With the support of the Dutch Otter Foundation our Masarang Foundation built a small zero waste factory in the heart of Borneo. It makes use of local jungle products to provide energy, locally produced organic fertilizer and environmentally friendly pesticides, drying for agricultural products and improvement of income for local people without destroying the surrounding jungle. The system is based upon the fat from the Tengkawang nuts, better known as Illipe nuts and its valuable end product called Illipe Butter or Borneo Tallow. The factory was built in a remote village in Borneo and makes use of waste wood and Jatropha beans to provide all the sun based energy the village needs. There are a myriad of other solutions built into the system as well. Have fun watching how a local community takes its fate in its own hands while preserving nature. This is exactly what the mission and vision of our Masarang Foundation is about.
