In Jakarta, the first US-Indonesia municipal waste-to-bioproducts project, known as JababECO, was recently launched at an event attended by US vice president Mike Pence and the Indonesian vice president Jusuf Kalla.
The municipal waste-to-bioproducts plant will process food waste into bioproducts, including bioethanol. When complete, JababECO will produce approximately 500,000 gallons of bioethanol, as well as a protein concentrate to be used as liquid fertilizer and animal feed.
Setyono Djuandi Darmono, chairman and founder of Jababeka & Co believes his company is breaking new ground in dealing with Indonesia's waste management. He believes that cities of the future need new and innovative approaches to outgrow challenges, and believes that JababECO will prove to be an ideal waste solution for Jakarta's needs.
