Fighting for What We Believe In. Together.

Green Scheme is a non-governmental organisation started by a group of students, with a goal of tackling Indonesia’s waste management issues, fighting for a more sustainable Indonesia. 

​

According to a World Bank report in June 2018, Indonesia generates 105,000 tonnes of solid municipal waste every day in urban areas, with only 15% recycled. Majority of these waste producers, which include institutions and businesses alike, tend to dump their waste in a nearby landfill, to be forgotten and never reaching the waste processing plants for its proper processing, resulting in environmental consequences such as pollution and water contamination. 

​

To tackle this prevalent issue, Green Scheme plans to link up with these institutions and businesses and provide the services to collect, sort, and transport recyclable waste, ensuring that it reaches a proper recycling facility, giving it a new lease of life.

​

A lack of public awareness of waste management, as well as the lack of investments, is another major contributor to Indonesia’s prolonged waste problems. As such, Green Scheme also puts high emphasis in raising awareness of the importance of waste management in Indonesia, hoping not only to educate the community across all social classes of its detrimental consequences, but also to encourage investment into this area for the greater good of humanity. 

​

Green Scheme plans to organise public events, such as beach clean ups, to allow the community to experience first-hand the impacts of improper waste management. Workshops and seminars will also be conducted to allow people to see and act on the different ways of being a part of the solution.

​

We envision Indonesia as a community that sufficiently manages their waste to an environmentally friendly standard, and we hope that you can join us and be a part of this journey.
