Specifically, the achievements of the rayon fiber producers operating in Pangkalan Kerinci, Riau Province are based on an assessment of work efficiency and effectiveness, traceability of the sources of raw materials used and the company’s ability to process big data from operational automation.

Inaugurated by President Joko Widodo in early 2020, the rayon fiber products produced by APR not only aim to meet national demand but also foreign countries, which in turn can contribute to the country’s foreign exchange. For those who are not familiar, rayon fiber is known as a sustainable textile raw material, which is biodegradable so it is more environmentally friendly.

With its operational center in Riau, the raw materials for rayon fiber produced by APR are all supplied from certified and traceable industrial plantations (HTI), and their management is guaranteed to be sustainable. This makes APR the first viscose-rayon plant in Indonesia to be recognized internationally for responsible manufacturing.

Basrie added that one form of application of industrial technology 4.0 is the implementation of traceability as a collaborative effort that involves multiple layers throughout the supply chain through APR’s Follow Our Fiber tracking platform launched in April 2019.

One of the company’s plans to achieve this commitment target is to utilize renewable energy. It is planned that APRIL Group will start using solar electric panels with a total capacity of up to 20 MW.

“Charting out a path to sustainability must be done actively, not reactively,” Anderson said in a press conference on Tuesday. He said that APRIL Group was committed to achieving up to 18 targets of four main categories on its list: climate, landscaping, inclusive progress and sustainable goals. “We are aligning ourselves to achieve a zero net emissions target from land use,” Anderson said, adding that the company aimed to reduce its overall carbon emissions intensity by 25 percent.

APRIL Group has set a target to have 90 percent of its mills and 50 percent of its fiber operations energy coming from renewable and clean sources. It also plans to build an on-grid solar panel to produce as much as 20 megawatts of electricity, with construction expected to start next year and the solar panels fully operating by 2025. “Once it is completed, it will be one of the largest solar panel installations constructed by a private company in Indonesia,” Anderson said. He said APRIL Group would double down on its production-protection landscape management by ensuring zero net loss of conservation and protected areas as well as reducing up to 80 percent of solid waste sent to landfill.

The company also recommitted its profits of at least US$1 per ton of plantation fibers it harvested to fund its annual US$10 million conservation and restoration programs. APRIL Group was committed to advancing tropical peatland science through its upcoming Eco-Research Camp in Kampar regency of Riau, which is expected to be a hub for peatland research. The construction is slated to finish by the end of this year, Anderson said.

Sihol Parulian Aritonang, the president director of PT Riau Andalan Pulp Paper (RAPP), a subsidiary of APRIL Group, said that APRIL 2030 was a way to support the Indonesian government’s commitment to reach its climate change mitigation goals as well as economic development. Since Indonesia embraced the SDGs adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, APRIL Group has taken up its sustainability policy framework that includes a commitment to stop deforestation. “As a responsible private sector, we want to participate. We launched [on Tuesday] our next 10-year commitment on how APRIL group positively contributes to climate [issues],” Sihol said.
