Since 2018, we have been working with businesses, government and the local community in Muncar to create a comprehensive waste management system to stop ocean plastics leakage. In time for #OurOcean Conference 2019, this short film shows how Project STOP is making an impact and positively affecting the community and the environment.

Indonesia is the second largest contributor to ocean plastics. Today roughly 60% of Indonesia’s waste is collected by municipal management systems, with the rest burnt or dumped into the environment. The country currently consumes more than 6 million tons of plastic every year and is estimated to leak 1 million tons per year into the water.
