Understanding that rivers are the connection point between life on land and the ocean, Sungai Watch aims to protect and restore Indonesia’s rivers by developing and designing simple technologies to eradicate plastic pollution, activate communities on land and give them a sense of pride and ownership over keeping their rivers clean. When the collected waste is processed, they conduct audits to determine the type of plastic and the brands manufacturing it, so that the root causes of the plastic pollution can also be addressed. Since late 2020 Sungai Watch has installed 180 barriers in Bali and Java, and collected over 1.1 million kg of plastic. To support them in their mission to install 1,000 barriers throughout Indonesia and help the fight against plastic pollution go to sungaiwatch.com, or follow them on Instagram and Tiktok.
