Bali is entering a critical transition in how waste is managed.

With the permanent closure of TPA Suwung, the island’s largest landfill, the responsibility of
managing waste—especially organic waste—is shifting closer to where it’s generated: our homes, businesses, and communities.

Data shows that 68.32% of Bali’s waste is organic, largely from food and garden waste
(Institute for Essential Services Reform). When this waste ends up in landfills, it decomposes
without oxygen and produces methane—a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change.

By treating food waste at the source, we can reduce the amount sent to landfills and prevent methane emissions from the start. Through Magi Farm, a Kopernik spin-off, food waste can be processed on-site using Black Soldier Fly larvae—offering a practical, nature-based approach
to waste management.

We are delighted to share that our initiative to support seaweed farmers in Biak, Papua continues to grow.

Recently, our team conducted initial community engagement across five islands—Nusi, Auki, Mios Manggwandi, Pai, and Wundi—to introduce upcoming project activities, with Auki and Wundi joining the Kopernik initiative for the first time.

Despite its rich natural resources, Papua still faces significant challenges in the small-scale fisheries sector. Limited access to sustainable practices, processing technology, and market information remains a barrier to improving productivity and income.

With the support of Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), this initiative focuses on enhancing income and livelihood stability for small-scale fishers by developing a community-based seaweed value chain in Papua Province.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Last week, Kopernik team members from Bali, Japan, Papua, So’e, and Tuban came together in Ubud for our 2026 Annual Gathering—a moment to reflect, reconnect, and celebrate how far we’ve come.

From inspiring updates in the Next CEO program to thoughtful discussions on growing our impact, we were reminded of the creativity and passion that drive our K-Team. We also dove deeper into our ongoing work—from Bengkel Bumi to PANGAN—and explored how AI can support us to work smarter.

A special highlight was visiting Magi Farm (.id), where we learned how food waste can be transformed into valuable resources through BSF (Black Soldier Fly).

And of course, it wasn’t all work—K-cooking competitions and K-Band performances made it a truly joyful celebration.

Here’s to growing, learning, and creating impact together!🧡

Our Solutions Lab and Advisory Services teams recently conducted site visits and data collection to meet key stakeholders, including several electronic repair service providers in Gianyar and Gerokgak, Buleleng, as part of a new initiative we are developing: Bengkel Bumi.

Bengkel Bumi is a community-based circular economy initiative aimed at expanding access to affordable repair services while creating sustainable livelihood opportunities. Through this program, we seek to strengthen green technical skills among youth, informal workers, and women—equipping them with practical knowledge in repair and upcycling.

The initiative will be anchored by a central repair hub in Gianyar, complemented by a satellite repair center in Celukan Bawang. These spaces are designed not only as service points, but also as hands-on learning environments where communities can build skills, exchange knowledge, and contribute to reducing electronic waste.

We will soon begin the renovation and preparation of the Bengkel Bumi hub in Gianyar. Stay tuned for more updates!

As part of the CANBREATHE and HEAL-HAZE projects, our Solutions Lab team is currently conducting a colocation study of 100 low-cost air quality sensors (80 indoor and 20 outdoor) to better understand and monitor indoor air pollution caused by wildfire smoke haze in Southeast Asia and Australia. In a recent in-house experiment, we tested the sensors against PurpleAir, a real-time air quality monitoring device, used as a reference instrument in an indoor setup with incense smoke to simulate elevated particulate levels. This controlled setup allowed the team to observe how the sensors respond to changes in PM2.5 concentrations and compare their performance under similar conditions.

In preparation for deployment to households and schools in Palembang (South Sumatra, Indonesia), the study evaluates key performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, and correlation to ensure reliable data collection once the sensors are deployed in the field.

This work supports the CANBREATHE and HEAL-HAZE projects and is made possible through the generous support of partners including AirGradient and Nafas.

We extend our gratitude to our funders and e-ASIA JRP (Joint Research Program).
