On April 16, 2026, a warm and vibrant atmosphere filled XSProjek as they welcomed a special visit from PT VINCI Energies through the Visit Tour program. The day became a meaningful moment of joy and learning, where enthusiasm and curiosity blended into an inspiring experience for everyone involved.

The visit began with an introduction to PT XSProjek where the team from VINCI Energies learned about its background, mission, and commitment to transforming waste into valuable resources. This session provided a deeper understanding of how a social enterprise can create both environmental and social impact through innovative approaches.

Following the introduction, the participants were invited to observe the upcycling production process first hand. The journey started with the washing of plastic waste, ensuring that all materials were properly cleaned before being processed further. This initial step highlighted the importance of careful preparation in maintaining product quality.

The tour continued with the sorting of materials based on type and usability. From there, the process moved into pattern making, where creativity and precision played a crucial role in shaping each product. Finally, the materials were sewn together, transforming discarded waste into functional and aesthetically appealing items with real value.

Through each stage of the process, the team gained a clear perspective on how waste can be turned into impactful creations. This experience not only expanded their knowledge but also inspired a deeper appreciation for sustainability and the power of innovation in addressing environmental challenges.

Beyond the production experience, the visit was also marked by a meaningful act of giving. Through its CSR program, PT VINCI Energies provided school supplies for the children supported by XSProject Faundation. This contribution is hoped to support their educational needs and encourage them to continue pursuing their dreams with greater confidence.
