As a token of care for the customers and environment, Chatime, a brand of F&B ID - part of Kawan Lama Group, since 2022 has been undertaking SAPU PLASTIK Movement, meaning ‘collect the plastic together’. In this program, Chatime provides more than 30 dropboxes spread in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi to throw away used plastic cups and bottles. While the collected plastic waste in this program is recycled to become sellable products, such as bags, wallets, praying mats, and animal beds. SAPU PLASTIK Movement is part of upcycling to support the circular economy, in order to process unused products to become new products which are reusable.
Up to February 2024, or two years since the movement started, it collected over 2,500 kg of plastic waste or equal to 150,000 plastic cups and bottles.
Lany Cucu, General Manager Marketing F&B ID, explained, “F&B ID through Chatime is committed to keep the environment sustainable, through our various programs. Started from SAPU PLASTIK Movement that recycles used plastic cups and bottles to become new products, providing Eco Cups - paper cups which are easy to decompose, also releasing Bring Your Own Tumbler program. All these environmental actions have the same goal, reducing waste, that surely needs support from Chatimers to run well.”
