Nickel export ban policy in Indonesia - a path to sustainable economic development?
No full textElectric-based vehicles (EV) come as an option for the solution over the GHG emissions problem resulting from energy production and transportation. Background. The demand for nickel, as a vital component of the lithium-ion batteries used in EV increases significantly and Indonesia plays a critical role as the owner of the world's largest nickel reserve. While exporting raw materials can increase national income, Indonesia misses out on the opportunity to capture higher value-added benefits from downstream processing and manufacturing. The nickel export ban policy is proposed by the Indonesian government as an effort to encourage the growth of the domestic nickel processing industry and capture higher value from the country’s nickel resources. From the creation of domestic value addition, industrial development, and sustainable resource management, it is hoped that Indonesia will move toward sustainable economic development. Methods. This paper reviewed component required to assess the nickel export strategy for long-term economic growth. We used a straightforward approach, outlining each sustainability principle's underlying objectives and providing justifications for why it should be considered in the nickel sector. By citing justifications for their advantages and justifications for their risks, we analyzed the existing policy. Results and discussions. Indonesia's nickel sector does not comply with sustainability principles and is used as a raw material for electric vehicle batteries, but it may only benefit a few people rather than the general welfare of the community. Conclusion. Therefore, the government's decision to impose a ban on nickel exports is correct, but it must be accompanied by efforts to improve both in terms of technology and policies regarding natural resource management. To control the power inclination to ensure sustainability and equality that sustainable natural resource management promotes, further study of the political component is required

Sustainable innovation: Economic valuation of wood waste for sustainable development at PT Wapoga Mutiara Industries
No full textBackground: This study describes the economic valuation of wood waste at PT Wapoga Mutiara Industries using the Market Price Approach to calculate the Total Economic Value (TEV) derived from utilising production waste. This research uses qualitative methods to explore how processed wood waste contributes economically to the company and the local community. Wood waste in industrial processes is often an underutilised asset. However, at PT Wapoga Mutiara Industries, innovative practices have turned this by-product into a significant economic opportunity. Method: This research investigated the direct use value of wood waste - mainly wood chips and sawdust – converted into local charcoal products, a resource increasingly recognized for its environmental and economic benefits. The research assessed the monthly economic impact of these waste products, measuring their market value to quantify the total benefits accruing to the local economy. Findings: The findings from this study are considerable, showing that wood chips alone contribute IDR 42,300,000 to the economy each month. Sawdust was processed in the same way, adding IDR 72,860,000 per month. Combined, these waste materials contribute a total direct use value of IDR 166,160,000 per month to the local economy, which on average provides a potential income of IDR 1,350,700 per person per month, suggesting there is significant economic potential from sustainable wood waste management practices. Conclusion: In addition, the study provides insight into the broader implications of such valuation practices, demonstrating that with the right innovations, what is often considered industrial waste can be re-evaluated as a viable economic resource. This aligns with the global shift towards more sustainable industrial processes, where waste minimisation and reuse contribute to environmental sustainability, economic resilience, and community well-being. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the economic valuation of wood waste in the processing industry, demonstrating the significant potential of innovative waste management practices. This research opens up new perspectives on how industrial 'waste' can be transformed into valuable economic resources, supporting environmental sustainability and the well-being of local communities

No full textIndustrial Revolution 4.0 (I4.0) is a major trend in various sectors, including IMK, which is very important in Indonesia. I4.0 supports sustainable development and sustainable business while minimizing environmental impact. This study aims to identify key resources for the adoption of Industry 4.0 and its impact on the sustainable business and circular economy of the Jakarta culinary IMK. This study uses mixed methods (mixed methodology) with exploratory analysis (Explanatory Factor Analysis/EFA) and modeling-based hypothesis testing. The initial stage involved a PRISMA-based systematic literature review (SLR) to form a theoretical model. Model testing uses structural equation modeling with partial least squares (SEM PLS). Data was obtained from field questionnaires given to 293 culinary micro- and small-industry (IMK) players in the Jakarta metropolitan area. The research results found that production system management, HR leadership, and green business operations influence the adoption of I4.0 and sustainable culinary production systems. The use of information technology as an important key also supports the adoption of Industry 4.0 and the sustainable production system of Jakarta metropolitan culinary IMK. In the end, both the adoption of Industry 4.0 and sustainable culinary production systems have a significant impact on circular economy capabilities and sustainable business. This study provides recommendations for local governments to facilitate technology adoption, provide financial support, and have adequate IT infrastructure. The government can also start integrating sustainable circularity rules into the requirements for IMK Culinary to enter the consumer goods procurement market on the government's agenda. The IMK Association can promote collaboration and education, as well as advocacy for circular IMK business. Academics can provide training and innovation research related to technology adoption and sustainable practices at culinary IMKs in Jakarta
Penerapan konsep green sharia banking di Indonesia dalam mendukung Net Zero Emission 2060
No full textThe summit in Glasgow is a big agenda for overcoming climate problems. As the owner of a large developing market in the world, Indonesia is also trying to reduce emissions produced by industry to achieve net zero emissions by 2060. Indonesia implements conventional and Sharia banking. Sharia banking is considered a means of achieving the goal of net zero emissions by 2060 because of environmentally friendly Sharia principles. The Green Sharia Banking concept is applied to solving the problems being researched. The research method is a literature review using various reading materials such as books and journals. Green Banking or Green Banking refers to financial investment for environmental programs in the context of balancing monetary chronological progress, stability of the natural environment, and protecting the ecology to achieve sustainable development. The concept of Green Sharia Banking and the goal of net zero emissions in 2060 in Indonesia are closely related because both initiatives have the same goal of reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable development. This concept is formulated in six pilot schemes to achieve net zero emissions by 2060. Collaboration with customers, suppliers, partners, and other stakeholders is needed so that Green Sharia Banking can create collective efforts to achieve carbon neutrality and promote sustainable development

Diversifikasi roti sorgum lokal unggulan untuk menuju ketahanan pangan global nusantara yang sehat
No full textGlobal food security has been tested over the last three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukrainian war, and the economic recession. State food authorities must take strategic steps to overcome a potential food crisis that could have multifaceted impacts. Food diversification with sorghum can be one solution to overcome the potential global food crisis in Indonesia and the world. One of the diversified sorghum products that can be consumed globally is bread. This study aims to analyze the advantages of the idea of superior Indonesian sorghum bread made from local varieties of sorghum in terms of agriculture, global health, and international trade economics, along with presenting a global product commercialization strategy to build the sustainable benefits of Indonesian sorghum for global food security. The study in this writing used a qualitative paradigm with a rationalistic approach. The study results show that sorghum bread has a high potential demand as a nutritional requirement for global society. The development of Nusantara sorghum bread has 2 types of products: plain bread and sandwiches made from local sorghum. The aim of local sorghum as a means of food diversification on a global scale through the concept of Indonesian sorghum bread can bring new profits to the country's economy and open up new business opportunities for the community. However, it is not easy to transform consumer behavior by consuming new carbohydrates. Hence, the selection of ingredients, improving food quality and nutrition, and policy efforts to introduce local varieties of sorghum bread products must be carried out at the local level
Proyek food estate pada lahan eks pengembangan lahan gambut di Kalimantan Tengah: perlu atau tidak?
No full textFood estate development is one of ten National Strategic Programs (PSN) for 2020-2024 carried out by the government to restore the economy due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The government, through the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), stated that the food estate project was carried out on a potential land area of 165,000 ha, which is an alluvial area, not peat, on former Peat Land Project (PLG) land in Central Kalimantan. PLG was a government policy during the New Order era, with the opening of one million hectares of PLG to address agricultural development's challenges to achieve self-sufficiency. In 1998, this program was discontinued because it was considered unsuccessful in its planning and implementation, which did not pay enough attention to environmental impacts. This study examines government policy in implementing the food estate program on former PLG land in Central Kalimantan. The study covers environmental and socio-economic aspects that are affected by the food estate program on former PLG land. The research method applies a qualitative approach by searching literature reviews on implementing food estate projects on former PLG land in Central Kalimantan. The results show that government policy through the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation Number 24 of 2020 regulates two schemes for providing forest areas for the food estate program, namely through schemes for changing the designation of forest areas and establishing forest areas for food security. Both schemes could accelerate environmental exploitation and deforestation in Central Kalimantan, which previously experienced failure in the Million Hectare PLG project. In the socio-economic aspect, food estate development must involve the surrounding community, and it is necessary to improve the quality of farmers, which includes 1) increasing knowledge, skills, and community assistance, 2) facilitating the opening of marketing networks, and 3) establishing institutions between stakeholders at the local and central levels. Implementing the food estate program in Indonesia requires an operational strategy using strong sustainability theory to minimize environmental, economic, and social impacts so that program failure does not occur as in previous policies
Solusi pengelolaan sampah plastik: pembuatan ecobrick di kelurahan agrowisata, Kota Pekanbaru, Provinsi Riau
No full textIndonesia is the second largest contributor of plastic waste in the world. In Indonesia, plastic waste is the second most common type after food waste. The increase in plastic waste is likely due to people's increasingly practical lifestyles and consumption patterns. Plastic and most other inorganic waste cannot be completely broken down by nature or decomposing microorganisms. The most significant contributors to waste in Indonesia are households, business centers, and traditional markets. This shows that households are important in discussing waste, both as producers and as agents of change in the future. One effort to reduce existing plastic waste is by making eco-bricks. Ecobricks are Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles filled with inorganic waste such as plastic, foam, packaging, and plastic. The benefits of eco-bricks are very diverse, such as reducing the amount of plastic waste, replacing bricks or building blocks, making various types of furniture, improving the community's economy, beautifying the environment, and using it in open spaces such as creating parks or buildings in the long term
