The waste sorting process is often hindered by limited space in the storage containers. However, a simple innovation in the form of a manual waste pressing tool has proven to be an effective solution. By pressing to the maximum, cans and plastic bottles are more neatly and efficiently prepared before being sent to the waste bank.
This demonstration tool is used by the Imahkai team as an instrument for socialization to educate the public about waste classification. Through posts on his Instagram, Cahyono Perdana shows that the use of this appropriate technology can facilitate the process of packing and sorting waste. Waste that has been properly sorted and compressed has a higher value for the recycling industry.
Curious about how this innovative waste pressing tool works and its benefits? Let's take a look at the following review.

Waste Pressing Tool Maximizes Storage Space by Up to 80% (credit: instagram/cahyonoperdana)
Cahyono Perdana explained that one of the main reasons why cans should be pressed before disposal is for space efficiency. By using a pressing tool, the size of a whole can can drastically shrink, saving storage space by up to 80%.
Furthermore, Cahyono even showed a comparison, stating that the volume of one whole can is equivalent to five cans that have been pressed. This way, the process of pressing plastic bottles and cans can allow waste bins to hold significantly more waste material.
The Correct Technique for Packaging Plastic Bottles (credit: instagram/cahyonoperdana)
In the process of sorting plastic bottles, the first step is to remove the plastic label following the tear mark provided. This label must be disposed of separately in the plastic category.
Interestingly, the bottle cap should ideally remain on during the pressing process as a natural "vacuum" to prevent the bottle from expanding back to its original shape. Although bottle caps are more expensive, the separation of details can be done later at the waste bank.
Classification and Education through Teaching Aids (credit: instagram/cahyonoperdana)
This press tool is not just a work tool, but also a teaching aid in socializing the importance of disposing of waste according to its classification. Through the movement led by the Imahkai team, the community is taught to be more meticulous in separating each packaging element. This education emphasizes that waste managed correctly will be much easier to transport and process to the next stage.
The Waste Donation Movement to the Waste Bank (credit: instagram/cahyonoperdana)
The collected and pressed waste will later be transported for donation. One of the partners is the Rekah Cipta Bersama Waste Bank in Bener Village. Although this inorganic waste has economic value, donating it to the waste bank is a noble choice to support environmental empowerment and creative economy at the village level.
Why should cans be crushed before being thrown into the trash?
Crushing cans helps save up to 80% space, allowing the collection container to hold more recyclable materials.
Why are plastic bottle caps not removed when the bottle is crushed?
The bottle cap acts as an air barrier (vacuum) so that the flattened bottle does not expand again. The separation of bottle caps will be done when the waste reaches the waste bank.
Where can we donate sorted and crushed waste?
You can donate or give it to the nearest waste bank, such as Bank Sampah Rekah Cipta Bersama, so that the waste can be further processed into valuable items.
Should the plastic label on the bottle be removed?
Yes, the plastic label should be removed and disposed of in a special plastic waste bin because its material type is different from that of the plastic bottle body.
