PT Menthobi Karyatama Raya Tbk is committed to running environmentally friendly operations to support long-term business success. Through its subsidiary, PT Menthobi Hijau Lestari (MHL), the company focuses on palm oil waste management, especially by processing empty baskets into organic fertilizer. In addition, liquid waste is also physically and biologically treated to be used as liquid fertilizer.

The company implements a zero burning and zero waste policy, and manages production waste consisting of non-B3 waste (such as boiler ash, fiber, shells) and hazardous waste, with the 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Solid waste such as fiber and shells are used as energy fuel, while liquid waste is utilized to produce biogas, which meets internal energy needs and helps supply electricity around the operation area.

Waste management is carried out by sorting by type, reusing paper that can still be used, and transporting the remaining waste to landfills in collaboration with the Regional Cleanliness Office or authorized partners.

Transportation of B3 waste is carried out by transporters who have permits from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the Ministry of Transportation. All B3 waste is absorbed by users / collectors who have a license from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
