3R (reduce, reuse, recycle): DO NOT JUST A SLOGAN

People's minds, Selisik, February 2, 2009, Handri Handriansyah.

Waste problems are common problems that must be addressed in synergy by the government, businesses, and communities. He emphasizes waste management starting from the manufacturers. Garbage should be the responsibility of each. Immediately end land use permit end disposal place (TPA) in District Sarimukti CIPATAT, West Bandung regency (KBB), in 2018, will be the main obstacle in the handling of waste matter in the city of Bandung. Given the limited land owned by the city. The planned use of the Village Legoknangka area Ciherang, Nagreg district, Bandung regency landfill that will be shared, also still has constraints. One of them is about the cost of transporting waste.

But what power, the city of Bandung has no more land to be landfill. Since long, many pundits speculated would be a problem in waste management in Bandung. Landfill system is no longer considered appropriate to address the garbage problem. Various alternative solutions were emerging, ranging from systems implementation 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle), composting, to processing waste into electrical energy. PT Bandung Raya Indah Lestari (Bril), a private company, offers a solution to the problem of garbage in the city of Bandung with the proposed construction of power plants waste (PLTSa).

The emergence of the idea was not without consideration. According to the Director of PT Bril, Soenaryo Yoseph, his party and the government of Bandung at first did not just think about as a solution to the problem PLTSa Bandung garbage. "We briefly considered the 3R system, making compost and organic fertilizer. Everything has been thought strengths and weaknesses," said Yoseph in Bandung, Saturday (31 / 1).

3R principle, says Joseph, is still considered the best, because it can create something that empowers people have not been used in order to be used again. However, in practice, the application of 3R requires high awareness of the whole community and should become a culture. "To cultivate something takes very long time, whereas our current garbage piling up," he said.

Meanwhile, to process waste into organic fertilizer that requires high technology investment cost is too great. From another perspective, the composition of the waste the city of Bandung is also not supported to be able to produce organic fertilizer. "It also applies to making compost, compost production technology especially the most modern, fastest takes 15 days. That means we need a fixed land to accommodate the waste collected for 16 days. Not to mention the problem of marketing the compost produced," said Yoseph explains .

From all these considerations, finally PT Bril and the government set PLTSa Bandung as the best solution in solving the garbage problem. This decision was considered as a reasonable step by environmental experts from the Center for Industrial Engineering, Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Ari Darmawan Pasek. According to Ari, each city / district must have its own considerations in the determination of their waste solution, in accordance with existing conditions.

Without these considerations aside, members of the Board of Forestry and Environmental Observer Tatar Sunda (DPKLTS), Sobirin Supardiyono rate, the waste issue is a matter that must be addressed together in synergy by the government, relevant agencies, and communities. For that, he emphasized that waste management starting from their respective manufacturers. "We're talking in the context of households in the community that became the source of waste production early. Garbage should be the responsibility of each," he said.

According to Sobirin, the weight of garbage produced in the city of Bandung is now nearly matching the weight of 1000 elephants. "If the spread, plastic garbage each day to cover 250 football fields. The paper pulp is made in the amount of offset the amount of pulp from timber tree 500. In other big cities are not much different circumstances. However, a special Bandung in waste problem because of geographical conditions of the central basin and the human community, "he said. The problem was, said Sobirin, will not be complete if the nearly 90% of the population of Bandung still do not care about their waste, such as right now. "They're just hoping the officer transported the waste, because it was already paid fees. They do not know, PD Hygiene conditions are not ideal sometimes. There are times when truck broke down because of damaged spare parts and all kinds of other obstacles, "said Sobirin. He acknowledged, in order to realize this is the need to survive in the long term."

Though many say the 3R's just a slogan, but if implemented can be seen the results. What is important, there is confidence, awareness, and the desire for profit, moral contract, real action, and familiarization. If it was filled, I'm sure everyone can come true even spent a generation or about 30 years, "he said. View current conditions, Sobirin appreciate all the government's plan to address the continued mounting garbage. Including the construction of the landfill instead PLTSa. "But we will never know PLTSa is good or not if not try on a small scale. If it was a good result, shown to the public and continue. If not, it must be stopped," he said. Regarding the possibility of testing small-scale PLTSa, Joseph said that the decision in the hands of government. However, for implementation, need to die as an investment to build roads at least Rp 35 billion. "Investment PLTSa not a profitable business investment.

For small-scale, investment certainly will not return. However, we actually do not need to hesitate and try on a small scale. After all, large scale existing in foreign countries has proved to be good and running without interruption, "he said. When asked about the profits to be earned as the manager later PLTSa, Yoseph did not deny that there are benefits even if there were not large. PLTSa Gedebage For the capacity production of 500 tons of waste / day and produces about 6 mw of electricity, PT Bril be issued with an investment of Rp 300 billion (calculated in 2005).

According to Yoseph, from a sewage treatment fee income and the proceeds generated electricity, the new investment will be back in 12-15 years time. "Therefore we ask for time management 20 years. It's a long time and fortunately not much. However, this is not just a business, but our awareness of the citizens of Bandung to the problem of waste. If you count the pros and cons, there are many more profitable investment, "Yoseph said. (Handri Handriansyah / "PR")

Takakura DRUM

Koji Takakura earn Copyright No. P00200600206 for Organic Waste Composting Process Takakura Method Household Scale. What about larger households such as boarding, food stalls, Warteg, catering home? Mr. Koji Takakura has gained Rights (IPR) No. P00200600206 for Organic Waste Composting Process Takakura Method Household Scale or known by Takakura Home Method. Through NGOs PUSDAKOTA Surabaya, Takakura composter unit or a close called Basket Takakura increasingly recognized not only in Surabaya, but has spread to various cities in Indonesia. Composting with Takakura basket is ideal for households that consisted of 4-7 people for family size of about 40cm x 25cm x70cm.

What about the household as the larger dorms or diner or Warteg, catering home? Drum Garden Karinda develop Takakura. At first we accommodate the questions of the trainees who have a problem with the number of organic waste collected every day. Of course we want to find a solution, unfortunately if a lot of organic waste disposed. Finally we found the answer that is by Drum Takakura.

Every morning we exercise morning walk through the "early market" is a collection of artisans vegetables hung on Earth residential boulevard in Jakarta Karang Indah South every day from 6 o'clock until 11 o'clock. We see those activities that generate organic waste from fresh vegetables sortiran to be marketable and the remaining unsold. Considerable amount, about 10-12 kg of vegetable 7 artisans. In our minds the idea to turn this garbage into "money". But the land in the narrow Karinda Gardens, was filled with a variety of models for waste composting like leaves. Then we tried to use an old steel drum was cut into two parts to a volume of 100 L. Price drums used without the lid Rp.35.000, typically used for pots. To qualify as a vessel composting method of Takakura, the bottom and sides were given a few holes with a drill. For the base and the "blanket" made fiber pads with size 70cm x 70cm. Interior wall coated with a folded cardboard box out and tied with rope so as not to move if the compost is mixed. Used as a compost activator solid half-baked from the basket which is full Takakura (15-20kg).

Before you put the drum, chopped or shredded waste with a knife and then mixed with sawdust to add "brown trash" is an element of carbon. This garbage should not be mixed with the shrimp shells, scales and entrails of fish because it will cause the smell. It's amazing that the dough becomes very hot compost, if measured with a thermometer can reach 60 ° C and out of steaming water vapor-kepul like when we cook the rice. There is no bad smell, which smelled slightly sour smell only because the fermentation process. Every day a new garbage and diaaduk inserted to the bottom of the drum so well blended. New garbage will compost is fermented by microbes. Volume will shrink because the vegetables contain a lot of water, which is used for drinking and spreading compost microbes.

Oxygen for microbial respiration should be sufficient, by stirring each time entering a new garbage. Within 30-40 days the drum is full, but not yet fully mature compost because there's a new garbage. Visible still green among the black compost. Temperature is still hot. We have to ripen before about 2 weeks, until all the dough into compost and the temperature was not warm anymore. Next compost quality "super" can be harvested, the price could reach more than Rp1000/kg. Once harvested from one drum Takakura can produce 60-70 kg of compost.

To continue making a new compost bin, take 15 kg of the compost mixture is still hot (before it ripened) and transferred to a new drum Takakura. Please try, you can be "addicted" and eager to be a container for organic waste in the morning market. Sri Murniati Djamaludin, Garden Manager Karinda complete address and phone number in this blog.

Basket Composter Takakura

Developed by Mr. and Mrs. Djamaludin, Park Karinda Bandung, Jl. Alfa 92 Cigadung, July 20, 2007


Composting is a very useful way for students, singles, small families, because it can be placed in the room, apartment, or in ordinary houses. In my visit to the home Mr. and Mrs. Djamaludin, owner of the garden compost Karinda, in Lebak Bulus, Jakarta, I got a new science, which is cheaper to compost with a plastic bag containers.

Composting is a very useful way for students, singles, small families, because it can be placed in the room, apartment, or in ordinary houses. According to Mother Djamaludin, the concept of making compost with this basket was introduced by Mr.. Takakura training at the household waste management in Surabaya PUSDAKOTA. This apparently Mr practical experience. Takakura himself in Japan. So this is known as basket Basket Takakura.

Plastic basket easily found in shops or markets that sell grocery goods household. Its size is only about 50 liters, usually used for dirty clothes basket containers before washing.

This way:

First, find the basket-sized 50-liter small holes (so that people can not enter rat). Do not forget if you buy this plastic basket below the lid.

Second, search doos used bottled water containers, or containers used super noodles, as long as you go into the basket. Doos for direct containers from materials that will dikomposkan.

Third, fill in this doos the finished compost. If you previously did not make their own compost, you just ask your friend who has a stock of ready-made compost. Spread compost into it doos thick layer of approximately 5 cm. Layer of finished compost serves as a starter composting process, because in the finished compost that contains many microbes pengurai. After that doos enter into a plastic basket.

Fourth, the materials to be dikomposkan been incorporated into the basket. The materials should dikomposkan include: Time of food from the table: rice, vegetables, fruit leather. Time vegetables raw kitchen: root vegetables, stem vegetables unused. Before you put in the basket, should be cut into small pieces until the size of 2 cm x 2 cm.

Fifth, every day even after every meal, do include the materials that will dikomposkan like the previous stage. And so on. Stir, stir every finished adding materials that will dikomposkan. If necessary add another layer of finished compost. Strangely, doos in this basket is not full time, because the materials in this doos deflate. Sometimes this compost citrus flavored, if we put a lot of orange peel. When the compost is dark brown color and temperature equal to room temperature, the compost can be used already.

Note: for this Takakura Cart composter, try to secondhand milk coconut vegetables, meat and other ingredients that contain proteins not included in doos. Given his starter had been using the finished compost, then MOL (microbial workshops) are not used.
