This collaboration is also an opportunity to show that materials previously considered waste still have the potential to be processed into products of value. The production of this eco jersey is projected to absorb up to 210,000 plastic bottle waste items, equivalent to 2.5 tonnes of plastic bottle waste.
“Besides the recycled material aspect, performance features are also a priority. The recycled material of this jersey also has anti-bacterial, anti-odour and moisture-wicking specifications,” explained Aldy.
According to him, the development of products based on recycled materials requires the involvement of various parties, from material collection, processing, to design and production. “Cross-sector collaboration is important to expand the utilisation of materials that still have value,” he said.
The eco jersey is one of seven sustainability initiatives in Pertamina Eco RunFest 2026. In addition to the reuse of materials through the eco jersey, Pertamina presents eco innovation, eco mission, eco talent, eco production, eco waste management, and eco education.
The seven initiatives are designed to expand the impact of the activity, from encouraging waste management innovation in schools, applying circular principles in event production, managing waste from upstream to downstream, to education about environmental footprints. Pertamina Eco RunFest 2026 will be held on 6 December 2026 at the East Parking Plaza and Istora, Senayan, Jakarta.
