Launched as a startup company, Zyklus Indonesia is a waste management startup, digital technology, and community empowerment. Zyklus App was launched by Ir. Gatot Sutanto as the Head of Environmental Office of Surakarta. Gatot Sutanto stated the message from the Mayor of Surakarta, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, that the Government of Surakarta supports and opens an opportunity to collaborate with Zyklus Indonesia. The remark is also marked as Zyklus Indonesia launching and signing of launching certificate by Gatot Sutanto.

The idea to establish Zyklus Indonesia startup comes from its founder’s concern on the increasing waste production and lack of waste management in Indonesia. Five UNS students created Zyklus Indonesia: Ammar Abdurrohman (CEO), Hendrika Ayuliani Muntiyas (CFO), Muhammad Fadhli Putra Mulyana (CTO), Nurul Faiqoh (COO), and Rendra Tri Kusuma (CMO). This main team is also supported by ten other students who contribute to the finance, operational, marketing, and development departments.

In the launching ceremony, CEO Zyklus Indonesia, Ammar, stated that the Zyklus application could be downloaded in Google Play Store. The app was funded by UNS and therefore has a legal name of PT Zyklus Lestari Indonesia per 17 September 2021.

“To achieve a more sustainable Indonesia, Zyklus believes that synergy among many parties could achieve sustainability and well-being. The company also has several taglines #KolaborasiLestari and #PilahPilihSampah,” Ammar stated.

The launching ceremony was concluded with an explanation of the application by the COO and CTO Zyklus, Faiq and Fadhli. Zyklus App has several accessible and easy-to-use features such as ZiPick, ZiDrop, Zinfo, ZiPay, and ZiPajak. These features are for picking wastes (ZiPick), wastes drop off in Zyklus Agents (ZiDrop), actual environmental information and news (Zinfo), Zyklus digital wallet (Zipay), and digital tax payment (ZiPajak). People were invited to collaborate with Zyklus to achieve the grand vision of creating a more sustainable environment in Indonesia. Humas UNS
