Some 20 residents, representatives from RT/RW heads, RPTRA caretakers, BPS officers, and Untung Jawa Island residents, participated in socialization and education on waste management at the Amiterdam RPTRA, Saturday (5/4).

We appreciate and support OceanKita, which is committed to reducing waste in the waters and plastic waste

Untung Jawa Island Urban Village Head, Sidartawan said it is a form of synergy with OceanKita through the Seribu Biru program.

According to him, participants were educated about managing marine waste and organic waste into eco enzyme liquid.

"We appreciate and support OceanKita, which is committed to reducing waste in the waters and plastic waste," he expressed.

He explained that to collect trash in offshore waters, residents can use trawl nets from OceanKita, which are pulled by environmentally friendly and low-carbon electric motorized boats.

"Hopefully, this knowledge and skills will continue to be developed by the community, thus the waste around the waters of Java Island can be reduced," he added.

Untung Jawa Island's Amiterdam  RPTRA Caretaker, Ahya Ulumudin (33) admitted that he enjoyed gaining new knowledge and insights about waste management into eco enzymes.

According to him, the eco enzyme from organic waste has many benefits, including being a natural cleaning fluid and so forth.

"Hopefully this Seribu Biru program can make our environment clean from trash, and tourists who come feel comfortable and happy," he hoped.
