The purpose of the Plastic-Free Village Initiatives is to transform selected villages into plastic-free zones. We achieve this by educating residents on the environmental impact of plastic, providing affordable alternatives, and engaging the community in ongoing efforts to reduce plastic use. This initiative helps protect Bali's natural environment and promotes sustainable living.
You can participate by joining one of our scheduled coastal clean-up events, which are open to volunteers from the local community, schools, and businesses. We also offer incentives, such as vouchers, for those who contribute to our recycling efforts. Keep an eye on our website and social media for upcoming events and how to sign up.
Our Plastic Exchange Programs allow residents to trade plastic waste for useful items or services, such as groceries, school supplies, or transport vouchers. We establish collection centers where plastic waste is collected and exchanged. This program is supported by partnerships with local businesses and government bodies to ensure its sustainability.
We partner with hotels and resorts to implement plastic-free policies and provide guests with reusable kits, reducing plastic waste. We also distribute educational materials at tourist spots and develop certification programs for businesses that meet plastic reduction standards, promoting them as eco-friendly options.
Local businesses can get involved by participating in our Adopt-a-Spot programs, partnering in our Plastic Exchange Programs, or collaborating in sustainable tourism campaigns. We provide resources, support, and recognition for businesses that contribute to our mission of reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainability in Bali.
