Mojokerto – OBP or Ocean Bound Plastic is not marine debris. OBP is abandoned plastic waste (Read: non-existent or inefficient waste management) on land, which is likely to be carried away by wind or rainfall within a radius of 50 km from the sea. OBP needs to be monitored because it has the potential to endanger the sea area. This is because plastic waste that has reached the ocean will be difficult to control or manage again by humans. Obviously, plastic waste on land if not managed properly can damage the environment, especially those in the sea?

Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) is categorized into three, namely: 1) Potential OBP. is a generic category of mismanagement of plastic waste within 50 Km of the coast; 2) Waterways OBP, this category focuses on the OBP carried by the river, covering the OBP 200 m from the river bank and the OBP within the river itself; 3) Shoreline OBP, this category focuses on OBP present very close to shore, 200m from tidal line, on the coast and even in the first 100m, in the waters.

OBP management can be done by applying a circular economy (reduce, reuse, recycle). PKP has been implementing circular economics for more than 3 decades. Trusted to accept plastic waste from the lowest supplier to then be reprocessed into recycled plastic products that have been clinically tested in accordance with the standards of the world's recycle material percentage provisions. PKP can provide and adjust how many and specifications you need, of course, at a fairly competitive price in the market. Let's love the environment by using products that contain recycled ingredients!

Mojokerto – "Blood donation activities are one of the events to carry out social care actions by PT. Pradha Karya Perkasa employees in collaboration with PMI Mojokerto City to get red blood stock supply in the Mojokerto area" said Sonya as the chairman of the blood donation committee, Thursday (24/04) in front of the office of PT. Pradha Karya Perkasa, Jalan Mojosari-Pacet No. 88 Mojokerto.

The event was successfully held by collecting a total of 102 bags of red blood consisting of blood types A, B, AB, and O. Then the blood that had been collected was directly handed over to PMI. "Our employees have many who have followed blood donation before here, so with an event like this, they don't have to bother anymore to the PMI office to follow the blood donor. But it does not rule out the possibility that there are also many new participants who follow because there is this moment, judging from the enthusiasm of participants when registering themselves, " Added Sonya again.

Blood donation activities have good benefits for donors such as a more fit body after blood donation. However, not everyone can be a donor. "Like the current event, there were about 200 people who signed up but only about 100 people managed to qualify to continue donating," Sonya said. Prospective blood donors are first screened or checked the condition of the body. This is intended so that the blood obtained is good and also does not cause anything dangerous for donors afterwards. Therefore, it is highly recommended for people who will follow blood donation in the future to better prepare themselves. Moreover, this event will be held at least once every 3 months.

Price of Products Recycle More Expensive, Plastic Recycler: Not only in Indonesia, but also in Europe

Mojokerto - Some of the selling price of bottled drinking water containing recycled content tends to be more expensive in Indonesia, such as the products Evian manufactured by Group Danone, last Friday (16/7). "It happens naturally as maintains the quality of products recyle, it was not easy," said Willy Tandiyo, one of the principals of recycled plastic.

Not only that, Willy explained that another reason arose from the trendsetters from Europe who initiated the movement to recycle content. "The meaning is that each bottled drinking water that is traded must contain recycled content, at least 25%". The movement will be realized in Europe in 2025, but in Indonesia it is not yet possible. Reporting from the Plastic Recycling Update in 2020, “Indonesia's economic viability is still limited, leaving companies with little incentive to make a meaningful contribution to the plastic recycling supply chain”.

In addition, Willy hopes that the government will provide support for the industrial sector by lowering the VAT price charged to plastic recyclers. Because the price of VAT is high and uneven, causing an imbalance with the cost benefits obtained, it can kill this industry. “The government should not apply enforcement unevenly. The imposition of VAT is applied from the bottom (read: collectors/grinders) but conditions do not allow paying taxes so it is thrown to the top actors (read: processors/producers)” explained Willy ending the sharing session with the ADUPI Institution.
