Natural dyes are a cultural and noble heritage of the Indonesian nation. In the past, at first all the production of fabric and handicrafts in Indonesia used natural dyes. Over time, the presence of synthetic dyes that developed in the community eroded the use of natural dyes, although synthetic dyes carry risks related to the health of synthetic dye users and environmental pollution (carcinogenic). In fact, since 1996, several types of synthetic dyes have been banned from use in Europe and beyond because of these considerations.
The market for natural dyes in Indonesia is still very rare compares to synthetic dyes. But for export needs, developed countries have put a lot of restrictions on synthetic dyes
Although until now, Indonesia is still using synthetic dyes massively, the effort to use natural dyes has already started. This can be seen from the 2015-2035 National Industrial Development Master Plan (RIPIN), in which one strategic issue is the use of environmentally friendly dyes for the textile and leather industry. Even in the current government era, the green industry is starting to be encouraged, where the use of natural dyes is one of the issues.
Located in Sleman Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Gamaindigo is a brand that is engaged in the utilization and development of natural dyes in the textile and fashion industry.
Starting from research conducted by Prof. Dr. Ir. Edia Rahayuningsih and the Department of Chemical Engineering, Gadjah Mada University, where she belongs, since 2005, Gamaindigo has started to mass-produce natural dyes since 2012 in the form of Indigofera tinctoria natural dye powder. As for the supply of raw materials, Gamaindigo develops cooperation with farmers producing Indigofera leaves, with a plasma system. For now, Gama Indigo is also focusing on educating plasma farmer partners.

In an effort to do just that, Herman Miller joined the NextWave consortium to address the issue of ocean-bound plastics. Herman Miller and the other partnering organizations are creating the first global network for ocean-bound plastics supply chain and finding new and unique ways to reutilize the material before it becomes lost in the oceans.
The transporting and bunkering of LNG are becoming increasingly important to the energy strategies of archipelagos and coastal communities across the world. The LNG Floating Transfer Terminal (FTT) has been developed to allow for small to mid-scale LNG operations at a significantly lower cost than a traditional jetty-based fixed terminal. The FTT is a flexible, quickly deployable solution that, thanks to a low draft barge and floating hoses, can operate in the widest possible range of locations at a fraction of the cost of fixed infrastructure. Houlder and its partners are already discussing a range of applications in the Americas and Asia. Importantly, it also has a significantly less environmental impact in comparison to a traditional fixed terminal. These communities have a limited appetite for major civil works required for new terminals, quaysides, and jetties due to environmental sensitivities and lack of readily available investment. Recognizing this, marine design consultancy Houlder, power generation experts Wärtsilä, and hose supplier Trelleborg have combined their talents for innovation to develop an alternative solution. Houlder’s LNG Floating Transfer Terminal (FTT) solution is a cost-effective solution for transferring LNG between receiving ships up to 800m off the coast and shore-based facilities. The system can be ordered and installed in a much shorter timeframe than a conventional LNG terminal, without the need for large civil works. The system can also be easily redeployed to other locations. The Self-Propelled FTT Barge is efficiently designed using simple steel or concrete barge.
It provides sufficient deck space to allow safe operations of the LNG equipment. Trelleborg’s Cryoline Floating Hoses are used for the transfer of LNG and the Boil Off Gas (BOG) from the shore to the barge. Bolted together 12m sections in 220m strings provide an efficient and safe LNG offshore transfer option with minimum BOG generation. They combine high flexibility, reliability, and long service life meeting LNG operators’ and contractors’ offloading requirements related to safety, flow rate capacity, and operational availability.
