Indonesia ranks as the 2nd largest plastic polluter to the oceans after China.

On the island of Bali, it is predicted that only 4% of plastics are recycled.

A lot of this is due to the lack of waste management and recycling infrastructure. Although Indonesia has pledged to reduce 70% of plastic pollution it emits into the ocean by 2025, we are continuing to see an increase in illegal landfills that are piling up alongside rivers.

STOP ILLEGAL
DUMPING

A lot of these illegal dumps are often located in more remote Bali, where there are no local waste management solutions. With heavy budget cuts on waste management due to COVID, plans to build local waste centers continually get pushed back.

We are working on a long term strategy to improve waste management starting in Bali.
