"From 08.00 dozens of employees gathered in the courtyard, starting with morning exercise as a campaign to increase the body's immunity to stay healthy in the midst of the pandemic, then continued with cleanup action by collecting garbage and sorting it out in the office environment,” said YABN's HRGA HSE Novika Sari.

The garbage collected was sorted by type, then taken to the nearest waste management facility.

Waste sorting, especially at home or from it source, was the key element that determines the efficiency, effectiveness, success, and sustainability of waste management.

“We donate the sorted waste which have economic value to the Maluyung Bersinar Waste Bank, which is under the guidance of YABN, to be managed,” said Novika.
