ASHTA District 8, part of ASRI, partnered with Setali Indonesia, Andien Aisyah Foundation, and Nara Kreatif to host an Upcycle Workshop promoting sustainability. Held at Sekolah Anak Percaya in Rawa Bebek, North Jakarta, the event engaged 55 eager students in creative recycling.
Since January 2025, ASHTA District 8 has encouraged visitors to donate old clothes, which Setali collects and prepares for upcycling. In the workshop, Setali guides participants in transforming unused clothing into useful bags while teaching practical skills. The activity fosters creativity and highlights the importance of sustainability and responsible waste management.
This process goes beyond creating new items from old ones. It teaches the younger generation that everything we own can be repaired and reused. Each stitch and creative step taken helps protect the planet and reduce the impact of excessive consumption.
Alongside practical skills from Setali, the event featured sessions on sustainability, highlighting how small daily actions, like recycling and reducing single-use items, help protect the planet. In a warm and lively setting, participants gained new skills while learning the importance of preserving nature for future generations.
The event concluded with a special Breaking the Fast, fostering togetherness and gratitude for the achievements made. Supported by partners ACAII, Curry Up, FLIX Cinema, GRAM, Iki Koue, and Paris Baguette—all tenants of ASHTA District 8—it provided a meaningful end to the gathering.
ASRI Corporate Communications & Affairs General Manager, Troy Fridatama said, “We are very proud to collaborate with Setali Indonesia and Andien Aisyah Foundation in providing an opportunity to learn and grow together. This workshop is not only about recycling, but about instilling sustainability values ​​to the community, especially the younger generation. We thank all partners who have supported this event wholeheartedly, so that this series of activities can end with a blessed Iftar together.“
Participants left not only with their handmade bags but also with a greater awareness of how small actions can impact the environment. The workshop showed that creativity and sustainability can go together, adding value while teaching important life lessons.
The event demonstrated how collaboration between ASHTA, Setali Indonesia, Andien Aisyah Foundation, and Nara Kreatif can drive positive change for communities and the planet. Initiatives like this inspire collective efforts towards a greener, more sustainable future.
