Slamet
said the Pondok Creative Recycling Lumintu located at Jalan KH Hasyim
Ashari, Gang Kewuning, Sudimara, Ciledug Pinang, Tangerang, had been
pioneered since 1998, stems from the idea of collecting waste
plastic-coated aluminum foil, such as snack packs and made decorations for school children.
That idea initially, but after 2000 much demand, we finally made a new innovation by making products from toothpaste. In
this effort, we helped 6 people elderly, scavengers, and 64 employees
consisting of mothers, teenagers, and elderly, said Slamet.
Then
in 2002, Lumintu glance at the world of fashion, ultimately innovate
endlessly to create a bag of woven from discarded packaging, such as
detergents. Slamet said, the goods of
woven crafts from the mat has reached into 11 countries, in among them
Brunei, Singapore, Egypt, Nigeria, Holland, Italy, Vatikam, Canada,
Hawaii, and Australia.

effort because the goal is established to take advantage of garbage. Slamet
has been frequent speaker at schools, and eager to socialize about
their business through socialization to the teacher and doing
extracurricular recycling.
"From
the trash that is all around us, we can produce and educate children
creativity, with garbage as a medium. I've been to 138 schools in
Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, Sulawesi, and from 138 schools there
are only seven schools that teachers have the ability to make the creation of recycling, "said Slamet.
In addition, Lumintu also collect junk and anything can be made. "From
junkyard could dikreasikan anything, it depends on the creativity of
children, and can be sold from Rp 50,000-Rp 300,000, depending on the
creation of his creation," said Slamet.
Lumintu offers two packages, namely the results of product creation and product training services to schools. "
Now
my hope is there hopefully philanthropist who cares about social
entrepreneurs, and for us given the ease now that the waste has been
controlled by mafia-mafia waste. And this
activity I feel is important if it could be used in school
extracurricular and relentless innovation, "says the man born in
