Handful of Diamonds In Trash Heap

Hidayat, Director of Mitratani Self Prime (Mittran). The business manage waste into renewable energy, and sell it to utilities. A number of residential waste management services are now wearing them.
What volume of waste generated per day of capital? According to the records of DKI Jakarta Sanitation Department, each person in the garbage the city produces an average of 2.9 liters per day. With a population of about 12 million people, including the commuter, every day they pile up 26 945 cubic meters or about 6,000 tons of garbage. If all the rubbish had been piled at the Park National Monument (Monas), which covers about 110 hectares, certainly within 40 days the park will be transformed into one-meter-high pile of garbage!. 


Instead of processed adhere to the principle of reuse, reduce, recycle, waste was simply dumped on the Final Disposal (TPA) Bantar Gebang. If you do not take into account the carrying capacity, it is not impossible cases longsornya midden that killed local people likely to recur. Latest news, now there are six companies from Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and Singapore are competing waste management project in Bantar Gebang. They claim to be able to process and generate carbon credits based on the concept of clean development mechanism (CDM).
Indeed, on the outskirts of Jakarta, there Hidayat who can manage the waste according to the CDM concept earlier. Under the auspices of the Foundation House Change, PT Mitratani Self Prime (Mittran) his has to do the things that foreign entrepreneurs had promised two years ago. He was even able to supply biomass for several companies. 



Trash exchanged Milk
Originally, the Hidayat is a supplier to the supermarket Hero chrysanthemum flower. In addition, since 1993, he also produces waste processing machinery, such as plastic or presses a thrasher garbage. However, the majority of machines sold was just a mere decoration. Buyers, who mostly come from a number of local governments, not to optimize its operation. "Rather than mangkrak machine in the barn, why not all companies offer waste management services?" Thought Hidayat, at the time.
As a first step, Hidayat offers the concept of waste management in the neighborhood where he lived, in the region Jatimurni, Bekasi. "Resistance citizens immense," he moaned. Men born in Magelang, August 26, 1963 was then requested permission of the RT / RW authorities to install trash cans on the main streets of many villages inhabited by lower social class society. One of the first month, every morning, employees Mittran pick up the trash. As an introduction, he is not charging a penny. A month passed, before a meeting of citizens, it offers an option: people will continue to use his services to clean up the environment or not. As a result, all residents continue to use the services of Mittran consensus. As an entrepreneur, he then said that the service is not free. 


For each bin, he is allowed to charge fees Rp30.000 per month. One barrel can be used together or individually. If the six families taking a barrel, means each family only pay Rp 5,000 per month. Later, with the pickup, Mittran workers will only take waste that is inserted in the barrel. If there is a runoff, they would leave in place originally. "I want people to calculate how much rubbish they produce each day," said Hidayat. So, if people want to cut trees or hold a celebration, which will produce garbage if more than usual, they should coordinate with the Mittran.
Well, that waste was spilling out of the barrel, the company offers barter for goods that can be recycled, such as telephone books, old newspapers, or a bottle of ketchup. Each kilogram, the company gave a 500 that can be exchanged with eggs, instant noodles, or milk. According to this Kusmayawati husband, the program can stimulate people to sort garbage to be discarded. 


Options wearing barrels, instead of cement garbage bins, and place them on major roads, excluding the narrow alley, this is for the sake of efficiency. Hidayat account to collect the garbage can take 1.2 minutes. Compare with the trash that takes 6 minutes because staff have to scratch deeper. This means, in one hour, the officer is able to collect 40-50 Mittran barrel. If the officer working hours only six hours, they can pick up trash from 300 barrels in a region inhabited by 1500 families. "We are implementing systems such as PLN. If the resident fails to pay the levy, the company will withdraw and leave the garbage cans are scattered in front of their homes, "said an only child who grew up in this military family environment. Tong was, he added, belong to the company. 


In addition to dealing with waste in the region Jatimurni, Mittran also serves waste management in housing in the area Cinere, Cibubur, and Citeureup, besides Ciroyom Market, Bandung. "If you just buy the garbage processing machines, customers come from all over Indonesia," said UI graduate of the Faculty of Economics, proud. Now Mittran overwhelmed serve the demand from residential developers who terpincut with corporate style manage waste. However, companies do not take any chances. Because the volume of incoming waste must be balanced with a processing capacity of processing machine, so there are no hoarding. Every day, new Mittran able to manage the 7.5 tonnes of garbage.
Law of Conservation of Energy 


After the garbage collected, pickup immediately drove to the place of processing. There, waste put into sorting machine. The organic waste will be composted, while inorganic will experience a longer process, namely through the chopper and washing machine. The result was there were two options. Plastic waste which is still in good condition will be sold for recycling by other parties, while the trash that can not be left unharmed again be compacted to be used as biomass. Customer Mittran biomass is made of cement plants of PT Indocement Tunggal Tbk. They asked for 10,000 tons of biomass per month, unfortunately, can meet new Mittran 300 tons. This does not include requests from other cement plant, PT Holcim Indonesia Tbk., And several sugar mills. "They use biomass as fuel prices more expensive and want to get carbon credits," said Hidayat. Currently, more Hidayat, it was exploring cooperation with Japan for the technology of plastic into diesel fuel modifier, and of carrier gas methane contained in waste. 


Mittran currently employs 25 employees of the management, and dozens of freelance workers at the mills. For packing compost, for example, companies receive unemployment pay Rp100 per bag produced. In the morning they put the ID card, in the afternoon can take it back plus the money from his labors. Under the auspices of the Foundation House Change, Mittran held a 1000 creation of entrepreneur programs rubbish. They educate prospective entrepreneurs who are interested in developing this business in other regions. "This extraordinary business opportunity. If managed properly, waste can be very valuable, "said Roy Kuntjoro, Hidayat partners in the House Amendment. 


Basically, Mittran business grounded in the law of conservation of energy, and Hidayat by wrapping it with the theory of intelligent business. "Now, if you see the leaves fall from the tree, I immediately thought, ah, that's energy. If we were, could get money, "Hidayat said, laughing. This billiard enthusiasts deplore the potential energy and businesses that are stored in waste piles at the landfill Bantar Gebang, Leuwigajah, or Keputih, but not used optimally. "Rather than bother digging coal in the bowels of the earth, why not get it from the garbage that is around us?" He asked. 


From the trash business, according to estimates Warta Ekonomi, Mittran get at least 225 million per month. This does not include revenues from sales of machines, garbage fees, garbage fees prospective entrepreneurs, and the fee from the company its customers. "Just enough to enjoy life," said the father of Tio and Yoga, the calm. Nevertheless, he returned the profits to the community in the form of education. Therefore, the business prospects of exceptional value, less than ten years she plans to register his company to the trading floor. Once a row, the company can pursue environmental hygiene, getting alternative energy, and of course-pundinya fatten coffers.
