This Wednesday is another #IZWCC2021 day as @PPLH_Bali takes us to Denpasar 🇮🇩 to see how households are making a HUGE impact in diverting waste from landfills and keeping incinerators out! Link to video: #Go4ZeroWaste #breakfreefromplastic [1/7]

“Take the easiest steps that won’t create future disasters.”
- Dr. Ir. Ni Luh Kartini, Udayana University

Zero Waste system in Denpasar is the sustainable solution rather than costly and harmful incineration that would just create new problems. #BurnNot #IZWCC2021 [2/7]

In Denpasar, managing household waste can help ensure organic discards, which comprise 70% of waste, aren't buried in landfills. This will help the government focus on the remaining 30% - inorganic & residual waste - through waste reduction programs & policies. #IZWCC2021 [3/7]

Sorting waste at home also highlight problematic residual waste like plastic packaging. These discards will likely end up in landfills or in worse cases (cities w/o collection system), leak into the environment. #IZWCC2021 [4/7]

Managing kitchen waste at the household level also brings benefits in resource maximization. They can be used as animal feed or nourish soil in our gardens. #IZWCC2021 [5/7]

Through working together, households, communities, organizations and governments, the goal is Zero Waste--reducing plastic plastic waste and not wasting the value of our organic resources #IZWCC2021 [6/7]

Join us again on Friday as we head to Bandung with @ypbbbdg and @dlhk_kotabdg to know more about its #ZeroWasteCities program #IZWCC2021 #Go4ZeroWaste #breakfreefromplastic [7/7]
