Celebrating the 6th Anniversary of Eco Enzyme Nusantara: A Landmark Event from the Heart of Bengkala Landfill in Buleleng, Bali

On October 20, 2025, the Eco Enzyme Nusantara Buleleng Community marked its 6th anniversary with an inspiring on-site celebration in Buleleng Regional, Bali. This year’s theme was both symbolic and powerful—the event took place right at the Bengkala Landfill, transforming a space once associated with waste and odor into a hub of hope and renewal.

The celebration was a remarkable collaboration between the Buleleng Regional Government and several key agencies, including the Communications and Information Agency (Buleleng CSIRT), Tourism Office, Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), Environment Agency (DLH), Education Office, Disperkimta (Public Works and Housing Agency), Buleleng Traditional Village, Indonesian Red Cross (PMI), and Ganesha University of Education.

Together, they initiated an Eco Enzyme Spraying Program at the Bengkala Landfill—a tangible step toward restoring environmental balance through community-driven action.

The Bioenzyme Entrepreneurs Association (BEA) was honored to be invited virtually to witness the celebration. It was truly uplifting to see the felicitation ceremony, local participation, and collective commitment toward sustainability. But what moved us most was the venue itself—a landfill transformed into a stage of environmental change.

What many consider unimaginable—hosting an event in a landfill—became a powerful symbol of transformation. Thanks to the consistent use of eco enzymes, the once foul-smelling and hazardous area is now breathable, green, and full of renewed energy.

In contrast, in India, landfills are “No Entry Zones.” They are fenced off, hidden from public view—a symbol of the mess we’ve created together. Access requires special permission, and we often wonder—what are we hiding? The mismanagement, the neglect, or the collective denial of our responsibility? Instead of concealing the problem, it’s time we face the truth and work toward sustainable, community-driven waste management—just as Bali has courageously demonstrated.

This event gives us immense hope and assurance that bioenzymes truly hold the potential to heal and rejuvenate our environment. What happened in Bengkala is not just a celebration—it’s a vision of what’s possible when nature-based solutions meet community willpower.

Here’s to six years of Eco Enzyme Nusantara’s remarkable journey, and to a shared future where waste becomes wellness, and every landfill tells a story of revival.
