Siklus is in the business of delivering refills of daily liquid consumer items to your doorstep. Siklus began operations in Indonesia in 2020. Siklus, a door-to-door delivery service for everyday-use consumer products started by Jane Von Rabenau, was the first of its type in Indonesia. That is a mission-driven company that promotes a circular economy by reducing single-use plastic and allowing people to purchase ordinary home items in a new and unusual way. The goal of the company is to help retail customers reduce the amount of trash they make.
The company's tagline is "Save money while protecting the earth." According to the survey, single-use plastic in Indonesia generates 45% of the waste. Siklus aims to decrease plastic pollution while also reducing product prices for retail consumers. Consumers may order cleaning goods, bath and beauty products, and other bite-sized items through the refill delivery service, which allows them to recycle their own clean bottles. This company is positively influencing product consumption.
Every year, millions of tons of plastic are discarded, destroying our globe. Indonesia stands at second place, wreaking havoc on the ecosystem. Ms. Jane mentioned in her videos an eye-opening fact about the pollution problem. "Only 5–10% of the plastic that goes into our recycling bins is really recycled," she explained. "This is not sustainable, and we, as a community, must adjust our purchasing habits." Everyone in society should understand that we must all play a role in promoting sustainability and be willing to make changes to avoid environmental harm.
Ms. Jane is from Germany and is passionate about environmental protection, and she explained that her company's innovation concept "began with a self-commitment to eliminate waste." This idea came to her mind when she was traveling to the Philippines, India, and Indonesia. And she saw that single-use plastic was being used a lot in Indonesia specifically. Due to this, the life under the sea is becoming severely affected and the river water has become polluted. That's when the thought of filling the water bottle that she used to see in the Philippines came to her mind. She thought "why not go door to door to refill liquid products into the bottles?" so that the plastic bottles can be reused, benefiting the environment.
Ms. Jane von Rabenau's innovative company is inspiring because it reflects her commitment to social and environmental sustainability. Siklus dietary supplements meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12, which aims to achieve responsible consumption and production. It's inspiring how Ms. Jane von Rabenau and her team have persevered in recognizing the need for sustainability.

This business is potentially scalable as it has proven to provide a way to be a responsible consumer that benefits our environment. Ms. Jan von Rabenau's innovative ideas have the potential to spread widely to other states and countries, as we all face similar environmental threats.

In addition to the financial success of the Siklus refill service, customers who patronize the business also see an economic boom, and they save money because they only buy refills when they don't refill often.

The business concept is quite simple: making people aware of the environmental benefits of using a single-use bottle multiple times is a purification service.
