ECO-CREATIVE 2024

The ECO-CREATIVE initiative aims to foster active participation from Binusians in addressing and responding to critical issues currently faced by both Indonesian and global communities. These crucial challenges are related to the deteriorating environmental conditions, which worsen day by day without adequate intervention. This situation calls for a collective responsibility, emphasizing that the burden of resolution does not rest solely on the end-users. Producers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and government entities must unite to take concrete steps toward deciphering these problems and devising solutions.

The specific objective of this project is to provide a platform for researchers, observers, experts, and other stakeholders to raise awareness and promote concepts of eco-friendliness and zero waste, particularly throughout the holistic process of business operations from upstream to downstream. This initiative will engage various stakeholders, thereby enhancing the branding and trust of the community towards Binus University. Furthermore, it aims to expand and shape a network of researchers capable of augmenting citations.
