Building Practical Circular Resource Systems
Our programs turn community experience into practical systems for resource recovery.
We focus on programs that can be implemented in the field, measured over time and developed toward wider community and city-scale application.
Four connected programs. One direction.
BSU Mandiri is developing a portfolio that connects community waste recovery with broader circular resource systems. Each program has a different role in our development journey.
Community Waste Recovery
ActiveOur community-based waste recovery program, built around regular collection, weighing, recording and recovery of recyclable materials.
HORECA Resource Recovery
DevelopingExpanding our resource recovery system to restaurants, hotels and other food-service businesses through structured collection and responsible processing.
Organic Waste Recovery
Seeking FundingCollect organic waste from HORECA businesses, transport it to a dedicated processing site and turn it into useful compost.
Circular Resource Center
In DevelopmentA local hub where recyclable and organic resources can be collected, processed, measured and returned to productive use.
Not separate activities. A developing system.
The programs strengthen one another: community experience creates operational knowledge, HORECA recovery expands the model to businesses, organic recovery adds a new material stream, and the Circular Resource Center becomes supporting infrastructure. WasteLoop is the broader circular resource model connecting these components.
Organic waste should become a resource.
Our next major program focuses on HORECA organic waste. The initial model is intentionally simple: collect, transport, process and produce compost.
Small, manageable collection bins
Organic waste is placed in practical 20-liter reused paint buckets to keep individual containers manageable for staff and collectors.
Dedicated transport
A pickup-box vehicle can collect higher volumes efficiently and serve multiple HORECA locations on scheduled routes.
Simple local composting
A low-cost composting setup can be built using practical materials and adapted to the available processing site.
Compost as a useful resource
The final output is intended to return organic nutrients to productive use rather than ending as disposal waste.
Project status: This is a proposed project concept. Targets and operating assumptions should be updated as the pilot is implemented.
Designed for the real world.
We start with systems that can actually be operated under local conditions.
Collection, weighing and material flows can be tracked to demonstrate progress.
We develop models that can grow from community pilots into wider resource recovery systems.
Support a program. Build a partnership. Scale the impact.
Our programs create several pathways for collaboration — from funding a specific project to developing a CSR partnership with BSU Mandiri.
