Wastebender is a social and recyle-tech startup creating a smart waste-to-recycle electronic device, Automatic Waste Processor (AWP), that can transform organic waste into compost easily, quickly and efficiently to bring the zero waste and sustainable consumption & production ecosystem into life. This device has gone through a series of research and trials that are adapted to the composting process, composting parameters and compost standardization so it can do composting well and automatically. It has a minimalist design with dimensions of 35cm x 30cm x 40cm so it is very suitable to be placed in the kitchen. The waste capacity is adjusted to the average waste produced by households in Indonesia, which is 1.5 kg (derived from each family produces waste of 2.08 kg/day, of which 60% is organic waste of 1.248 kg/day) so the capacity of AWP answers the requirement to process organic waste at the household level. This device consumes a low power of 300 Watts so that it can be used on households with 1300 Watts or below. This device is also easy to operate because the user only needs to put the waste then press the "compose" button and wait for 3 hours and the waste has turned into ready-to-use compost. Wastebender also provides post-product waste management in collecting the non-used compost and inorganic waste and transform it into recyclable products by empowering our beneficiaries, the waste picker or pemulung and women around Wastebender. The team that makes up the company is a broad one with key experience in the environmental sector and electrical device development to support the ease of human activity. The team now consists of: 1. Mohammad Naufal - @mohammadnaufal (Founder and CEO) combines the four years of experience in climate change and waste issues in KOPHI and YFCC with his electrical engineering background to give him the combination of scientific and automation knowledge to solve the waste problem to bring this project into reality. 2. Bangkit Hadi Utomo - @bangkit (Co-Founder and COO) has a Bachelor Degree in Industrial Electrical Engineering. He has experience as a project engineer in the industrial paper manufacturing sector. Bangkit has been focused on scaling the production and operation process from lab scale to market. 3. Arif Dharmawan - @arifdh (Co-Founder and CTO) has a BASc in Mechatronics Engineering and industrial experience in 3D printer and IoT device. Arif’s experience has been invaluable in getting Wastebender’s production and R&D process optimised. Our goal is to encourage all of the waste contributors to manage their waste independently and realize the zero waste, sustainable consumption & production and also the circular economy in Indonesia. Specifically, Wastebender has four main impacts including: 1. Economic Impact (turning the waste into an economically viable product, creating new job opportunity) 2. Environmental Impact (reducing the organic waste & methane gas emissions, producing organic compost) 3. Social Impact (empowering waste picker and women around Wastebender to process the waste, increasing their income and improving their welfare) 4. Lifestyle Impact (empowering the users to apply the 3R-behaviour and responsible consumption). Collaborating with @campaign and @atamericaxcampaign who are the leading and well-known sharing platform will be a great chance for echoing our solution to Indonesian and global citizens as well. Personally, working with the professional team and also our beneficiaries such as waste picker that have different background and level is being challenge for us and we realized that we need the different approach to engage with all of them and YCSE Academy can provide inspiration & innovative idea as to what kind of leadership skill and professional work that can we do to manage this cross-background. We also believe that joining YCSE Academy is an invaluable opportunity to enrich our experience, understanding and future outlook required to be the impactful social enterprise. This academy will provide us with the resources, professional networks, mentorships, grant access to pursue our goals to reinforce the capacity and capability of Wastebender.
