Indonesia's First E-Waste Reverse Vending Machine Launched at ITB Bandung

Indonesia's First E-Waste Reverse Vending Machine Launched at ITB Bandung

XLSMART and REWIND just launched Indonesia's very first E-Waste Reverse Vending Machine, called "BYE BYE BOX," at the East Hall of ITB Ganesha in Bandung on Monday (14/9). The program is all about pushing for more responsible electronic waste management through tech, education, and some real action from the younger generation. The campaign runs from September 14–28, 2026, starting with the launch and then followed by the #ByeByeBox activation around the ITB campus grounds. For this first phase, XLSMART and REWIND are aiming to collect 600 kg of e-waste. All the e-waste that gets collected will be logged and measured as part of tracking the overall impact of the program. https://kabarbaik.co/e-waste-reverse-vending-machine-pertama-di-indonesia/

Just found out there's such a thing as a reverse vending machine for e-waste. With this kinda setup, people actually stop and think before tossing old stuff carelessly-especially batteries and old phones, since they’re loaded with heavy metals.

A target of 600 kg is ambitious but pretty realistic for a campus as big as ITB. Hopefully the students are hyped about it, not just walking by and glancing at the equipment.

MashaAllah, this is such a cool initiative. Hopefully it can be expanded to other campuses, not just in Bandung.
