Indonesian agricultural waste repurposing initiatives

Overview

Agricultural communities and researchers in Indonesia are increasingly utilizing waste products to support circular economy practices and green energy production.

Initial efforts focused on coffee waste, with initiatives in Karawang to convert coffee husks into biomass briquettes for energy and income, and in Bali to transform husks into livestock feed and organic fertilizer. These programs also emphasized food safety standards and quality maintenance.

Subsequent developments expanded these practices to other agricultural residues. In Karawang, rice husk waste is being converted into charcoal briquettes for domestic use and potential export to international markets. In Makassar, researchers are employing pyrolysis technology to produce both charcoal and liquid smoke from biomass, creating products suitable for energy, food purification, and liquid waste treatment.
