Envirocare is pleased to announce its continued partnership with PT Paragon Technology and Innovation, a household name in Indonesia’s cosmetics and personal care industry, behind brands such as Wardah, Make Over, and Emina. This continued collaboration supports Paragon’s wastewater treatment upgrade, designed to maintain a consistent wastewater treatment process, accommodating increased production capacity.

As Paragon expands its manufacturing operations, Envirocare is implementing targeted enhancements to its existing wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) which began implemented in 2022. Rather than replacing the system, the upgrade strengthens  key process units to manage higher wastewater loads generated by cosmetic production, including oils, surfactants, and organic residues.

Paragon’s Commitment to Sustainability

Paragon has established itself as a reliable brand that Indonesian consumers trust for their cosmetic and personal care needs, delivering high-quality makeup, body, and skin care products. Environmental responsibility is embedded in Paragon’s manufacturing processes, in which the company continues to prioritize as the production increases.

Phase III of Paragon wastewater treatment plan is an upgrade to enable handling its increased production demands while maintaining the current operational capacity. Through enhancing the treatment capacity within the established system, Paragon demonstrates that environmental responsibility can evolve alongside business growth. Envirocare is honoured to support this commitment through its solutions in establishing sustainable manufacturing processes.

Envirocare’s Expertise in Wastewater Treatment

With years of experience in treating industrial wastewater, Envirocare has designed systems that continue to perform well for many years post-installation. The ongoing collaboration with Paragon Technology and Innovation serves as evidence.

The original wastewater treatment system was designed specifically for cosmetic and personal care manufacturing, and has been operating reliably for years. The Phase III expansion focuses on increasing the capacity while preserving the core process design, which has demonstrated stable performance.

The Phase III upgrade includes :

• Upgraded pretreatment system – Improving the system’s ability to handle higher suspended solids, oil, and process residues, protecting downstream biological treatment
• More efficient sludge handling – Reducing sludge volume and simplifying handling processes to support and improve day-to-day operations and plant cleanliness
• Stable capacity growth within the existing system – Increasing treatment capacity through targeted upgrades that remain compatible with the current WWTP framework

Why Wastewater Treatment Matters

In the cosmetic and personal care manufacturing industry, wastewater contains oils, surfactants, and organic residues that, if left untreated, can pose a major risk for the environment when they enter local waterways and ecosystems. Therefore, effective treatment is not only a regulatory requirement but critical for the Indonesian ecosystem.

Well-designed wastewater treatment enables manufacturers to continue their activities responsibility, controlling the environmental impact and meeting long-term operational reliability.

Envirocare’s wastewater treatment solutions help address these challenges by:

• Regulatory Compliance & Risk Management – Meeting discharge standards to protect water bodies and ensure operational continuity
• Environmental Stewardship – Reducing the water and pollution footprint through controlled treatment processes
• Scalable & Sustainable Operations – Enabling production growth without increasing environmental burden

Through our ongoing collaboration with Paragon Technology and Innovation, Envirocare is dedicated to integrating sustainability into industrial operations. ensuring that growth, compliance, and environmental responsibility work in harmony.
