♻️ If we can refill our water with reusable packaging through gallons, why can't we do the same our shampoo, cleaning products, or even our coffee? In our latest #BerdayaTalk session, we had the opportunity to sit down with Renata Felichiko Nurandhita, CCO at Alner to discuss why reuse should be a bigger part of the conversation. While #recycling is essential, it’s not the only answer to our growing waste problem. Reuse offers a way to extend the lifecycle of products, reduce waste at the source, and create more sustainable consumption patterns. Through this #reuse initiative, Alner has successfully helped reduce 138,000 single-use packages in 2023 alone and prevented more than 20,000 kilograms of CO2 emissions since 2021. Not only you are saving the planet, but you are also saving your wallet - as the reuse system are cheaper for consumers in the long run. The article is also packed with insights for #startups talking about the importance of distribution and being customer-centric 👉 Are you ready to learn join the reuse movement?

Raising Environmentally Conscious Generations: Alner at Playdoo Event, Mall Ciputra Cibubur Last Sunday, our CCO of Alner , Renata Felichiko Nurandhita, had the opportunity to introduce Alner’s eco-friendly business system and highlight the importance of educating children about environmental care at the Playdoo event in Mall Ciputra Cibubur. Teaching children about sustainability from an early age is crucial, as studies from UNICEF show that environmental education can increase their likelihood of living eco-friendly lives by 20-25%. With Indonesia being the second-largest contributor to plastic waste globally, instilling the 3R principles (reduce, reuse, recycle) in the next generation is more important than ever. At Alner , we are committed to not only educating our customers but also future generations. By fostering good habits early on, we can collectively work towards a greener, more sustainable future for our planet.

Exciting times at the Asia Reuse Consortium in Bangkok! Alner had the honor to participate in this groundbreaking exhibition event where global experts (Devayani Khare, Rahyang Nusantara, S.P., M.I.Kom, MIPR, Marian Ledesma, Salisa Traipipitsiriwat, Darina Maulana, David Treesuvit Arriyavat) discussed transformative reuse and refill systems. Our presence highlights Alner's innovative packaging solutions, including reusable packaging made from recycled plastic designed for up to 50 uses, were showcased, aiming to significantly reduce single-use packaging production and tackle packaging waste at its source. The discussions were a testament to the power of collaboration, with a focus on scaling up solutions that can drive real change. As we push forward, Alner remains dedicated to supporting #PlasticFreeFuture, advocating for a future where single-use plastics are replaced by sustainable, reusable alternatives. Thanks to Zero Waste Living Lab (a program by Enviu) | Bintang Ekananda | Renata Felichiko Nurandhita for involving Alner in this excellent event. Together, we’re rethinking the way we use plastic and building a better future for our planet. 🌱 #Sustainability #Reuse #CircularEconomy #Alner

Indonesia is facing not only a democracy crisis but also a waste crisis! Did you know that producers in Indonesia generate 62 million tons of waste every year, with most of it ending up in landfills, creating mountains of garbage? At Alner , we've partnered with dozens of brands, e.g PT UNZA VITALIS (A business unit of Wipro Consumer Care), PT YAGI Natural Indonesia , Utama Spice, Safi , etc., that have adopted reuse and refill systems. However, to make a significant impact on reducing plastic pollution, we need more brands to join us. Without real action, it’s estimated that by 2040, the amount of plastic in our oceans will outweigh the fish! Your role as a consumer and producer is crucial in the transition to reuse and refill systems. While challenging, with a clear goal, strong collaboration, mature infrastructure, market support, and proper regulations, we can reduce the 10 million tons of single-use plastic produced annually in Indonesia. For producers yet to make the shift, Alner is ready to collaborate to ensure your products benefit not only consumers but also the planet. It’s time to move beyond just raising our voices—it’s time to take concrete steps to address this issue. Start now, and commit to se-REUSE to stop waste production!

On August 10, 2024, Alner successfully hosted the event “Mulai se-REUSE Berkreasi untuk Bumi” in collaboration with Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth The event not only promoted the habit of reuse but also marked the first introduction of the Alner Mitra App to the participants. One of our partners, Anita from Cantik Resik Waste Bank, previously faced difficulties in reaching new customers and efficiently managing her business operations. Her sales were limited to word-of-mouth and local reach, and she often felt overwhelmed by the administrative tasks required to keep her business running smoothly. Anita wishes, by adopting Alner Mitra App, her business will be transformed. Anita shared, "The Alner Mitra App has simplified everything for me. I can reach more customers through my digital store, stay motivated with the tiering system, and learn new strategies to grow my business—all in one place. It's been an absolute game-changer." This testimonial from Anita underscores how the Alner Mitra App is not just a tool, but a comprehensive solution that equips our partners with the resources they need to succeed and grow their businesses. On the other hand, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our exceptional speakers—Tantyo Bangun, CEO of Kecipir, Nur Hasan Manager social impact at Mastercard Indonesia, and Renata Felichiko Nurandhita Chief Commercial Officer of Alner—who provided valuable insights into the world of reuse business and the challenges of transitioning to a circular economy. We are also proud to share that this event was conducted entirely without single-use plastics. From decorations and F&B to the #BersalingSilang workshop and Reuse Bazaar, we successfully avoided using 305 single-use packaging—all replaced with reusable alternatives! This event proved that hosting a large gathering without single-use packaging is not only possible but also impactful when we commit to it.

We are proud to announce that our CEO, Bintang Ekananda, has been featured in the latest article by The Jakarta Post, July 27, 2024! The article highlights how Bintang, through Alner , is tackling the climate crisis by combating single-use plastics with reusable and returnable packaging. This is a significant achievement that provides more opportunities to introduce our sustainability business to a wider audience. As part of the digital ecosystem, Bintang believes Alner has an advantage in communicating and understanding the needs and preferences of younger audiences. However, despite the growing global awareness of climate change, funding remains a major challenge as many investors are still skeptical about the profitability of climate-focused initiatives. Our hope is not only to continue inspiring but to invite more individuals and industrialists to join this sustainability effort, and to prove that environmentally friendly businesses are not only essential for our planet but also economically beneficial. 💚 🌳 Renata Felichiko Nurandhita | Andi N. | Zero Waste Living Lab (a program by Enviu) | Darina Maulana #Alner #SustainabilityBusiness #GreenBusiness #JakartaPost #BetterReuse
