Our focus is on developing waste management models in remote and rural regions.
Since 2010 we are experienced in waste roadmap development and engaging communities in a collective approach on advancing solutions on waste & litter.
Collection of recyclables in remote and rural regions pose specific challenges, regarding low waste management infrastructure and long distances to the recycling factories, which are mainly located on Java.
We are creative, flexible and customise our program to local circumstances, state of waste management, culture and type of community (subsistence fishing and farming communities, tourism hotspots). Each community has its specific characteristics.
We collaborate with community, central government, local government, local non-governmental actors and the Indonesian recycling sector.
We collaborate with companies and brand-owners based on the 2019 decree by the Ministry of Environment & Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
Our community-led development approach advocates community engagement in decision-making and management, with a goal of using communities’ local knowledge and resources to run this effective program which is based on inclusivity and equity of communities. This approach amplifies the voice of communities.
