Collection of Mixed Plastics in Jembrana, Indonesia (PWRS) Increase Recycled Feedstock this project partner—whose mission is

this project partner—whose mission is to stop the flow of waste before it reaches the ocean—has been tackling the heavily polluted Lat Phrao Canal using strategically placed river traps

Credits help this project collect more plastic

and sends the plastic to its mechanical recycling partner

creating jobs and better income for workers in the informal waste sector and end-of-life processing for plastic that can’t be recycled to ensure it doesn’t end up back in the ocean

The collected low-value plastics are utilized through a waste-to-energy approach as an alternative fuel source in industrial paper manufacturing

Collection of Mixed Plastics in Jembrana, Indonesia (PWRS) Increase Recycled Feedstock this project partner—whose mission isIn Indonesia, only around 40 percent of waste is formally collected, while an estimated 40 million tons are mismanaged every year. Uncollected waste has become the leading source of plastic leakage into the environment, making Indonesia the third largest contributor to marine plastic pollution globally. Addressing this challenge requires scalable, community based solutions in areas with limited waste infrastructure and high vulnerability to ocean
