JAKARTA - The potential for environmental pollution due to waste produced from used inadequate tires will certainly continue to exist, considering that the circulation of motorcycles continues to rise every year.

Responding to the problems above, Planet Ban as a company that focuses on the ecosystem of motorcyclists in Indonesia, collaborates with CarbonEthics, an organization that has a vision to restore climate balance.

As a first step, both of them process more than 500 used motorcycle tire waste, which will become a Wave Breaker (APO). The tool stretches 150 meters long along the coastline of Bungin Hamlet, Tanjung Pakis, Karawang Regency.

Andi Harjoko, CEO of Planet Ban, explained that since its establishment, Planet Ban has had a vision to use innovation as the main foundation in building a sustainable business.

"We continue to strive to be leaders in the provision of products and services for two-wheeled riders, not only reducing the amount of tire waste but this collaboration can control abrasion and protect community settlements from sea waves," he said, in an official statement received by VOI, Monday, October 16.

Previously, Planet Ban had encouraged customers to leave used tires when buying new tires in their stores to reduce the negative impact of waste. These used tires will be reprocessed into useful products through collaboration with third parties.

This tire waste management effort is part of the implementation of the 5i principle (Emission Reduction, Conversion, Conservation, Protection and Mediation) adopted by Planet Ban in running a sustainable business.

Agung Bimo Listyanu, CEO of CarbonEthics, expressed his appreciation for the Ban Planet for its contribution and support given to efforts to improve coastal conditions in Indonesia.

"The current abrasion problem has become very serious for the survival of coastal communities in a number of regions in Indonesia. By utilizing used tire waste from Planet Ban, it is estimated that this initiative has the potential to increase the standard of living of 5 percent of the population of Tanjung Pakis Village affected by abrasion in 2026, which is calculated from the potential for land restoration of up to 10 hectares and the conservation of 40,000 mangrove trees from high waves," he said.

The success of collaboration between Planet Ban and CarbonEthics in processing used tire waste into a wave breaking tool, will be a real example of how innovation in waste management can have a positive impact on the environment and society.

"It is hoped that the solution to the Planet Ban can motivate other sectors to adopt a creative approach in overcoming environmental problems and creating a sustainable ecosystem," concluded Agung.
