Recycling and Upcycling

Gaia

Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. It can prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reducing: energy usage, air pollution (from incineration), and water pollution (from landfilling).

Upcycling is the creative process of transforming by-products, waste materials, and useless, or unwanted products into new attractive materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value.

Bank Sampah

Bank Sampah (Waste Banks) is a waste management program initiated and developed by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK). Bank Sampah is a collective synergy of government, community, Yayasan/ LSM, and manufacturers.

An individual can open their account at the local bank sampah unit and get a savings book. Every time the individual gives the sorted inorganic waste, the weight and value of the trash get recorded in the savings book. You can get permission from your building management for the scheduled pick-ups or drop off your trash at the local waste bank unit. The collected trash will be transported to various factories for the recycling process.

Ecobricks

"We’re a collective of community leaders from around the world united in a vision of planetary transition: a shift from plastic to ever greener harmony with Earth’s cycles.

We share the belief that ‘the problem is always the solution’ and that facing our plastic is fundamental to moving on from plastic and the systems behind it. We make eco-bricks in our homes and share eco-bricking in our communities. To support fellow eco-brickers around the world, we’ve come together as the Global Ecobrick Alliance Earth Enterprise. Our mission is to craft and to hold the philosophical and technical infrastructure for the global and local eco-brick movements. As the movement spreads, as the rusted mind-forged manacles of consumption and capital crack, our eco-bricks are laying the foundation for the beautiful world we all know is possible." - Ecobricks
