Indonesia Global Compact Network proudly presented Dynapack Asia as a part of the SDG Innovation Accelerator for Young Professionals 2024!
As of 2023, 60% of Dynapack Asia's products are made from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. Highlighting the crucial role of community involvement in recycling industries for the sustainable development of plastic circularity, the innovators’ team created the "Community-based Indonesia HDPE Recycling Facility" innovation to achieve a net zero HDPE footprint by 2030.
By innovating a recycling facility, the innovators’ team has created a new cycle of plastic production. Plastic can be revitalized and turned into pellets that can later become materials to produce other products. This approach encourages direct interaction with waste pickers incorporating them into the value chain.
Currently, 4 dropboxes have been implemented to support sustainable consumption by consumers and assist companies in their commitment to eco-friendly production. In the future, about 16 dropboxes will be installed to reach larger audiences.
As a pilot project, the innovators’ team developed two collection centers in Jakarta and Central Java supported by ten dedicated workers, collectively handling 120 tons of HDPE waste. These workers have adequate safety equipment, good working conditions, and fair wages.
The innovators’ team will continue to commit to reducing mismanaged plastic waste and improving waste pickers' livelihoods. In 2030, the innovators’ teams are targeting to reach ‘Zero HDPE Plastic Footprint’ by collecting 24,000 tons of plastic waste, establishing 50 collection centers, and engaging 45,000 waste pickers.
