All About R•Plastic

RPlastic Bali is an initiative focused on transforming plastic waste into practical, durable products. Their mission emphasizes rethinking consumption habits, viewing plastic as a valuable resource, and promoting sustainability through education and community engagement. They organize educational workshops and school field trips to raise eco-awareness among the younger generation.

​

In Bali, several organizations are addressing plastic pollution through innovative approaches. For instance, Sungai Watch, founded by the Bencheghib siblings, installs floating barriers in rivers to intercept waste before it reaches the ocean. They collect approximately three metric tons of trash daily, which is then sorted and repurposed into items like sandals and furniture.

​

Additionally, local environmental groups frequently organize beach clean-ups and educational programs to raise awareness about plastic pollution and encourage sustainable practices among residents and visitors.

These collective efforts aim to mitigate the environmental impact of plastic waste and foster a culture of sustainability in Bali.
