Project Location: Jawa Timur
Activity Type: Community development activities
Sector: Rural Growth, Economics, Small and medium enterprise development
Project Rationale:
Indonesia has been being the second biggest plastic waster in the World, after China. Those plastic mostly ends up in the ocean. It formed a gigantic plastic soup, which travels around the world, killing marine life. Seafood deliver poisons into our plates. Our children are in danger. We need to stop this global catastrophe as soon as possible.
Wonosidi is a rural village not serviced by waste transportation trucks from the government. The nearest landfill is over than 40 kilometres. The citizens in Wonosidi deal with waste by burning, dumping waste in open spaces or into water bodies. Wonosidi needs zero waste and the circular economy so it does not rely on landfill or pollute the environment. By becoming a circular economy village, Wonosidi will put all waste into the production of resources, transforming it into economically valuable goods and will not require landfill anymore.
The Circular Economy activities in Wonosidi are intended as a pilot project to fully test “The Greenwave Method” Waste Management System, which has been developed during “Tackling Marine Pollution Issues through Recycling” Short Term Award in 2019. The system’s basic principles can be merged with various local wisdom and replicated by communities in rural, suburban and cities across Indonesia.
