akarta-based private engineering firm PT Basuki Pratama Engineering has offered to cooperate with the administration on waste management.
The company's president director, Sujanto Basuki, said the firm had offered to operate its German machinery for hydrothermal carbonization, which could convert waste into fuel or fertilizer.
Sujanto added that the firm could also distribute mobile units to traditional markets or residences for a quicker conversion process. The machine, Sujanto claimed, was able to process both wet or dry garbage, and would not cause pollution.
Governor Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama told reporters at City Hall in Central Jakarta on Tuesday that the city was interested and asked that the firm submit its services to the e-catalog.
'Waste management is a big problem in Jakarta, so we are interested [in the cooperation]. We have asked the firm to submit its services to the e-catalog at the LKPP [National Procurement Agency], so we can purchase it,' Ahok said. (***)
