Video: Our Heroes, Environmental Guardians, Economic Drivers

Waste does not always end up in a landfill. In the hands of those who see the potential within it, waste can become a source of income while paving the way for the community to participate in environmental protection.

Through the ‘Merdeka Lingkungan’ segment, CNBC Indonesia highlights the stories of our heroes—individuals who take simple actions that create a real impact on the environment and the economy. One such person is Tri Sugiarti, who has transformed the activity of managing and sorting waste into a livelihood for her family, while simultaneously motivating the community to take greater responsibility for the waste they produce.
