Santika Indonesia Hotels & Resorts Strengthens Eco-Hotel Commitment Through Waste Management Programme in Collaboration With Rekosistem
Santika Indonesia Hotels & Resorts has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting sustainable hospitality practices through the launch of a Waste Management Programme & Media Gathering held at Hotel Santika Premiere Slipi in Jakarta. Following the successful “Santika Friend of Earth” initiative throughout 2025, this programme represents a tangible step in strengthening Santika Indonesia Hotels & Resorts’ positioning as a hotel network prioritising eco-hotel concepts and responsible waste management.
The programme results from a strategic collaboration between Santika Indonesia Hotels & Resorts and Rekosistem, a company focused on independent waste management that processes waste into recyclable materials and reusable resources. Through this partnership, Santika Indonesia Hotels & Resorts aims to implement a more integrated, effective, and sustainable waste management system across its hotel operations. The Waste Management Launch & Media Gathering was attended by Santika Indonesia Hotels & Resorts management representatives, Rekosistem officials, representatives from Santika units in the Jabodetabek region, and media partners.
The programme’s formal launch took place symbolically through a flag-off procession of the Waste Management truck, marking the commencement of integrated and sustainable waste management operations. The ceremony featured the raising of the Santika Friend of Earth flag by Hugo Armand Oetama, General Manager of Corporate Business Development at Santika Indonesia Hotels & Resorts, symbolising the company’s commitment to reducing environmental impact from hotel operations.
Prita Gero, Corporate Marketing Communication Manager at Santika Indonesia Hotels & Resorts, explained that the hospitality sector plays an important role in supporting environmental sustainability. Through collaboration with Rekosistem, responsible waste management systems are being implemented consistently across hotel facilities. In practice, waste will be sorted by type—including plastic, glass, and food residue. Waste will then be processed through recycling so it can be reused as everyday products. Food residue is also sorted to distinguish between acid-contaminated and reusable materials, with the latter potentially converted into compost.
Rekosistem welcomed the collaboration as a joint effort to increase awareness and implementation of improved waste management in the hospitality sector. Through this initiative, Santika Indonesia Hotels & Resorts hopes to continue advancing sustainable hospitality practices, not only within hotel operations but also encouraging guests, partners, and communities to collectively contribute to environmental protection. The programme is expected to serve as a strategic step in supporting more environmentally friendly, sustainable, and responsible tourism.
