As part of the award's evaluation process, Indaco’s eco-friendly technology system received high praise particularly for its waste conversion technique. Within this specific area, the company’s capacity to manage liquid waste as well as non-hazardous and toxic solid waste in addition to initiatives to reduce emissions were lauded as contributing positive changes to Karanganyar’s community development. Moreover, Indaco’s 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) programme served to bolster the company’s chances of attaining the award given that this measure has been thoroughly adopted within its business operations; the company’s staff members are encouraged to partake in trash collection and waste management activities; among other environmentally-friendly projects developed by Indaco includes its Garbage Bank and streamlined Waste Conversion system. The latest Karanganyar Award stands as testament to Indaco’s steadfast dedication towards achieving sustainability for Karanganyar’s environment and society which it will continue to uphold throughout the years.
