Pizza Hut Indonesia Partners with TUKR to Implement Sustainability Initiative on Food Production Waste Management
Pizza Hut Indonesia collaborates with TUKR as part of its commitment to proper management of food production waste for sustainability, environmental preservation, and public health. From June 2024 to May 2025, through its partnership with TUKR, more than 200 PHD (Pizza Hut Delivery) locations have participated in collecting 31 tons of used cooking oil to be processed into biofuel. Since June 2025, Pizza Hut Indonesia has implemented the 'MENYALA with TUKR' program and encouraged employee participation in collecting used cooking oil. JAKARTA, Indonesia, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 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. Sr. 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 realization 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% of PHD outlets nationwide have participated, and going forward, all our business locations will join in collecting used cooking oil,' he said. This step, Nurdrajat continued, also aligns with the company's commitment to maintaining the quality of food and beverages served to consumers. 'For example, with cooking oil, we implement regular oil change procedures to maintain its clarity and quality. On the other hand, we ensure that the used cooking oil can still be utilized without harming the environment,' he added. Head of Brand & Partnership at TUKR, Adhi Putra Tawakal, said that the collaboration with Pizza Hut in used cooking oil processing aims to make a positive impact on the environment and society. 'We are grateful to be part of this sustainability initiative by Pizza Hut, and we hope more companies and individuals will share the same motivation and movement to make Indonesia and the world better and healthier,' he said. According to TUKR's report from June 6, 2024, to May 31, 2025, 200 PHD locations have participated in the used cooking oil collection program, with a total of more than 31 tons or 31,000 kg collected. Thus, Pizza Hut has helped prevent approximately 102,827 kg of carbon emissions[1], protected the cleanliness of up to 31 billion litres of clean water[2], and protected the health of more than 31,000 community members[3]. Adhi added, 'One of TUKR's missions is to popularize the collection of used cooking oil at the household level. With that mission, at the beginning of 2025, TUKR launched the 'MENYALA (Mengelola Minyak Jelantah/Managing Used Cooking Oil) with TUKR' program, where we engage individuals from companies, communities, or organizations to properly collect used cooking oil from their households. In the 'MENYALA with TUKR' program, each individual is provided with a 1-litre jerry can to safely store their used cooking oil before handing it over to TUKR to be processed into biofuel.' As proof of its commitment to sustainability, Pizza Hut Indonesia has also implemented 'MENYALA with TUKR' at its Restaurant Support Center or headquarters since June 2025, coinciding with World Environment Day on June 5, 2025. No fewer than 275 employees enthusiastically participated. At the initial collection on June 3, 2025, more than 170 liters of used cooking oil were successfully collected by Pizza Hut employees. This achievement reflects the awareness and support of Pizza Hut employees toward the company's environmental sustainability initiatives. The 'MENYALA with TUKR' program will continue at Pizza Hut as part of a long-term initiative. [1] Every 1 kg of biofuel produced from used cooking oil can reduce carbon emissions by up to 3,317 kg. [2] A study in the European Union shows that every 1 litre of oil can pollute up to 1 million litres of water. Oil that is not dissolved in water will create a thin film on the surface of the water that disrupts the circulation of oxygen needed by the water to maintain its purity. By collecting 31,000 kg of used cooking oil and preventing it from being discharged into the water, Pizza Hut and TUKR help maintain the purity of up to 31 billion litres of water. [3] The 2021 BPS SUSENAS survey showed that, on average, Indonesians consume 1 litre of cooking oil per person per month. By collecting 31,000 kg of used cooking oil and preventing its illegal circulation in the community as bulk oil that can be reused, Pizza Hut and TUKR help maintain the health of 31,000 members of the community, or even more.

23 more women come forward after London PHD student convicted of rapes
London — Police in the British capital said Wednesday that 23 more women had come forward to say they may have been sexually assaulted by a London-based Chinese PHD student who was convicted last month of raping 10 others. Zhenhao Zou, 28, was convicted in March of drugging and raping 10 women in the U.K. and China after "one of the most complex investigations" London's Metropolitan Police said it had carried out to date. Investigators say Zou invited women, many of them thought to be fellow Chinese students studying in Britain, to one of two addresses in the U.K. and gave them drinks laced with butanediol, which becomes the depressant GHB when ingested, and then filmed himself sexually assaulting and raping them. GHB is often used by sexual predators to incapacitate their targets, as it can be administered covertly. Investigators were only able to identify two of the 10 women seen in the videos that helped prosecutors convict Zou, police said. Since an appeal was launched for other survivors to come forward — based largely on the sheer volume of evidence found on Zou's devices — 23 more women have contacted the London police, some of them living in the U.K., others in China and elsewhere, the force said Wednesday. Investigators for the London Metropolitan Police, often known simply as The Met, say they have evidence to suggest that Zou attacked more than 50 other women, and their work to identify those survivors continues. "Given how prolific Zou seems to have been, there is every potential he could be one of the most prolific offenders that we've ever seen," said Met Commander Kevin Southworth. "The primary places where we believe offending may have occurred at this time appears to be... here in London, and over in China." Zou studied in Belfast, Northern Ireland, from 2017-2019, before moving to London. None of the women who have contacted police thus far have been from Belfast, but Southworth said investigators were "open-minded about" the possibility of there being survivors there, too. "Given how active and prolific Zou appears to have been with his awful offending, there is every prospect that he could have offended anywhere in the world," he added. The Met has released officer bodycam video of Zou's arrest in South London in January 2024. Zou, who was studying engineering at University College London, was found guilty by unanimous jury ruling on 11 counts of rape in March, after the court heard how he had preyed on women he met online. Zou kept some items belonging to his victims, including articles of jewelry and clothing, according to the police. He is due to be sentenced on June 19. Police issued a fresh appeal on Wednesday for other survivors to come forward, and said they were still compiling evidence to be submitted after Zou's sentencing.
