Based in Bandung, PT Solusi Rahayu Indonesia—or Bank Sampah Bersinar—is a pioneering social enterprise founded in 2014 that embodies circular economy principles through community-based waste management and recycling. From its headquarters in Baleendah, Bandung Regency, the company operates an integrated network of waste banks, recycling hubs, and education centers that convert household and industrial waste into economic opportunities, community livelihoods, and environmental stewardship.

Bank Sampah Bersinar positions sustainability at the core of its operations—implementing waste segregation, recycling education, and innovation-driven waste valorization. They provide formal training on waste separation, composting, and plastic recovery—empowering local communities to generate income from recyclable materials and reducing waste sent to landfill. The company’s model supports biodiversity and clean water initiatives, while providing a safe, inclusive workplace and social empowerment for community members involved in their network.

Bank Sampah Bersinar also collaborates with local governments, schools, and NGOs to scale waste management best practices. They provide educational outreach, training community facilitators, and offer design consultation for small enterprises seeking circular innovations. While their focus is not textiles, their model demonstrates how waste can be transformed at scale—along with promoting resource efficiency and community wellbeing as an integrated sustainability strategy.
