\n

Like much of the rest of the world, Indonesia has a problem with plastic pollution. Fortunately, individuals can inspire workplaces and communities to make a positive difference. A small act of creativity can transform workplaces into eco-friendly spaces. That\u2019s the story of one of our gardeners, Masrudin, who has shown simple ideas and a bit of initiative can put us on path toward a greener future.<\/p>\n

Masrudin’s inspiring creativity<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Masrudin takes care of the garden at one of our customers\u2019 premises in Jakarta. He saw that visitors in the parking area often left rubbish behind. Instead of waiting for someone to solve the problem, he decided to act.<\/p>\n

He began collecting used chemical containers from the site\u2019s waste collection areas and turned them into rubbish bins. After cleaning them and cutting off the tops, he painted them in different colours to separate organic, non-organic, and hazardous waste. The bins are now a clear, visible way to encourage proper disposal and basic waste sorting on-site.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \u201cAs a gardener, I often notice rubbish scattered in the parking area. So I created bins that people can use, not just for throwing things away but also to sort the waste properly.\u201d <\/p>\n

His idea has been well received by both the customer and OCS Indonesia<\/a> team. It\u2019s a small step, but one that helps build better habits in waste disposal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finding use in what\u2019s left behind<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Masrudin has found a use for discarded items. He has also reused old tyres to make borders for the garden. After cleaning and painting them, he turned the tyres into plant pots that keep the space organised and visually tidy.<\/p>\n

His efforts gained recognition through two TRUE Star programme in the categories of Respect and Empowerment. He is modestly hopeful of helping to develop a culture of better waste management.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n “I realised that creativity can make a difference. Many people still don\u2019t know how to sort waste, so even simple changes like these bins can help raise awareness.\u201d <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Doing what we can, where we are<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Plastic pollution continues to be one of the world\u2019s biggest environmental problems. This year\u2019s World Environment Day <\/strong>theme, #BeatPlasticPollution<\/strong>, reminds us that reusing plastic and keeping it out of landfills is one way we can all help.<\/p>\n

At OCS Indonesia, we support this effort by encouraging circular approach, finding ways to extend the life of materials and reduce waste. From our offices to customer sites across Indonesia, we believe sustainability starts with the basics.<\/p>\n

Masrudin\u2019s story is just one example. He stood up and took action<\/a>. He saw a problem and used what was already around him to improve things. That\u2019s the kind of thinking that makes a real difference.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
