Ricky Winoto said that his party also wants to invite the public to have a mindset related to plastic waste which is not just waste. There is more value.
“We realize that since 1991, we don’t just want to make a profit. But, we also want to contribute to plastic waste management for a more sustainable future,” explained Ricky Winoto.
One example of plastic waste that can be managed again is PET bottle plastic waste. Ricky said that his party would synergize with several companies that use PET plastic.
