Pyrolysis Waste Processing Machine Arrives at TOSS Klungkung, Set to Operate in Early May
A waste processing machine using pyrolysis technology from Andersons Group, Cook Islands, New Zealand, arrived at the Local Waste Processing Site (TOSS) Centre in Klungkung, Bali, on Thursday afternoon (23/4/2026). With an assembly time of about one week, this machine that converts plastic waste into fuel will begin operations in early May.
“It will take about one week to assemble. We will start trials in early May,” said Director of PT Bali Bersih Bersinar, Gde Kurniawan, to the media.
PT Bali Bersih Bersinar is a local company assisting Andersons Group with the waste processing investment in Klungkung. Kurniawan explained that the pyrolysis waste machine will serve as a pilot project. He claimed that the machine from New Zealand, manufactured in China, will be the first pyrolysis machine in Indonesia.
“With a processing capacity of 8 tons per hour, this is the first in Indonesia,” he claimed.
Kurniawan continued that if processing runs for 10 hours, 80 tons of waste can be handled.
“In the future, we will maximise it to 24 hours. Initially, it can process 100 tons per day,” he added.
The same machine has previously operated in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Hong Kong. Kurniawan hopes the machine can serve as a model in efforts to eradicate Bali’s ongoing waste problems.
This New Zealand pyrolysis system consists of three machines, one of which is an electricity generator. This machine will produce electrical energy. In addition to meeting the processing machine’s needs, the generated electricity can also be supplied to residents’ homes in Klungkung.
“Hopefully, with this machine, Klungkung can produce electricity from waste,” Kurniawan hoped.
At the same location, CEO of Andersons Group, Aaron Anderson, expressed great hopes for the machine developed by the company founded by his father.
“I hope what we are doing here not only solves the existing waste problem but also has a greater impact on the social life of the community,” Aaron explained.
