Historia fundacional
Chandra
I am trying to contribute to environment and society by taking part of collecting and treating waste properly. This contribution is by working in an e-waste recycling company. We are not only handling used and discarded electronics, but we seek how to optimize the usage of electronic devices before its end-of-life.
I still live my idealism, I’m eager to try something new and learn along the way from various sources around me. I’m not afraid to cross my comfort zone, and cannot help thinking about how to develop my idea beyond the call of duty.

Idea (estás listo para lanzarla)
This solution will add double value to our company in a go. Business wise: increase of production scale along with the increase of e-waste volume collected. Corporate social responsibility: increase of safety and overall welfare of the informal sector. Environmental responsibility: minimization of environmental impact due to inappropriate processing by informal sector recycling operation.
As a guiding image: in the last 1 year, we have collected more than 1000 printers in colaboration with its manufacturer in a take back scheme. We are projecting to collect 2-3 times more if we are not focusing on only 1 brand but allow community to discard any brand of electronics.
Establish 1 e-junkyard pilot, in collaboration with existing e-waste collector/ recycler. The e-junkyard is aimed to serve an area of approx. one city, and will become a base for replication in other areas in Indonesia.
Operation in the junkyard includes collection, segregation, simple dismantling, and transportation to authorised recycler.

This project will be part of marketing and CSR program. So it will be part of the overall company budgeting and prioritized work.
As this initiative is basically a business model, funding should be generated from result of proper e-waste processing. The initial investment and community development part might be funded as part of company’s CSR, but as the operation started it should generate funding through responsible recyclables trading. Another funding possibility is voluntary carbon market, although the mechanism still need further exploration.
We are closely working with the environment authority and now in the middle to make better aquaintance with e-junkyard.
The management supports the idea but will need a more detailed plan and schedule to fully approve it.
