rePurpose Laut Yang Tenang
Overview.
Project Laut Yang Tenang is a a flagship initiative by rePurpose Global aimed at redefining the status quo of plastic pollution in Indonesia. It is a collaboration with one of Indonesia's leading waste management innovators, Waste4Change.
Your project will engage existing networks of informal waste workers, improve door-to-door collection services, and enhance local waste-bank conditions. The project focuses on the recycling of low-value, flexible LDPE and HDPE plastics, which are typically ignored by local waste collectors due to low market value. The project incentivizes the collection and ethical recycling of these plastic types.
