RE:HARVEST Launches Biodegradable Golf Tee for Environmental Sustainability
- Ist
VIVA – Indonesia faces significant challenges in managing waste. Much of the waste is not effectively processed, resulting in growing piles of trash. If it is left unmanaged, these waste accumulations will eventually harm the environment in the future.
The golf sector also contributes to the waste issue too due to the use of golf tees, which are generally made of wood and plastic. Each year, over 35 million single-use golf tees are used across 150 golf courses in Indonesia, often discarded after use. Consequently, many golf tees end up as non-biodegradable waste, adding to environmental concerns.
Seeing the problem of golf tee waste, RE:HARVEST introduces a new sustainable solution with the launch of the Malt Powder Golf Tee. This innovative golf tee is made from RE:NERGY Powder, an upcycled product developed by RE:HARVEST using a wide variety of food by-products such as wheat bran, barley, cacao shell, and more.
Malt Powder Golf Tee is more eco-friendly from traditional golf tees because it is biodegradable, designed to decompose naturally in the soil after use. This technology is expected to help reduce the environmental impact of plastic and wood waste commonly found on golf courses.
Using groundbreaking innovations like the Malt Powder Golf Tee, RE:HARVEST encourages Indonesians, particularly golf enthusiasts, to actively participate in environmental conservation while enjoying their hobbies and daily activities.
RE:HARVEST also plans to introduce more upcycled products in Indonesia following the launch of the Malt Powder Golf Tee. These will include various snacks and other bakery products that are high in fiber, protein-rich, and low in sugar. With this product lineup, RE:HARVEST aims to support a healthier lifestyle for Indonesians based on the principles of sustainability and environmental friendliness.
