Collection of Mixed Plastics in Jembrana, Indonesia (PWRS) Increase Recycled Feedstock creating jobs and better income

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

this project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

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

it’s efforts would be limited to areas near the facility

replacing fossil fuel

Collection of Mixed Plastics in Jembrana, Indonesia (PWRS) Increase Recycled Feedstock creating jobs and better incomeIn 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
