MRT Jakarta Considers Route Expansion to South TangerangThis program is part of the implementation of the MRT Jakarta sustainability map action, specifically in the environmental and social aspects, with achievements in the zero waste initiative and promoting the role of the community, including people with disabilities, as agents of change.
"Through recycling old uniforms into creative and useful works, we demonstrate our commitment to sustainability issues as well as community creative economic empowerment. These recycled works will become valuable products and MRT Jakarta merchandise," he explained.
Currently, the recycling program targets employee uniforms. However, in December, a drop box launch will be conducted at all MRT Jakarta stations to accept used clothing from MRT Jakarta customers.
"This is a form of community involvement in supporting the zero waste aspect of responsible consumption and production," he explained.
