Boediman Widjaja's Technology Ready to be Adopted in Jababeka Industrial Estate (KIJA)

INDUSTRY.co.id - Jakarta, In an exclusive seminar entitled "A Great Step: Boediman Widjaja Story - Going from Indonesia, Thriving in Singapore" held at the President Lounge, Menara Batavia, Boediman Widjaja, Founder & CEO of JOE Green Singapore, explained how he successfully developed building panel technology from mining solid waste into an international eco-friendly construction solution.

The event, which was attended by more than 100 in-person participants as well as hundreds of online participants, also featured Dr. Tamilselvan Thangah, R&D Director of JOE Green, who explained the technical process of transforming waste into LiGrA (Lightweight Green Aggregates) - lightweight, environmentally friendly and sustainable aggregates. LiGrA will revolutionize 
the world of concreting and other industries as the main material for pre-cast concreting, ready mix even agriculture etc. If you want to build faster and more economically, pre-cast concrete is the solution. But due to weight and logistics, it is vitql to use lightweight materials. The solution is in LiGrA.

With LiGrA technology, JOE Green succeeded in making super lightweight panels and has been used in various prestigious projects in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. LiGrA replaces conventional stone and sand materials with green materials that are more efficient, stronger, sustainable, more economical and faster.

"In Boediman Widjaja's hands, waste is transformed into high-value green materials. His work is present in thousands of prestigious Southeast Asian projects and recognized internationally," said Dr. Tamilselvan.

*Jababeka Encourages Panel Technology Adoption for Affordable Housing in Indonesia*

S.D. Darmono, Founder & CEO of PT Jababeka Tbk, enthusiastically welcomed this partnership opportunity. He invited contractors, architects, and sub-developers to utilize the ready-to-build land in Jababeka's four industrial estates - in Cikarang, Kendal, Tanjung Lesung, and Morotai - as a base for the construction of environmentally friendly low-cost housing using panel technology from JOE Green.

"We want to encourage the adoption of this technology to emulate the successful development of public housing (HDB) in Singapore. We are ready to provide the land - complete with infrastructure and permits - so that developers can immediately build," Darmono said.

*Encouraging Circular Economy and Green Innovation in the Construction Sector*

This technology is a concrete example of the application of circular economy and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) in the property sector, with great added value, including significantly reducing industrial waste. It also lowers construction costs and time and produces strong, tropical weather-resistant and environmentally friendly buildings.

This step is part of the transformation of the Indonesian construction industry towards sustainability. Jababeka opens collaboration opportunities for developer partners who want to adopt this technology in various housing projects and industrial estates it manages.
