UD. Bintang Sejahtera is a plastic recycling
company registered in Kota Mataram (TDP
: 23.5.52.05512, and SIUP : 23.07/2012-02/0118 ) with production
volume up to 40 tons per month. We started our business in January 2010 with
two major concerns, to take a part in solving the waste problems and create
jobs for unskilled and uneducated people who live under poverty line in Lombok.
At the moment we already hired 6 operators and 25 personnel to sort out our raw
materials. They can earn from IDR 600.000 to 1.000.000 per month. We buy
plastic waste from our suppliers, and process it with two crushing machines,
then sell it to some buyer companies in Surabaya (PT. Sumber Plastik, PT. Duta
Waru Plastik, etc). Our supplier networks cover the area of Kota Mataram,
Lombok Barat, Lombok Tengah and Lombok Timur. Nevertheless, we also include the
street vendors and restaurants in Kota Mataram in our supplier networks. From
approximately 20 big suppliers throughout Lombok, 2.500 street vendors and
restaurants in Kota Mataram and all Waste Landfills in Lombok and Sumbawa (up
to 2000 tons plastic waste are available), the supply of plastic waste is
sufficient for plastic business today and tomorrow.
In doing our works, we
cooperate with communities, individuals, schools and private parties/companies
as well as government institutions. We have close
cooperation with Bank Sampah Kota Mataram under the supervision of Department
of Sanitation of Kota Mataram (Dinas Kebersihan) to manage the waste of Kota
Mataram. We also give support to Tourism Department (Dinas Pariwisata) of West
Nusa Tenggara Province in their efforts to clean the environment which will
give great contribution to green tourism in West Nusa Tenggara. Together we are
creating a progressive movement as a breakthrough in changing the features of
West Nusa Tenggara Province, for the people and the environment..
