The Association of Indonesian Waste Management Companies (APLI) has urged PT Freeport Indonesia to end a monopoly in its scrap iron business in Papua.
Over the past few years, all of the company’s scrap iron has been managed by CV Putra Otomona from the Kamoro tribe, APLI Papua chairman Andreas Anggaibak said in Timika.
This could spark jealousy among those who had been unable to obtain its scrap iron, Andreas said Monday as quoted by kompas.com.
He urged Freeport to allow other companies to get its scrap iron, especially those run by the people of the Amungme and Kamoro tribes, the traditional owners of land where Freeport operates.
According to the head of the Kamaro Tribe Traditional Council (Lemasko), Laurents Paterpauw, the council had not received any money from CV Putra Otomona in relation to its scrap iron sales.
Many parties wanted to obtain scrap iron from PT Freeport because it is a lucrative business, he said.
