Press Release
CIRCLO©️ Recycled Plastic from Chandra Asri Group Utilized for
Plastic Asphalt at PT Indo Raya Tenaga
Jakarta, March 12, 2026 – PT Chandra Asri Pacific Tbk (Chandra Asri Group), through its
recycled plastic product CIRCLO©️, is supporting road construction within the operational area
of PT Indo Raya Tenaga. The material is being used as part of a plastic asphalt mixture for
the construction of several hundred meters of road within the premises of the Java 9 & 10
Coal-Fired Power Plant (PLTU Jawa 9 & 10).
The shredded recycled plastic used in the asphalt for road construction at PT Indo Raya
Tenaga is equivalent to diverting up to 3,200 kilograms of plastic waste from landfills. This
initiative reflects Chandra Asri Group’s commitment to advancing circular economy practices
in plastic waste management by returning used plastic into the value chain as a material that
enhances the strength and durability of asphalt.
CIRCLO©️ has been commercially produced and supplied since 2025 as recycled shredded
plastic specifically designed for plastic asphalt mixtures. The material is produced in
collaboration with recycling industry partners and marketed through PT Chandra Trading
Nusantara, a subsidiary of Chandra Asri Group that manages the licensing and commercial
activities of the CIRCLO©️ circular economy product.
Managing Director of the PT Indo Raya Tenaga Project, Steve Adrianto, stated,“As an
energy provider, we recognize the importance of ensuring that every aspect of our operations
considers environmental impact, including in the construction and maintenance of
infrastructure within our operational areas. The use of plastic asphalt represents a concrete
step to integrate sustainability principles into our operations by creating added value from
recycled materials while contributing to more responsible waste management.”
In addition to its environmental benefits, plastic asphalt also offers technical advantages.
Research conducted by the Indonesian Ministry of Public Works in 2017 showed that plastic
asphalt can improve road stability and durability while extending the service life of road
structures compared to conventional asphalt. As a result, this solution not only helps reduce
plastic waste but also contributes to the long-term efficiency of infrastructure maintenance.
Edi Rivai, Director of Legal, External Relations & Circular Economy at Chandra Asri
Group, said, “Chandra Asri Group consistently promotes circular economy practices through
cross-sector collaboration, ranging from community-based waste management groups and
recycling businesses to industrial partners as end users of circular materials. The utilization of
CIRCLO©️ for asphalt mixtures at PT Indo Raya Tenaga demonstrates how circular solutions
can be applied in practical ways to meet industry needs while delivering environmental and
economic value.”
The production and processing of CIRCLO©️ also involve the informal sector and local
communities working alongside recycling industry partners within the plastic waste collection

and processing chain. This collaborative model creates new economic opportunities while
strengthening the ecosystem of a circular economy.
Moving forward, CIRCLO©️ is expected to be adopted more widely by industries and
institutions seeking to integrate sustainability principles into infrastructure development
through plastic asphalt applications. This initiative demonstrates how material innovation can
bridge industrial needs with environmental solutions, ensuring that waste becomes a resource
that creates new value.
