Abstract

In the industrial activities of the company, one of the crucial considerations and management aspects is waste. At PT. Badak NGL, an existing environmental issue pertains to aluminum jacketing waste. This waste emanates from the factory’s operational activities, thereby presenting an opportunity for waste utilization and subsequent benefits for the company. The primary objective of this research is to convert aluminum jacketing waste into sacrificial anodes, thereby fostering the implementation of a circular economy at PT. Badak NGL. The research methodology employed is descriptive and qualitative. The principal sources of data comprise direct field observations, interviews with relevant stakeholders, and a comprehensive literature review. The integration of circular economy principles into the utilization of aluminum jacketing waste yields economic advantages for the company. To realize this sustainable circular economy, PT Badak NGL collaborates with partner organizations in the process of repurposing aluminum jacketing waste into sacrificial anodes. This collaborative approach aims to facilitate PT Badak NGL in achieving its goal of reducing aluminum jacketing waste by 8 kg/anode. Simultaneously, it endeavors to create employment opportunities for 2 personnel per anode, leading to substantial cost savings in the procurement of sacrificial anodes, amounting to Rp. 406,500.00 per anode.
