In commemoration of World Environment Day 2025, Agincourt Resources launched a program titled “Ecobrick Action: From the Heart for the Earth” in Garoga Village, Batang Toru Subdistrict, on 2 July 2025. The program aims to collect and repurpose 10,000 plastic bottles into ecobricks, while also raising community awareness about circular economy-based waste management.
The initiative involves four community waste banks supported by Agincourt Resources—Gocap, Satahi, Naposo Hamubaon, and Rap Hita Paias—which will undergo a six- to eight-month training program in collaboration with Waste4Change and Bank Sampah Yamantab.
Following the launch, on 3 July 2025, Agincourt Resources organized an event titled “Creative Environmental Management Workshop: Becoming Earth’s Ally Through Plastic Recycling” at Sopo Daganak, Batang Toru. The event was attended by representatives from Adiwiyata schools, environmental communities, and waste bank partners. The talk show segment featured two keynote speakers: Mohammad Bijaksana Junerosano, Founder of Waste4Change and Expert Staff to the Minister of Environment and Forestry for Waste Management, and Damai Mendrofa, Director of Bank Sampah Yamantab and Chairperson of the West Coast Guardians Foundation.
Rahmat Lubis, General Manager Operations of Agincourt Resources, stated that the initiative aligns with the global theme Beat Plastic Pollution and the company’s overarching theme Living in Harmony, which emphasizes the balance between operational performance, environmental conservation, and community empowerment. “This initiative also supports the national waste management targets of 50% by 2025 and 100% by 2029,” he said.
As part of the broader activities, Agincourt Resources also planted 500 productive tree seedlings and released 1,000 jurung fish fry into the protected waters of the Garoga River. Garoga Village was chosen as the host location in recognition of its achievement as the First Place Winner of the 2024 Environmentally Friendly Village Competition.
