Amidst increasing external pressures related to sustainability, such as international regulations, stakeholder expectations, and global consumer demands, the rubber industry is required to develop internal strategies that are not only operationally efficient but also adaptive to the transformation towards environmentally friendly production and supply chain practices. This study aims to analyze the implementation of an inclusive closed-loop supply chain as a strategic approach for companies to integrate production efficiency, waste reduction, and respond to institutional pressures for sustainability. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of an inclusive closed-loop approach that goes beyond the traditional concept of recycling, prioritizing the active participation of all internal actors (production, procurement, sustainability) and strengthening cross-functional relationships within the organization as the basis for the transition to a green supply chain. This research is built on a combined theoretical framework: the Natural Resource-Based View (NRBV) to explain internal capabilities in creating a competitive advantage based on sustainable resources; Institutional Theory to identify the influence of external pressures on organizational behavior; and Stakeholder Theory to explore the dynamics of expectations and the involvement of key actors in the value chain. The method used is a quantitative explanatory approach, with data collection through a survey of managers at rubber processing companies in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to examine the relationships between inclusive closed-loop dimensions, operational efficiency, green supply chains, and companies' strategic adaptation to sustainability pressures. The expected results indicate that inclusive closed-loop supply chains contribute significantly to achieving operational efficiency and waste reduction, while strengthening companies' capabilities in building environmentally friendly supply chains and production processes. These findings are expected to provide theoretical contributions to the development of resource- and institutional-based sustainability strategies, as well as practical implications for companies responding to global challenges through inclusive and sustainable business model transformations.

Abstract : This study examines the discourse of sustainability in Indonesia’s crumb rubber industry through a critical paradigm. Objective : To explore the meaning of sustainability from the perspective of smallholder farmers, analyze the influence of power dynamic within the rubber industry, and identify local forms of resistance against the dominance of corporate sustainability discourse. Methodology : This research employs a qualitative approach using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), participatory observation, and analysis of policy documents and corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports. The analysis covers three CDA dimensions: text, discursive practice, and social practice. Research Results : The study finds that the sustainability discourse in the crumb rubber industry is dominated by a technocratic paradigm emphasizing efficiency and certification, while smallholder farmers interpret sustainability as livelihood continuity, fair pricing, and economic independence. A counter-narrative emerges in the form of “sustainability from below,” emphasizing social justice and local knowledge. The research highlights the importance of structural transformation through an Inclusive Closed-Loop Supply Chain (ICLSC) model that promotes equity and participation. Keywords : critical sustainability, smallholder farmers, crumb rubber industry, critical paradigm, social discourse, CDA

Abstract : This study explores the economic empowerment of smallholder rubber farmers through product innovation using areca palm leaf sheaths as eco-friendly raw materials. Objective : To strengthen the economic resilience of smallholder rubber farmers through community-based innovation, promoting value-added utilization of agricultural waste and integrating local enterprises into sustainable value chains. Methodology : A qualitative descriptive approach combined with participatory action research (PAR) was employed to analyze the process, impact, and community involvement in this empowerment program. Data were collected through observation, interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation of field activities in Musi Banyuasin, South Sumatra. Research Results : The program successfully trained over 30 farmers and established a community production unit capable of producing more than 200 units of eco-tableware. The initiative increased household income by 20–30%, improved livelihood capital, and reduced environmental waste through the conversion of organic residues into biodegradable products. Farmers demonstrated high enthusiasm and independence in production, supported by local cooperatives. The activity also opened potential export opportunities and contributed to circular economy practices, reinforcing sustainable supply chains within the rubber industry. Keywords : economic empowerment, rubber farmers, community innovation, areca leaf sheath, circular economy, sustainability

Objective : This study aims to comprehensively analyze the institutional ecosystem that supports the sustainability and competitiveness of Indonesia's Food Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Methods : Using a descriptive policy analysis approach, the research identifies and maps three core pillars that determine the development of the sector: (1) regulatory compliance and quality standards, (2) government and cooperative support, and (3) strategic partnerships and initial funding. The data were derived from official policy documents, institutional programs, and community-based engagement with Food SME actors. Research results : The study finds that certifications such as Halal, BPOM, P-IRT, NKV, and HACCP are essential to ensure food safety, consumer confidence, and market access. Government bodies and cooperatives enhance SME capacity through training, financial support, and resource sharing, while partnerships with State-Owned Enterprises (PKBL) and private firms (CSR) contribute capital, management guidance, and innovation support.

Objective : This paper presents a policy-oriented comparative analysis of sustainability transitions in Indonesia and Vietnam, focusing on institutional frameworks, governance structures, and policy coherence in the pursuit of sustainable development. Methods : Drawing on primary policy documents, national development plans, and reports from international organizations such as the World Bank, UNDP, and ASEAN, the study adopts a descriptive qualitative methodology to map the interconnections between economic reform, environmental policy, and social inclusion. Research results : The study finds that Indonesia’s decentralized governance fosters participation but suffers from fragmentation, while Vietnam’s centralized model ensures policy coherence yet limits transparency. Their sustainability paths are complementary: Indonesia excels in participatory management, Vietnam in coordinated green industrialization. Integrating both approaches can strengthen ASEAN’s regional sustainability and low-carbon resilience.
