Prevention of Environmental Pollution

PT Menthobi Karyatama Raya Tbk (MKTR) demonstrates a strong commitment in preventing environmental pollution through various initiatives integrated in its operations. Here are some of the main steps taken by the company:

  1. Integrated Waste Management

    MKTR, through its subsidiary PT Menthobi Hijau Lestari (MHL), operates an organic fertilizer plant that processes solid and liquid waste from the palm oil processing process. The plant is capable of processing 120 tons of empty baskets (jankos), 360 tons of liquid waste, 30 tons of solid waste, and 5 tons of boiler ash per day, producing 24-40 tons of organic fertilizer daily. This step not only reduces potential pollution, but also creates added value from industrial waste.

  2. Construction of Biomass Plant

    MKTR also built an EFB Pellet biomass plant that processes oil palm empty bunches into a renewable energy source. The project aims to reduce solid waste and support the green energy transition.

  3. Environmental Management System

    The Company implements an Environmental Management System to ensure that all operational activities comply with applicable environmental standards. This includes regular monitoring of water, air, and soil quality around operational areas to detect and prevent potential pollution.

  4. Employee Education and Training

    MKTR provides training to employees on environmentally friendly work practices and safe waste handling procedures. This aims to build a corporate culture that cares for the environment and prevents pollution from internal sources.

  5. Collaboration with Stakeholders

    The company actively collaborates with local communities, government, and environmental organizations to develop programs that support environmental preservation and prevent pollution.

    With this holistic approach, MKTR strives not only to comply with environmental regulations, but also to be a pioneer in sustainable and environmentally responsible palm oil industry practices.
