Presidential candidate (candidate) number 3, Ganjar Pranowo inspects waste management at the Waste4Change Material Recovery House in Bekasi City, West Java (West Java), Monday, February 5.

Ganjar said there is a great opportunity to be able to move the circular economy in Indonesia by minimizing waste to zero.

"I think this is quite good and can be shown to the public that it has been going on since 2015. They have been managing since Leuwigajah there was a landslide, then Bantar Gebang has also been a buildup that has not been completed for a long time. I challenge it can't be resolved? Yes," said Ganjar.

He said, talking about the circular economy, in this case Waste4Change, has completed it by processing plastic waste into RDF, organic waste into Maggot food which can encourage food security from supply chains to high protein animal feed.

Ganjar said the local government had provided incentives for the circular economic boost. Women in the waste processing environment also provide input to establish one unital waste bank per community unit (RW).

"This is the best example that just needs to replicate, the sandbox regulatory for trials, this can be done. So, opening 17 million jobs is not just for investment factories, being employees, but also being entrepreneurs with this example," said Ganjar.

The former Governor of Central Java (Central Java) then continued, "There are only two left, we make the second regulation to provide incentives to them or assistance to them."

The waste management service company based on Waste4Change is able to process waste as much as 60 tons per day. West4Change already has clients consisting of 200 institutions, institutions and 1,500 houses of residents by ensuring an economic circular.
