JAKARTA - Bumoon.io, an Indonesian startup based on the use of blockchain technology, internet of things (IOT), and artificial intelligence (AI), supports the government's steps to solve environmental problems, by collaborating with Wastelab and Sampangan.

The collaboration of three startups engaged in environmental management and sustainability, as well as answering the challenge of the Minister of SOEs, Erick Thohir, to become part of the 50 best startups in Indonesia.

The co-founder of Bumoon.io, Happy Murdianto said, this collaboration will work in managing garbage mining with their respective fields and expertise. He said, Bumoon.io will support the government in reducing the earth's temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius until 2030.

"We will make tools that are planted in trees to measure the level of carbon absorbed by the trees, and measure how much oxygen they produce. That way, carbon levels will be monitored accurately, so that the Indonesian people take part in carbon trading," said Happy Murdianto, in his written statement, quoted Wednesday, September 22.

Happy said, with the signing of this cooperation agreement, each party hopes to make a positive contribution to Indonesia, as well as to expand the network with the support of the Ministry of SOEs.

"We also invite people to start switching to the use of solar panels in their homes, so that electricity consumption can be reduced significantly," he added.

Meanwhile, the Co-Founder of Sampangan, Muhammad Fauzal Rizki, said that his party will take part in the processing of all types of waste to become products that have a selling value. Sampangan has a tool called Magic Box that can process all kinds of waste without residue.

"With the Magic Box that we have, all kinds of waste can be processed into various derivative products that are of sale value, such as bio-disinfectants, liquid smoke, and activated carbon. With this recycling process, there are no more problems with the accumulation of waste as we experienced during this," said Fauzal.

Co-founder of Wastelab Indonesia, Salvira Milano Zen added, Wastelab will contribute to the sorting and processing of plastic waste.

"Wastelab Indonesia will receive plastic waste from the community to be processed into useful derivative products," he explained.

According to Salvira, the problem of plastic waste is not only experienced by Indonesia, but the whole world. Wastelab Indonesia is here to contribute in tackling the problem of plastic waste.

"We will recycle all types of plastic waste to be reprocessed into useful derivative products. That way, gradually, Indonesia will get out of the problem of plastic waste," he explained.
