Tabacaroma Vape is known as a vape company that utilizes tobacco waste as a form of support for raw material production. Frans Sigid, Tabacaroma's manager, said that since 2019, his company has been doing this with the aim of maximizing the results of domestic tobacco farming.

"So that other processed tobacco product industries (HPTL) do not disrupt the supply to cigarette factories," said Frans.

According to Frans, since Indonesia is one of the largest tobacco producers in Indonesia, capable of producing around 150,000 tons of tobacco per year, the utilization of tobacco waste is a step to develop the HPTL industry and has a positive impact on tobacco farmers.

According to research conducted by the Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB), one liter of liquid nicotine can be produced from 20 kilograms of tobacco leaves, or from 500 - 1,000 kilograms of tobacco stems.

Even so, for Frans, the utilization of tobacco waste is also a challenge in the production of liquid nicotine, including the resulting yield.

"This nicotine extraction technology is quite complex; it's not just about extracting. Our key technology is how we can isolate the small amount of nicotine so that the resulting yield is 0.3 - 0.5 per ton of material," said Frans.

For this reason, Frans also hopes that government support for the creation of HPTL regulations is very much needed so that this program can run well and other HPTL industries can also develop their ecosystems.

Garindra Kartasasmita, Secretary-General of the Indonesian Personal Vaporizer Association (APVI), said that the national HPTL industry's raw material supply needs of 7-9 tons of liquid nicotine per year can actually be met by utilizing tobacco agricultural waste.

Some producers even have quality standards equivalent to imported liquid nicotine, in the utilization of these local raw materials.

"Because we produce in Indonesia and the raw materials here are very abundant, the potential for the development of this national HPTL industry is still very large. Farmers can also get additional income by selling tobacco waste to HPTL business actors," said Garindra.
