Waste to Zero

Project Overview

Waste to Zero is a flagship, integrated recovery facility in Kalimantan — pioneering a new path toward measurable environmental impact, premium ESG credits, and a truly circular economy.

Located in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan, Indonesia, Waste to Zero will transform municipal waste into valuable resources through advanced recovery processes. The facility is designed to start at 350 tons/day capacity, with scalable infrastructure to reach 600–750 TPD in alignment with the waste supply from Banjarmasin and Banjarbaru.

Strategically located inside a government-endorsed industrial estate, the project benefits from robust infrastructure, streamlined logistics, and proximity to key urban centers. Formal partnerships with local government will ensure policy alignment, regulatory compliance, and sustainable long-term operations.

The Material Recovery Facility (MRF) will integrate advanced MRV systems — enabling transparent Measurement, Reporting, and Verification of every environmental impact. Designed in line with global ESG and SDG frameworks such as GRI, ISSB, CSRS, and CSRD, the project is positioned to become a premium source of high-integrity environmental credits for global buyers.

Environmental Impact & Estimated Credit Volume (5 Years)

• Total Waste Processed: 630,000 tons (5 years)
• Plastics (20%): ~126,000 tons
• Organic & Compostable (52%): ~327,600 tons
• Residuals & RDF (28%): ~176,400 tons

Estimated Credit Volume (5 Years)

• Plastic Credits: ~126,000 tons
• Compost & Organic Credits: ~327,600 tons
• Carbon Credits (methane avoidance & recycling): ~250,000 tCO₂e*
• Total (All Credits): ~703,600 tons of verified impact

*Carbon Credit figure is indicative and will depend on verification methodology and baseline scenario.

Note: All figures are conservative estimates based on official DLH waste composition data. Final volumes will be determined after on-site waste composition audit and verified by accredited third parties.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the facility already operational?

The main building structure of Waste to Zero’s flagship facility in Kalimantan is complete. Processing equipment installation and environmental permitting will commence upon finalization of contracts with international buyers and verification partners. The facility is designed for a capacity of 350 tons/day, scalable to 750 TPD.

Who verifies the environmental credits?

Waste to Zero adopts a robust MRV system (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) and collaborates with globally recognized verifiers such as Verra, PCX, rePurpose Global, or South Pole, based on the type of credit and the buyer’s preference. We are also open to structuring forward contracts with verification conducted in collaboration with the buyer and mutually agreed global platforms.

Is this project exclusive to one buyer?

This project is exclusively structured for one flagship buyer, with full traceability, verified ESG/SDG credits, and exclusive rights to the full impact under a 5–10 year contract.

What frameworks do you follow?

We follow GRI, ISSB, CSRS, CSRD for sustainability reporting.
