Jakarta, 30 April 2025 - Urban Republic, a multi-brand retail store under Erajaya Active Lifestyle, realizes that its responsibility does not end with product sales, but includes product management until the end of its useful life. In order to celebrate its 9th anniversary, Urban Republic (UR) presents the UR Zero Waste initiative to create a sustainable digital ecosystem. Urban Republic through the UR Zero Waste program invites the Active Generation to contribute to reducing electronic waste by collecting used and unused gadgets in the Gadget Box available at Urban Republic outlets. As an initial step, starting April 15, 2025, the public can donate used gadgets that are no longer used at five Urban Republic outlets, namely, UR Kota Kasablanka, UR Pondok Indah Mall, UR Summarecon Mall Serpong, UR Lippo Mall Puri, and UR Senayan City.
“The UR Zero Waste program is an integral part of our long-term commitment to achieving a carbon offset target of 3–5% annually. As part of our sustainability strategy, Erajaya Active Lifestyle believes that business growth must be in line with environmental preservation. Through this initiative, we hope that Urban Republic will not only be known as the main destination for shopping for lifestyle gadgets, but also become a trusted partner for customers in adopting an environmentally friendly and sustainable active lifestyle,” said Djohan Sutanto, CEO Erajaya Active Lifestyle.
