Abstract

Adoption of new technologies is a process that involves technological learning and penetration of new products into the market. Within the process of new technologies adoption, government usually intervened by providing incentives, in order to support the technology adoption to be succeed. This paper examines the effectiveness of incentives for the sustainability of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technology adoption. The study conducted through single case study on SWRO installation in Mandangin Island, East Java, Indonesia. Results of case study indentify the existence of government incentive in the form of direct subsidies to decrease the price of clean water. Although successful in reducing the price of water, but effectiveness of the subsidy on the sustainability of SWRO is still low, which is operates only 30% in a year. Further analysis shows that these subsidies actually be counter-productive to the sustainability of SWRO installation.

Abstract

Degradation of environmental quality has become a global issue in the last decade. Industrial activity is one of the majorcauses of climate change and global warming. Governments in several countries have developed policies to reduce carbon emissions from industrial activity. The development and the use of innovative green technology products can be an alternative to reduce the impact of global warming due to carbon emissions from the industry. Adoption of green technology in the FMCG industry has become an interesting issue since it deals with the optimization of production costs and reduction of product prices that characterize the FMCG industry. This paper presents an overview of the adoption of green technology in the FMCG industry in Indonesia. A case study was conducted in one of the largest FMCG companies in Indonesia. The application of green technology is presented in the form of a technology roadmap for ten-year period between 2010 and 2020. The results showed that the adoption of green technology is the company's response to government policies and international regulations related to the environmental issues. The whole supply chain units of the company both internal and external, are involved in the adoption of green technology, while the technology itself comes from external source. The adoption of green technology has given some benefits to the company in the form of a decrease of environmental impacts caused by carbon emissions and hazardous waste. Another benefit is the adoption process increases the efficiency of production cost from economizing water and electricity uses. The indirect benefit from the adoption of green technology is the increasing company competitiveness through technological mastery and strong position of product in national FMCG market.
