BEKASI - Presidential Candidate number 3, Ganjar Pranowo said creating jobs is not only through building factories or capturing investments. There are various ways, one of which is to become an entrepreneur or entrepreneur.

This was conveyed by Ganjar while visiting Waste4Change, which is a waste management company in North Square, Bumipala Vida, Bekasi, West Java today, Monday, February 5.

The former Governor of Central Java (Central Java) said that in job creation, especially if it reaches 17 million, it is not enough to only build infrastructure such as factories. Through proper waste management, a person can also become an entrepreneur.

"Actually, creating 17 million jobs is not just for factories, investment, people to become employees, but also for entrepreneurs," said Ganjar to reporters at the location.

Ganjar gave an example of the Waste4Change program, with the help of the private sector, there are many commodities that can be produced. For example, a magazine with a selling value because it can be used as animal feed.

However, in the future the government cannot let go. There are only two, we want to make regulations and the second is to provide incentives to them or assistance to them," he said.

While at the location, Ganjar saw a way of managing waste which in the end could provide economic value for the surrounding community. He was accompanied by the CEO of Waste4Change, M. Wise Junareso.

"We show simple strategies and technologies that are solution to materials called waste, so that the circular economy and garbage do not repeat themselves into disasters because they are dumped and open in the final disposal site," Sano said while accompanying him.

Furthermore, Seno also hopes that Ganjar can hear the voices of scavengers and mothers driving the Waste Bank to improve disposal management. "Given that after the landslide tragedy and the explosion of the February 21, 2005 garbage mountain, Indonesia's waste management is still dominated by garbage collection," he concluded.
