Indonesia is on the ring of fire which is geographically very vulnerable to natural disasters. One problem that is often encountered is the difficulty of distributing logistics to disaster affected areas that are difficult to reach. For this reason, the idea of ​​packaging food that is durable, ASUH (safe, healthy, whole, and halal), inexpensive, highly nutritious, and easily distributed to disaster areas is needed at this time.

“One alternative food packaging that can preserve and maintain the quality of the product at present is retort pouch packaging, which is military plastic packaging that allows food to be easily distributed to affected areas,” said Dr. Ir. Endy Triyannanto, S.Pt., M.Eng., IPM, ASEAN Eng., Lecturer at the Faculty of Animal Science (FAS) UGM when met at the FAS UGM campus, Friday (6/12). read more

Three students of Faculty of Animal Science (FAS) UGM (Imaniar Rusyadi, Fahmi Arrasyid, and Dian Setya Budi), created a particle board prototype based on chicken feathers waste and disposable plastic bottles.

“This innovative product was made as one of the solutions to environmental problems caused by both wastes, which is difficult to decompose naturally. In addition, the availability of both wastes is abundant. According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (2019), broiler production in Indonesia in 2018 will reach 2,144,013 tons. Production of broiler chicken feathers per tail is 9.6% so it can be projected to volume chicken feathers in a year. The production of plastic waste in Indonesia has also reached a serious stage, which is 64 million tons per year and is the second largest in the world,” Imaniar said when met at the FAS UGM campus Friday (11/29). read more
