No more paper waste by using Digital Signatures

Paper seems to exist in every aspect in our lives. From food packaging, books and magazines to office documents, paper products are commonly used every day by people and businesses around the world.

Indonesia’s Ministry of Industry stated that the world’s paper demand is expected to increase to 490 million tons by 2020. Currently, Indonesia is considered as one of the top 10 largest pulp and paper industry producers in the world. During 2020, it was approximately 13 million tons of paper was produced in Indonesia and estimated to increase by 5% in 2021. Paper production is also the third most energy-intensive of all manufacturing industries, as it uses 12% of the total energy in the industrial sector today. The problem with paper use is not limited to its production; when papers rot, they emit more greenhouse gas.

In Indonesia, an individual consumes 27 kilogram of paper per year on average. With 278 million of population (per April 2022), Indonesia’s paper use could reach 7,5 million tons of paper annually and not all these papers are used productively. As the country lacks a proper infrastructure and policy for nation-wide recycling, paper waste accounts for 28% of the total waste piling up in their landfills.

Cost-Effective Genetic Test Kit for Leprosypation in Papua Indonesia

Leprosy is a stigmatizing, chronic infection that degenerates the nervous system and often leads to incapacitation. In 2005, WHO declared leprosy wiped out worldwide, reporting instances of the disease down to less than 1 case for every 10,000 people. Indonesia is among the three most endemic countries of leprosy and in Papua, 5 in 10,000 cases are reported. Indonesia's health authorities have been distributing antibiotics to a remote area in Papua, but antibiotics don't work for everyone, especially Dapsone, a significant number of Papua have the potential risk of deadly adverse drug reactions to the medication

Furthermore, there had been higher reports of Dapsone Hypersensitivity Syndrome (DHS) which also challenges leprosy elimination in certain aspects. Globally, DHS has a prevalence rate of 1.4% and a fatality rate of up to 13%. In 2018, Astrid Irwanto, COO and Co-Founder of Nalagenetics, together with her colleagues in A*Star Genome Institute of Singapore worked to utilize the findings in Papua communities. This finding may help local health authorities to prescribe safer treatment options for Leprosy patients

Multifunctional Wedding Invitation Card

A wedding is a significant life event. The bride and groom, along with their families, exchange "forever" vows. Everyone wants their wedding to be perfect. A wedding requires much planning and equipment. One of the cards is an invitation. The wedding begins with the choosing of invitations for family and friends. On the wedding invitations, the "to-be- couple's" names should appear for the first time, and hence an elegant design is needed. Wedding invitations are the lovely pre-planned symphonies that are given to visitors to inform them about your upcoming wedding.

As we are discussing the most important event of your life, your "wedding," your wedding invitation should be nothing less than regal, elegant, and distinctive. It creates the first impression of the wedding ceremony's style. So, choose appropriately.

Wedding invitations usually use one-time-use paper. One million extra couples will need how many invitations?

We can calculate how many trees a million more couples need. The innovation of Fina Syuriah Rahayu conserved numerous trees. She makes an invitation card out of spun-bond. With her friend Binti Masyrifah, she creates a gift bag that may be used as an invitation card.
