Circular Economy
Indonesia has a mounting waste problem while facing increasing water scarcity projection by 2045. At the same time, strengthening resilience to climate-related disasters is crucial for fostering sustainable economic growth.
Therefore, we are seeking innovative solutions that promote both waste and water circularity and help adapt to climate-related disasters. Our goal is to prevent and manage pollution, improve community health, enhance resilience to climate change impacts, and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
What we look out for in a solution:
- Advanced Material Recovery: Tech-enabled recycling for complex and high-value waste streams (e.g., e-waste, solar panels, wind turbine blades, lithium-ion batteries).
- Bio-Based Alternatives: Scalable, low-emission, or compostable materials designed to replace single-use plastics and petroleum-based packaging.
- Waste-to-Value Infrastructure: Technologies that divert organic waste from landfills to prevent methane emissions (e.g., biochar production, black soldier fly processing, biogas digesters).
- Water Circularity: High-efficiency industrial water recycling, wastewater valorization (extracting value from wastewater), and smart leak detection systems.
- Climate Adaptation Technology: Systems and infrastructure designed to help communities adapt to climate-related disasters, such as flood-resilient circular water management, drought-adaptive resource recovery, and disaster-relief infrastructure built from upcycled materials.
- Textile & Fashion Circularity: Fiber-to-fiber recycling technologies, sustainable/low-impact dyes, and zero-waste manufacturing processes.
- Built Environment Circularity: Upcycling of construction and demolition waste into new building materials.
- Circular Supply Chains: Traceability platforms, reverse logistics software, and reusable packaging systems.
