Matahari and APR Join Forces to Reduce Fashion Waste: Clothing
Recycling Drop Box Now Available in Matahari Outlets
'Daur Ulang Bajumu' program boxes are available at 46 Matahari outlets located across
Greater Jakarta, Medan, Surabaya, and Bandung
Former clothing transformed into viscose material and fabric-based household products
As a commitment to contributing to the reduction of fashion waste in Indonesia, Matahari
('Company'; stock code: 'LPPF') launched the collaborative 'Daur Ulang Bajumu' program with
APR (Asia Pacific Rayon). APR is Indonesia’s producer of viscose rayon with a commitment to using
recycled materials up to 20% in its rayon fiber production by 2030.
As a leading fashion, footwear, beauty, and lifestyle retail company in Indonesia, Matahari is
taking a proactive approach to help consumers recycle their unused clothing through the "Daur
Ulang Bajumu" program where we provide clothing recycling bins at Matahari stores, making it
easy for our customers to participate.
Here's how it works: customers can bring their old clothing to any Matahari store, drop them into
the provided Drop Boxes, and, From September 1, 2023, to November 30, 2023, customers who
deposit their old clothes into the Drop Box will receive a Matahari shopping voucher in the form of
a 25% discount that can be redeemed for regular-priced products at Matahari. Currently, "Daur
Ulang Bajumu" drop boxes are available in 46 Matahari stores across Greater Jakarta, Medan,
Surabaya, Bandung, with more locations to follow.
APR will initially sort through the collected clothing items, recycling materials that meet specific
quality criteria to produce similar quality fibers suitable for clothing production. Meanwhile, other
fabric-based materials will be recycled by APR's designated partners for use in textile products like
cleaning cloths, travel mats, doormats, and various household items.
'Daur Ulang Bajumu' program aligns with APR's sustainability commitment as part of APR2030, in
which they pledge to use 20% recycled textile materials in their rayon fiber products by 2030. The
collaboration between Matahari and APR aligns perfectly with the sustainability commitments of
both companies to supporting sustainable fashion, where Matahari is dedicated to responsibly
utilizing natural resources, while APR is committed to minimizing waste and promoting circularity.
Terry O’Connor, CEO of Matahari, expressed, "We are proud to announce our collaboration with
APR (Asia Pacific Rayon) for the 'Daur Ulang Bajumu' program. As a prominent player in the fashion
and textile industry, this step is crucial in reducing fashion waste in Indonesia and aligns with our
company's sustainability efforts to contribute to a circular and environmentally friendly fashion
industry. We hope that our partnership with APR, a leading producer of viscose rayon, will further
complement Matahari's commitment to sustainability.”

Aligned with Matahari, APR envisions the ongoing collaboration with Matahari as a means to
continually support and bring to fruition a more circular and sustainable textile and fashion
industry. "We regard Matahari as the largest fashion retail company in Indonesia, sharing our
commitment and vision for sustainability. Through this partnership, our aspiration is to collectively
shape a more circular and sustainable fashion industry.” expressed Basrie Kamba, President
Director of APR.
The clothing recycling program with APR was initially piloted in November 2022. In its initial phase,
the program focused on the Denim Trade-In for the Nevada brand, conducted at three Matahari
stores. It received a positive response from the public, especially from consumers in major cities.
Recycling clothing is just one of many sustainable initiatives undertaken by Matahari. Previously,
the company initiated efforts to reduce plastic waste by offering paper bags, cassava bags, or
reusable bags as shopping bag alternatives. Additionally, the company also have introduced
clothing collections made from a blend of recycled plastic bottle waste.
Matahari and APR invite all consumers to participate in this program, helping reduce fashion
waste and contributing to a more sustainable future for our planet.
