Multilayer plastic packaging that has no economic value has been one of the factors making this type of waste nearly impossible to collect. Students of Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) addressed this issuewith Netra, a plastic waste solution in the form of a reuse jar that can be used up to 50 times.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This environmental initiative led Ridhwan Fadly Saputra (FST 2022), Farrelindra Nadhif Islami (FTMM 2024), and Muhammad Dafi Aritama (FST 2024) to secure fourth place of a competition on February 16, 2026. They competed against more than 3,600 teams in the international competition <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GreenGeneration: Sustainable Case Competition<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, organized by Nestl\u00e9 Indonesia.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe reuse jar innovation, Netra, comes with two additional components: a refill machine system in collaboration with outlet partners and a QR code on each jar to monitor usage from upstream to downstream,\u201d Saputra said on February 17, 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-62c2dd398053e5602535d815886e6a93\">Monitoring plastic waste quantity<\/h5>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monitoring the increasing quantity of plastic waste each year remained a major challenge. Controlling and monitoring this type of waste proved difficult. The transition toward sustainable packaging required an integrated ecosystem approach, from producers to consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe main challenge is not only material innovation, but also how to build a system architecture that connects producers, consumers, and waste managers. GreenGeneration encourages us to think more strategically in viewing solutions from upstream to downstream,\u201d added Saputra.<\/p>\n\n<p>As the only UNAIR representative team that advanced to the top 20 and competed in the final round, Saputra admitted that the team faced challenges in structuring their framework of thinking and formulating an integrated innovation within a limited timeframe during the competition.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cTo overcome this, we divided tasks and responsibilities based on each member\u2019s expertise across disciplines. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and focus on our respective strengths, we were able to formulate an idea that addressed the problem despite the time constraints,\u201d Saputra said.<\/p>\n\n<p>Through perseverance and dedication, Saputra and the team secured the winning title. Reflecting on the experience, he recommended interdisciplinary collaboration in participating in real case problem competitions. \u201cFor those who want to solve real case problems, especially in the industrial sector, interdisciplinary knowledge and collaboration help generate solutions that are not only innovative, but also practical,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n<p>Author: Dinnaya Mahashofia\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Editor: Yulia Rohmawati\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNAIR NEWS\u00a0\u2013 One of the main challenges in waste management is the large amount of plastic packaging waste.
