Jakarta, November 8, 2026 – University Trisakti participated in the University Research and Innovation Product Exhibition in Pasar Wiwitan by The Local Market which took place on November 7-8, 2026 at SCBD Weekland – ECI Side, SCBD Park, Jakarta.

This activity serves as a strategic platform for introducing various research findings, innovative products, and outstanding works from universities to the wider public. Through this activity, it is hoped that academic research findings will not only be published but also developed into tangible products that provide benefits for health, the environment, and social well-being, as well as increasing the economic value of the community.

The participation of University Trisakti Institutee for Research and Community Service (LPPM) is a form of the Instituteion’s commitment to encouraging the downstreaming of lecturers’ research and innovation results so that they are increasingly recognized, utilized, and have added value for the lives of the community.

LPPM University Trisakti exhibited several patented products, including:

1. Portable Organic Waste Shredder with Knockdown System – Patent Number: IDS000009256
2. Plastic Waste Shredder Knife Holder – Patent Number: IDS 000010432
3. Cassava Toothpaste Made from Cassava Peel – Patent Number: IDS000012802
4. Supercapacitor-Based Hand-Cranked Power Generator for Electrical Energy Storage – Patent Number: IDS000014113
5. Process of Making Lemongrass Leaf Infusion (Cymbopogon citratus) – Patent Number: IDS000006107
6. Outdoor Shoes – Patent Number: IDD000079571
7. Necklace – Patent Number – IDD000055869

On the first day, Saturday, November 7, 2026, one of University Trisakti lecturers from the Faculty of Dentistry, drg. Florencia Livia, MKG, had the opportunity to present and explain the innovative product resulting from her research and patent, named PASTAKONG (Toothpaste from Cassava Peel and Leaf Waste).

PASTAKONG is an innovation born of concern for the potential of local natural resources, particularly cassava, a plant widely found and utilized by Indonesians. Until now, cassava peels and leaves have often been underutilized, potentially leading to waste.

Seeing this condition, University Trisakti through the research results of its lecturers, is trying to present an innovative solution by processing the potential of cassava skin and leaf waste into a herbal toothpaste product that has added value.
On the occasion, Drg. Florencia Livia explained the concept, background, and development potential of PASTAKONG to exhibition visitors. This innovation serves as a concrete example of how university research can provide creative solutions utilizing previously overlooked materials.

More than just an innovative product, PASTAKONG reflects an effort to connect science, local resource utilization, environmental awareness, and economic development opportunities. This way, waste previously considered worthless can be transformed into innovative product development materials with the potential to provide broader benefits to society.

Entering the second day, Sunday, November 8, 2026, LPPM University Trisakti again presented research and innovation contributions through a presentation delivered by the Deputy Director of Research at LPPM University Trisakti , Dr. Ir. Winnie Septiani, ST, M.Si., IPM.

In her presentation, Dr. Winnie Septiani, ST, M.Sc., IPM. introduced the Teknoplast Machine while highlighting the importance of public awareness and concern for the existence of waste and how it should be managed properly.

He emphasized that the waste problem is not solely the responsibility of the government, cleaning staff, or certain parties, but is a shared responsibility that must start from the awareness of each individual.

According to him, concern for the environment must be built from within oneself, starting from the habit of sorting, reducing, to understanding the process of processing waste produced in everyday life.

Dr. Winnie Septiani, ST, M.Si., IPM. On that occasion, she delivered an important message:
“We all need to raise our own awareness of the waste around us. We shouldn’t just shift the problem onto others if we’re not keeping our homes clean.”

This message carries a profound meaning: maintaining a clean environment isn’t enough just by ensuring trash isn’t visible around our homes. Furthermore, it requires responsibility for the entire waste management process to prevent new problems for the environment and other communities.

Through the introduction of the Teknoplast Machine, University Trisakti demonstrates the importance of technology and innovation in supporting more responsible waste management efforts. This innovation is expected to increase public awareness that waste issues can be addressed through collaboration between individual awareness, technological application, and multi-stakeholder involvement.

The University Research and Innovation Product Exhibition activity in Pasar Wiwitan by The Local Market was also attended by the Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, Prof. Stella Christie, AB, Ph.D.
On that occasion, Prof. Stella Christie, AB, Ph.D. provided motivation and encouragement to lecturers and students to continue developing a research culture, strengthening creativity, and producing new innovations that can make real contributions to society.

This encouragement serves as a reminder that universities play a crucial role as centers for the development of science, technology, and innovation. Research findings are expected to address the various challenges facing society and provide solutions to current and future needs.

This enthusiasm also motivates all universities, both public and private, to continuously improve the quality of research, expand collaboration, and encourage research results to be implemented and directly utilized by the community.
For University Trisakti , this opportunity is an important momentum to show that innovations born from the academic environment have great potential to be developed into superior products that are useful and competitive.

The participation of LPPM University Trisakti in the Pasar Wiwitan by The Local Market activity is not just about participating in exhibition activities, but is also part of an effort to introduce the results of research and innovation of higher education to the wider community.

The innovations introduced through the presentation, PASTAKONG and the Teknoplast Machine, convey complementary messages. PASTAKONG demonstrates how the potential of local materials and waste can be developed into innovative, value-added products, while the Teknoplast Machine demonstrates the importance of utilizing technology supported by shared awareness and responsibility in addressing environmental issues.

Both demonstrate that university research and innovation are not solely focused on academic achievement but must also deliver tangible benefits, address societal needs, and support sustainable development. The two-day event provided a positive impression that university research and innovation have an increasingly open space to be introduced, appreciated, and developed collaboratively with the community. Direct interaction between academics, innovators, and exhibition visitors provided a crucial platform for building communication, broadening horizons, and opening up opportunities for future collaboration.

The University Trisakti Research and Development Institutee (LPPM) hopes that participation in this activity will further strengthen the enthusiasm of lecturers and researchers to continue working, producing superior research products, and encouraging the downstreaming of research results to have a broader impact.
Because in essence, the success of research is not only measured by how high its academic achievements are, but also by how much benefit can be felt by society.

The end of the University Research and Innovation Product Exhibition in Pasar Wiwitan by The Local Market at SCBD Weekland – ECI Side, SCBD Park, Jakarta, on November 8, 2026, was a valuable experience and momentum for LPPM University Trisakti .
