Hi it’s Julie! It’s a wonderful Monday and we have another video for #IZWCC2021 this time from @ecotonID Sharing the Burden: Collaboration Towards Gresik Zero Waste Cities. Link to video: #Go4ZeroWaste #breakfreefromplastic [1/9]
Like many cities in Indonesia, Gresik City has only enough resources to provide adequate management services to less than 50% of the population. #IZWCC2021 [2/9]
Gresik is a coastal city in East Java, Indonesia, located downstream between Brantas River and Bengawan Solo River. Many end up relying on informal waste collection and indiscriminate dumping to rid of household waste. #IZWCC2021 [3/9] 
To make the waste situation worse, the congested Ngipik landfill was projected to reach full capacity this year 2021. #IZWCC2021 [4/9]
To address this serious concern, ECOTON piloted the Zero Waste Cities program in Wringinanom Village which aims to divert resources from Ngipik landfill and Brantas and Bengawan Solo Rivers and nearby coasts. #IZWCC2021 [5/9]
The shared responsibility of the community in Zero Waste is to handle waste from household to the Materials Recovery Facility in their locality. #IZWCC2021 [6/9]
The municipal government then will only need to transport residual waste to extend the landfill service lifetime and continue to monitor and educate about waste leakage in the important bodies of water of Gresik. #IZWCC2021 [7/9]
Gresik found Zero Waste as the solution to their waste problem. And they will need the participation of everyone down to the household level. And we’re sure they’ll get there as ZW can only mean savings, empowerment, and health to cities! #IZWCC2021 [8/9]
Thank you so much for joining us today with @ecotonID for #IZWCC2021. Next up, @ypbbbdg and @PPLH_Bali on Wednesday and Friday. Stay tuned! #Go4ZeroWaste #breakfreefromplastic
