Jakarta, June 24, 2025 — Trisakti University, through its Trisakti Waste to Value Center of Excellence, participated in the KSBB (Large-Scale Social Collaboration) Forum for the Waste Management Cluster, organized by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Environmental Agency. The event, themed “Collaborative Waste Management Pilot Project: Steps Toward Jakarta as a Clean and Sustainable Global City,” took place at Candi Bentar Hall, Putri Duyung Cottage Ancol, from 08:30 to 13:00 WIB.

This activity is part of the DKI Jakarta Province’s environmental development strategy, which prioritizes four main pillars: Clean, Comfortable, Beautiful, and Prosperous (BENYAMIN S). The forum featured several key agenda items, including opening remarks by the Head of the Environmental Agency, sharing sessions with various collaborative partners, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) covering the regions of Central Jakarta, North Jakarta, West Jakarta, East Jakarta, South Jakarta, and the Thousand Islands Regency.

Trisakti University was represented by Dr. Ir. Sally Cahyati, MT, IPM, Head of the Trisakti Waste to Value Center of Excellence. Trisakti University’s participation in this forum strengthens cross-sector collaboration for integrated and sustainable waste management, aligning with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government’s efforts to elevate Jakarta’s standing in the global city index—moving from 74th place in 2024 to 50th place by 2030.

During the sharing session, participants gained insights from the successful collaborative TPS 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) project on Jalan Joe, Jagakarsa, which involved various stakeholders such as the Environmental Agency (DLH), Nestlé, Waste4Change, and WWF.

Trisakti University is also involved in a waste management pilot project at the Tanjung Pura Waste Bank (RW 05, Pegadungan – Kalideres, West Jakarta), alongside Bina Nusantara University and several companies. This site utilizes organic and inorganic waste shredding machine technology provided through assistance from the West Jakarta Sub-agency for the Environment.

A 3,300 m² plot of land is still available, offering great potential for development into a waste management and community empowerment center. /p>

Universitas Trisakti is also opening opportunities for research and community service, including spatial planning, waste management assistance, the development of business models for 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) waste facilities, the processing of plastic waste into marketable products, and the exploration of innovations such as the use of maggots and pollution-free incinerators.

As a follow-up, a site visit to the pilot project location with stakeholders is scheduled for Thursday, July 3, 2025. The KSBB Forum will also hold a follow-up Focus Group Discussion (FGD) involving several major universities and relevant institutions to discuss measures for integrating waste management in DKI Jakarta more comprehensively.
