Help Us to End The Plastic Pollution in Lombok

A Cleaner Environment

We employ a team of women from South Lombok to regularly comb the local beaches for litter and recycle all collected waste into various items, such as bowls and plates, rope and eco-bricks. Together, we are helping keep the island clean and leave a better planet for future generations.

Fewer Plastics

We are committed to raising awareness of responsible waste management through various educational initiatives in local communities, schools, and workplaces. We teach about the lifespan of plastic, how to dispose of it ethically, and possible ways to repurpose it into something with value.

our mission

Our objective is to provide the local community around South Lombok a fit-for-purpose waste recycling centre and knowledge hub facility in order to accommodate a community waste management system. In late 2019, we opened the centre in Montong Ajan Village and, as well as gradually increasing operations within, we are also now focusing on improving local attitudes towards environmental management, in turn enabling the community to pass on their newfound wisdom to future generations.
