Indonesia is known for its abundant natural resources, including natural zeolite. Zeolite offers significant benefits in industries, agriculture, and environmental processing. As an alumino-silicate mineral, zeolite possesses unique properties, such as adsorption, molecular sieving, and the ability to capture and release gases. In Indonesia, zeolite reserves are scattered across almost every region, making the country one of the world’s leading zeolite producers.
Indonesia has a substantial natural zeolite reserve, totaling 447,490,160 tons across various regions. According to Kusdarto (2008), there are approximately 20 zeolite deposit sites throughout Indonesia. Some of the regions with the largest zeolite reserves include:
West Java: 185,595,160 tons
Lampung: 43.8 million tons
East Nusa Tenggara: 6,115,000 tons
West Sulawesi: 26.4 million tons
South Sulawesi: 169,880 tons
North Sumatra: 16.2 million tons
Indonesia’s zeolite reserves have significant potential for development across various sectors. therefore, We can utilize these large reserves to support domestic industries and export applications, such as water treatment, agriculture, gas filtration, and waste management.
West Java has more than 185 million tons of zeolite reserves, making it one of the largest in Indonesia. Several regions, including Sukabumi, Tasikmalaya, and Ciamis, contain zeolite deposits. In Bojong, Cikembar, Sukabumi, the reserve is around 24,151,000 tons. With these substantial reserves, Indonesia can develop a zeolite-based industrial sector for both domestic and international markets.
Zeo Mining – PT Excellent Zeolit Indonesia plays a key role in developing and utilizing zeolite resources in Indonesia. Located in Bojong, Cikembar, Sukabumi, the company is a leading natural zeolite producer and supplier. By managing substantial reserves in Sukabumi, Zeo Mining meets both domestic and international market demands while supporting sustainable resource management in Indonesia.
