Rorotan RDF: WIKA's Sustainable Waste Processing Solution
PT Wijaya Karya (Persero) Tbk (WIKA) is contributing to waste management solutions in Jakarta through the construction of the Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) Plant Rorotan, located in North Jakarta.
The facility, owned by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government’s Environmental Agency, was built as part of efforts to provide waste processing infrastructure that can support sustainable waste management in Jakarta.
RDF Rorotan is designed to process approximately 2,200 to 2,400 tonnes of waste per day, making the facility owned by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government the RDF plant with the largest processing capacity in the world. Based on current operational conditions, one line is already operating with a processing capacity of 800 tonnes of waste per day, while two other lines are in the preparation stage for operation.
The operation of all lines will be adjusted according to the availability of waste supply that can be delivered to the facility. In practice, the smooth transport of waste to the site is one of the factors supporting the increase in the facility’s processing capacity.
WIKA Corporate Secretary Ngatemin explained WIKA’s role in the construction of the RDF Rorotan facility and expressed the hope that the infrastructure built can be optimally utilised to support sustainable waste management in Jakarta.
“WIKA has fulfilled its commitment to delivering quality construction of the RDF Rorotan facility in accordance with the planned functions and requirements. Now that construction is complete, the operation of the facility is the authority of the managing party. We hope that RDF Rorotan can be optimally utilised and make a real contribution as one of the waste management solutions in Jakarta,” said Ngatemin in a written statement on Wednesday (12/8/2026).
Furthermore, Ngatemin stated that the operation of RDF Rorotan is also being continuously developed to ensure comfort for the surrounding community in its day-to-day operation.
“It is hoped that, with the infrastructure that has been built, RDF Rorotan can provide benefits in accordance with the purpose of its construction. We also hope that its operation can run increasingly optimally so that it always provides comfort to the surrounding community,” he added.
During a joint inspection with the Minister of Environment and the Minister of Manpower, conditions around RDF Rorotan also showed positive developments in terms of environmental comfort. Currently, conditions around the facility are observed to no longer produce disturbing odours.
RDF Rorotan processes waste into Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF), an alternative fuel that can be utilised to support industrial energy needs. The presence of this facility is expected to become part of Jakarta’s waste management solution while supporting efforts to reduce the amount of waste sent to the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Processing Site. Through the construction of RDF Rorotan, WIKA has now delivered sustainable waste management infrastructure in the province of DKI Jakarta.
