ASIATODAY.ID, JAKARTA – A new milestone toward a greener Indonesia has emerged through the collaboration between PT Magic Crystal Indo and Cecep Group.
The two companies have officially announced a strategic partnership to develop a Waste-to-Energy Power Plant (PLTSa) in East Kalimantan, marking a pilot project for clean and environmentally friendly energy.
During a media briefing on Monday, October 13, 2025, Adel, Project Manager of PT Magic Crystal Indo, explained that the company’s new vision stems from deep concern over the growing waste accumulation problem across Indonesia.
“We aim to deliver a tangible solution to environmental challenges. Through the latest waste-to-energy technology, we hope to transform waste into valuable resources that benefit local communities,” Adel said.
For nearly a decade, PT Magic Crystal Indo has been known for its exploration of natural resources, including gold, coal, zircon, and silica. Today, the company is undergoing a transformation toward circular economy principles and clean energy technology.
Meanwhile, Mr. Say, a representative of the company’s Chinese technology partner, emphasized that the system to be implemented in this project represents the latest generation of environmentally friendly technology.
“This technology has proven effective in several Asian countries, and we are excited to bring this innovation to Indonesia, starting in East Kalimantan,” he noted.
East Kalimantan was chosen as the project’s initial location due to its robust infrastructure and strong commitment from the local government to support green initiatives. If successful, the project is set to be expanded to other regions across Indonesia.
However, PT Magic Crystal Indo acknowledges that the greatest challenges lie in cross-agency coordination and complex licensing procedures. Despite this, the company remains confident that the project will progress according to plan.
“We aim to complete all administrative processes and feasibility studies within the next six to eight months,” Adel added.
This initiative is expected to serve not only as a solution for waste management but also as a significant contribution to Indonesia’s national energy transition program and the country’s commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2060.
“We believe that this small step can lead to a major change for the environment and the future of Indonesia’s energy landscape,” Adel concluded. (Silvia Andriani)
