As the implementation of Green Science, Martha Tilaar Innovation Center (MTIC) has created concept to be applicatied in PT Martina Berto, Tbk. This concept devided into 4 phase, included product development from the very first to the end of its process, called  Green Resources, Green Development, Green Process, and Green Product.

 

GREEN PROCESS

The third phase of Green Science concept is green process which prioritize safe, efficient, waste reduction, resources and energy saving production process. Green Process consists of safe operational process, production efficiency, waste management, and environtmental-friendly control.

 

Safe Operation

An operational process will considered safe when every process of it will not harm every worker and provides work protection. To implement this principle, PT Martina Berto, Tbk follows all provisions on ISO14000, including create Work Health and Safety Builder Committee (P2KP), and give good concert to food nutrition in order to keep the employee health. Beside that, every raw ingredient also identified to make sure its safety by devided into two categories, Poisonous and Dangerous Material (B3) and non B3, so the handling process will be adjusted based on chemical material and physical characteristic.   

 

Efficient Production and Waste Reduction

To increase company efficiency and productivity, PT Martina Berto, Tbk tried to eliminate process that have no value and doing sustainable improvement. Validation, evaluation, and research to product process and flows are also regurarly taken in order to get best result.

 

The company also implemented 5R (Ringkas –concise , Rapi –neat, Resik –clean, Rawat –maintain, and Rajin –diligent ) that can reduce profligacy and to create comfort working space for employee so they could manage their productivity and increase safe operation as well.

 

Energy Saving

Natural resources or energy management is very important to do so the energy will be used efficiently. Some of PT Martina Berto, Tbk ways are by utilizing IRAL (Water Waste Management Installation) output for general needs like plants watering, car wash and biopori –a water absorping pit dug into the ground, in accordance with regulation.

 

Environmental Control

Environmental control consists of solid, liquid, and B3 waste management, fire danger handling, transportation management, and lanscaping. Every production process and company activity also will get through impact assessement to environment.  For this, analytic about source od the impact and management efforts towards water quality and water surface downgrade, noise increasing, rain drainage, traffic distruption, sanitation, security and dicipline.
