CSWM UI collaborated with Chandra Asri Group through the Indonesia Asri campaign and BEM UI to promote the implementation of a Circular Campus through the Jejak Asri On The Move initiative. This collaboration aims to advance circular economy practices through sustainable waste management, cross-sector collaboration, and active engagement of the university community.

Prof. Chalid emphasized the importance of building a collaborative system based on the pentahelix model, known as ABCGM: academia, business, community, government, and media. He highlighted that a circular economy can only work if waste collection systems are strengthened through cross-sector synergy, allowing plastic waste to shift from being a problem into a valuable resource.

Represented by CSWM UI Principal Prof. Mochamad Chalid, CSWM UI reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening cross-sector collaboration among academia, government, industry, and communities to advance sustainable waste management and the circular economy in Indonesia. This participation also served as an opportunity to foster strategic partnerships ahead of The 3rd ASEAN Recycling Summit and 16th Indo Waste & Recycling Expo & Forum, scheduled for August 11–13, 2026.

Nusantara TV and the Center for Sustainability and Waste Management (CSWM) Universitas Indonesia officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on February 12, 2026, during the NATURE 2026 Forum for long term collaboration.
