Cleaner atmosphere
PT. ARYA ANUGERAH PRASETIA is investing in the Clean AER Project (AER stands for Atmospheric Emissions Reduction’). The project aims to cut sulfur dioxide emissions from the nickel melting process by 85%.
Waste reduction
At the Sulawesi site in Indonesia, employees were challenged to reduce waste. In 2011, 85% of waste generated at the site, including hazardous waste, was recovered or recycled. Up next for the site? To reuse, recycle and use 100% of generated waste to produce renewable energy in the next five years.
Recovery
In Indonesia, post-mining land reclamation efforts have been recognized by the local government for four consecutive years. A revegetation program involves re-contouring mined land, restoring topsoil, and planting grasses, legumes and canopy trees to create a microclimate suitable for the reintroduction of native plant species.
