The Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) in conjunction with RTI International launched their pilot scale cocopeat demonstration project this month (April) with the purpose of demonstrating low cost and sustainable wastewater treatment technology in Indonesia. According to team leader Dr. Rofiq Iqbal, "cocopeat materials are readily available in our country. In fact, they are highly available, and for our case, the manufacturer gave them to us for free. There are many coco fiber industries located near the shoreline, and in Java Island they are scattered throughout the region. If we can show that the technology is truly low cost and works well, it could be widely applied here in Indonesia to help us control our wastewater discharges".
