Jakarta, June 18, 2026 – PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) officially launches the EnviroFest 2026 series through a podcast and kick-off event themed “Nature Inspired, Climate Driven.” Organized collaboratively by the Social Responsibility & Communication (SRCOM) and Environment Health & Safety (EHS) Departments, the event marks the beginning of a broader initiative that engages employees, AHEMCE companies, UT Fostered Schools (SOBAT), and community beneficiaries in a sustainable environmental movement. As part of the commemoration of World Environment Day, observed annually on June 5, EnviroFest 2026 also serves as the opening event for a series of environmental-themed activities.
The event brings together 140 participants and is officially opened by Erika Pratiwi Darmanto, Environment Health & Safety (EHS) Department Head of UT. In her remarks, she highlights the importance of fostering an environmentally conscious culture through tangible actions that individuals can practice in their daily lives. Participants also join an interactive podcast session titled “Smart Ways to Manage Waste and Adopt a Sustainable Lifestyle,” featuring Nada Arini, a digital creator known as an eco-conscious mom, and Ikbal Alexander, an environmental activist and founder of Kertabumi Recycling Center. During the session, both speakers share insights on the importance of building self-awareness in waste management at the source, reducing single-use plastic consumption, and adopting simple sustainable lifestyle practices.
The discussion identifies several systemic challenges in Indonesia’s waste management ecosystem while also exploring practical solutions that can be implemented at both household and community levels. One of the key issues highlighted is the declining motivation among households to separate waste, driven by the reality that waste sorted at home is often mixed again during collection and transportation.
To address this challenge, both communities and companies are encouraged to take a more active role by directly delivering sorted waste to nearby waste banks rather than disposing of it in general waste bins. Through this proactive approach, recyclable materials with economic value can enter the circular economy, while landfills can be reserved for residual waste that cannot be processed or reused.
Through EnviroFest 2026, UT introduces a variety of educational programs, competitions, and environmental action initiatives designed to raise awareness and encourage behavioral change toward a more environmentally responsible lifestyle. These efforts reflect UT’s commitment to environmental stewardship and are expected to generate positive impacts on environmental preservation while contributing to a more sustainable future for the nation.
