Ever wondered what happens to plastic waste where there’s no waste management?
In Indonesia’s remote coastal communities, it often ends up in the ocean. With more than 60 million tonnes of waste generated annually, and 1.29 million tonnes of plastic leaking into our oceans, we’re facing an urgent challenge that hits remote and coastal areas hardest.
At Recovered Indonesia, we’re working where the impact is greatest, starting with Makassar and Ambon, two key cities in Eastern Indonesia where waste infrastructure is still limited, but community potential is high. Instead of seeing low-value plastic as “unrecyclable,” we turn it into opportunity.
Together with our network of local waste collectors, we:
♻️ Recover ocean-bound plastics from underserved coastal regions
🏭 Transform it into valuable materials through our facilities
💚 Empower women and coastal communities through green jobs, fair pay, and inclusive opportunities
This isn’t just recycling. It’s building a circular economy from the coast up, with people at the center.
