Waste management in a power plant presents daily challenges. <\/em>For Harsono, our general service colleague, it was an opportunity to devise a practical solution. He built a simple manual press that now helps him and his team handle plastic waste more efficiently.<\/p>\n

Turning a challenge into a practical answer<\/strong><\/h4>\n

OCS Indonesia<\/a> delivers integrated facilities management at one of Southeast Asia\u2019s largest power plants in Central Java. Thousands of people work across the site daily, generating a steady stream of waste. Plastic food and drink packaging makes up a significant portion.<\/p>\n

When Harsono saw this plastic accumulating in the temporary storage area and taking up valuable space, he decided to go beyond his usual duties. Using scrap iron and metal plates, and applying welding skills he gained through OCS training, he built a manual press to reduce the bulk of plastic waste.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n \n \n <\/g>\n <\/svg>\n
\n

\n \u201cThe training has been very useful as it allows us to support different kinds of work, including welding for site maintenance.\u201d <\/p>\n

Harsono designed the press with his area supervisor and assembled it between shifts. The result is a solid, easy-to-use tool that meets daily operational needs. He also trained his teammates on its use, integrating the press into their routine waste management<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Measurable impact and personal recognition<\/strong><\/h4>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n

The press compacts around 35 kilograms of plastic waste per cycle, significantly reducing its bulk. Despite the high volume of waste generated, it prevents plastic in the storage area from overflowing and keeps the space tidy and organised. Compacting the plastic also makes transportation to waste banks or landfill more efficient.<\/p>\n

Harsono\u2019s initiative has improved daily operations while supporting his own development. For this contribution, OCS Indonesia awarded him a TRUE Star programme in the Empowerment category.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n \n \n <\/g>\n <\/svg>\n
\n

\n \u201cReceiving recognition for the press is incredibly motivating. It makes me feel seen and valued, and encourages all of us to innovate and improve our workspaces.\u201d <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n

His story exemplifies how practical skills and the right training can create a meaningful impact. By using available materials and his own initiative, Harsono has helped make waste management at the power plant more efficient and sustainable.<\/p>\n <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
