Operasi Semut
According to the Indonesian Statistics report, COVID-19 cases in 2023 decreased by 10.2% compared to 2022. As a result, people have become more enthusiastic about outdoor activities such as Car Free Day (CFD), concerts, exhibitions, and other events. On the other hand, the waste generated from these offline events has also surged. Quoted from Liputan6.com, a single offline event like a concert can generate 6.2 tons of waste in just three days. Meanwhile, during CFD (Car Free Day), up to 5 tons of waste can be generated in a single day.
A survey by Katadata Insight Center (KIC) shows that Indonesians are still not fully aware of the importance of waste separation at the household level. The waste produced can be managed into new items with economic value. Responding to this condition, the Chandra Asri Group, through the Indonesia Asri campaign, organized the #pilahsampah activity to educate the public about the circular economy by applying the practice of waste separation (#pilahsampah) before disposal, to create a greener Indonesia.

A survey by Katadata Insight Center (KIC) stated that Indonesian residents do not yet fully understand the importance of waste separation starting from their households. Seeing this condition, the Chandra Asri Group, through the Indonesia Asri campaign, organized the #pilahsampah activity to educate the public about the circular economy through the practice of waste separation before disposal.
According to the BMKG website, one of the causes of extreme heat waves in Indonesia is global warming. This trend of global warming is also caused by the accumulation of waste dumped in landfills. Poorly managed waste produces methane and ethene gases that contribute to global warming.
Referring to this issue, Indonesia Asri is committed to applying the principles of the circular economy, where we invite all Warga Asri and the public to start adopting the practice of waste separation (#pilahsampah) and proper waste disposal (#buangsampah). This initiative is realized through the #AksiAsri Operasi Semut.

The success of previous Operasi Semut events has motivated Indonesia Asri to continue educating, inspiring, and motivating people to participate in efforts to preserve the earth. Therefore, Indonesia Asri is organizing Operation Semut Vol 5 on June 2, 2024, coinciding with World Environment Day on June 5, 2024. This event will be held in Kota Tua, Jakarta. This location was chosen because we see the potential for educating various community groups to raise awareness about waste separation culture.
