BANYUMAS - President Prabowo Subianto targets national waste control in two to three years, by making the processing model in Banyumas as a reference.
When reviewing the TPST BLE (Integrated Waste Processing Center Based on Environment and Education) in Banyumas, Tuesday, April 28, Prabowo said that the system built from the household level to the district was effective and worth expanding.
"I am very impressed. This is a very good breakthrough. The technology is not too sophisticated, but it is effective and mostly local products," said Prabowo.
This model, according to the President, has attracted the attention of other regions. The Central Java Provincial Government is said to have developed a similar pattern in around 13 locations.
Prabowo ensured that the central government would come down directly. Assistance will be provided to expand and improve the existing system.
"Waste processing is now a national priority. In two or three years we must control the waste of the whole of Indonesia," he said.
He also touched on Banyumas' ambitious target of being free of waste by 2028. Prabowo immediately asked for the commitment of the regional head.
"Deal, right?" said Prabowo, who was answered by the local government.
In addition to waste processing, Prabowo highlighted the use of derivative products. One of them is tiles from processed results that are considered cheap and can be included in the home improvement program.
Currently, the budget for home repairs is around Rp. 20 million per unit. Of that amount, around Rp. 4-5 million can be allocated for tiles.
Prabowo wants the use of rusty zinc to be reduced. According to him, the material is unhealthy and damages the appearance of the environment.
"We want to eliminate the use of rusty zinc. It is unhealthy and not good to look at," he said.
He emphasized that waste management is not just a technical matter. The goal is to return a clean and livable environment.
"We want Indonesia to be really beautiful. Good tourism, we are also comfortable living," said Prabowo.
