Through this partnership, used cooking oil from 276 PHD outlets in Indonesia is collected and managed by TUKR to support global efforts in reducing carbon emissions and environmental pollution
PT Sarimelati Kencana Tbk, the license holder of Pizza Hut in Indonesia and operator of the largest pizza restaurant network in the country, reinforces its commitment to sustainability by announcing a collaboration with TUKR in managing food production waste across PHD (Pizza Hut Delivery) outlets nationwide. TUKR is an Indonesian company in the renewable energy sector, particularly biofuel, and a leading company in Indonesia in collecting used cooking oil as one of the main raw materials for biofuel. Through this partnership, used cooking oil from 276 PHD outlets in Indonesia is collected and managed by TUKR to support global efforts in reducing carbon emissions and environmental pollution.
Manager Corporate Social Responsibility, Nurdrajat Sumadyana, stated that Pizza Hut consistently applies sustainability principles. Within our ‘Pizza Hut Peduli 8P’ program, we apply sustainability principles through eight pillars, including ‘Food Waste and Packaging Box Management’ and ‘Energy Saving and Renewable Energy Transition’. Our collaboration with TUKR aligns with and is a realisation of our deepening commitment to these two pillars. Therefore, even though Pizza Hut’s business activities are not directly related to environmentally impactful operations, the company remains committed to playing a role in environmental protection and conservation,” said Nurdrajat.
Nurdrajat mentioned that since June 2024, Pizza Hut has implemented a used cooking oil collection program through its partnership with TUKR, an Indonesian company operating in the collection of UCO (used cooking oil). “Waste oil from Pizza Hut’s production and business processes is collected by TUKR to supply more environmentally friendly biofuel production, compared to fossil fuels. Over 70 per cent of PHD outlets nationwide have participated, and going forward, all our business locations will join in collecting used cooking oil,” he said.
