MIND ID Showcases Circular Economy Practices at Invirotech 2026

Indonesia's state-owned mining holding company, MIND ID, is actively demonstrating its commitment to environmental stewardship and the circular economy at the Invirotech 2026 exhibition. Hosted by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the event provided a platform for MIND ID to showcase its "MINERALive: Tambang yang Menghidupkan" (Mining that Enlivens) booth.

Minister of Environment and Forestry Mohammad Jumhur Hidayat emphasized the critical role of the business sector in advancing clean technologies and accelerating the circular economy to address environmental challenges. "Businesses play a vital role in implementing clean technologies, enhancing environmental compliance, and accelerating the circular economy," Jumhur stated during the exhibition's opening.

MIND ID's presence at Invirotech 2026 highlighted practical applications of its circular economy approach. The company aims to show how waste can be transformed into valuable resources, generating economic benefits for communities. Their integrated waste management strategy was presented across three main areas within the booth.

The first area featured a maggot-based organic waste processing program, already operational in various company sites. During the exhibition, organic waste from visitors was processed using maggots, visibly reducing waste volume and producing organic fertilizer. Visitors received fertilizer as an educational tool and a call to action for environmental preservation.

The second area demonstrated plastic waste management through plastic press and crusher machines, illustrating the implementation of community-based "waste banks." Visitors could contribute plastic waste for recycling. Additionally, 3D printing technology was showcased, demonstrating how inorganic waste can be repurposed into economically valuable crafts, opening new business avenues for the public. An "overcast and clear sky" installation at the booth symbolized the company's commitment to environmental transformation.
