Strategic Studies

At the Center for Sustainability and Waste Management Universitas Indonesia (CSWM UI), our Strategic Studies program provides a scientific foundation for policymaking, innovation, and national transformation toward sustainability. We conduct cross-sectoral studies that connect materials, environment, energy, and society—turning academic research into actionable strategies that guide decision-makers in the public and private sectors.

Expert Guidance for Sustainable Transformation

Driving sustainability through evidence-based strategies, cross-sector collaboration, and practical, measurable solutions.

Biowaste Valorization

This program explores the potential of biomass waste through initiatives such as Biomass Waste Valorization, transforming organic residues into valuable materials and sustainable products that support local bioeconomy development.

Green Plastics & Recycling

Focusing on advancing circular solutions for plastics, this program includes initiatives like Plastic Waste Valorization, addressing plastic pollution while creating new pathways for recycled materials and green polymer innovation.

Environmental Remedies

This program develops environmental solutions through research such as Polymeric Membranes for Environmental Use and Plastic Pollution Mapping, supporting pollution control, wastewater treatment, and environmental restoration.

Sustainable Medical Devices

By developing innovations like the Sustainable Hemodialysis Membrane, this program promotes safer and greener healthcare technologies that reduce waste and resource consumption in the medical sector.

Waste to Energy

This program supports energy recovery through biomass and plastic modification, transforming waste into alternative energy sources to promote energy security and circular resource utilization.

Circular Economy

Focusing on system-wide resource efficiency, this program promotes circular models such as the Blue Economy to support sustainable production, consumption, and regional development.

Sustainable Energy System

This program explores clean energy technologies through initiatives like Polymeric Membrane for Energy Use, contributing to innovation in energy storage, batteries, and sustainable energy transition.

Sustainable Health Systems

This program focuses on developing integrated health strategies that link environmental quality, nutrition, and social well-being. Through evidence-based studies and policy roadmaps, CSWM UI contributes to addressing national public health challenges—such as stunting reduction and environmental health resilience—aligned with the vision of Indonesia Emas 2045.
