The sago plantation and its processing supports the circular economy transition by making efficient use of natural resources (resource efficiency), and by recovering biomass waste (resource circularity) to replace fossil fuel use (resource substitution).

This business case study was prepared within the framework of the Technical Advisory project: Mobilising Business Action for Circular Economy in the ASEAN countries under the EU SWITCH-Asia Policy Support Component for the sole purpose of documenting and analysing business experiences with the circular economy. The case study was produced by Nia Sarinastiti (national expert, Indonesia) and reviewed by Rene Van Berkel and Thomas Thomas (regional experts) on the basis of information provided and validated by PT ANJ Agri Papua (ANJAP), Indonesia.
