The Imaji Lingkungan Program is included in the Agricultural Labor Practice (ALP) Village community assistance program initiated by Imaji Sociopreneur and PT. Universal Tempu Rejo since June 2021 in six villages in Jember Regency, East Java, namely Bagon, Kesilir, Andongsari, Balung Lor, Sabrang, and Dukuh Dempok villages.

The Imaji Lingkungan Program includes activities of sorting, processing, and managing waste through waste banks, green protocol waste labs, and Integrated Waste Management Sites (TPST). Each village has a different waste management program. Andongsari Village and Kesilir Village implemented the waste bank program, Bagon Village and Sabrang Village implemented the green protocol waste lab program, and Balung Lor Village and Dukuh Dempok implemented the TPST program.

In this program, we also collaborate with 23 social groups consisting of environmental activists in each village, namely the manager of the Mawar Putih Waste Bank in Andongsari Village, Sumber Rejeki Waste Bank, Barokah Jaya Waste Lab, and TPST Harapan Baru Dukuh Dempok.

Each program also has a different orientation. The waste bank is oriented towards strengthening social groups in the community that have special attention in the field of waste management. Thus, the existence of a waste bank is not only interpreted as an activity to collect waste from the community, but as an effort to empower the community in the environmental, economic, social and cultural fields.

The green protocol waste lab program is a waste management program that implements a garbage collection system from each customer's house. The waste is then collected to waste collectors to be managed and processed. The waste collected by the community will be used as savings and accumulated at the end of the program.

Meanwhile, the Integrated Waste Management Site (TPST) program implements an integrated waste processing management system at the Final Disposal Site (TPA). Activities carried out in the TPST program include collecting waste from each customer and then taking it to the TPA to be processed and sold to waste processing plants, thereby increasing the economic value of the waste.

To date, there are more than 150 village communities involved in the practice of sorting, processing and managing waste with us. Until 2021, the Imaji Lingkungan program has succeeded in collecting, collecting, and sorting 446.08 kilograms of plastic waste, 641.96 kilograms of paper waste, and 461.25 kilograms of iron waste.

Apart from that, the Imaji Lingkungan program is our endeavor to contribute to the process of sorting and processing waste from upstream, namely the community. We are aware that education about disposing of waste in its proper place is not enough, there needs to be education and concrete steps together so that people get used to sorting and processing household waste.

In addition, we are also trying to slowly change the stigma of 'garbage'. Through the customer concept, waste that was initially considered worthless can actually be an alternative income if it is managed properly. In the end, waste that was initially considered problematic can actually be considered a blessing for the community.
