Now: Impact Partner programme open for 2027 — fund collection by the tonne
CollectionRecyclingImpact partnershipsLombok, Indonesia

Every tonne sold creates change on the ground.

We pay people in Lombok to collect plastic before it reaches the sea, then sort it, recycle it and put it to work. Brands partner with us for traceable impact they can show — in kilos, with photos, with names.

Most of Lombok has no bin collection.

No bins, no collection day, no system. When there is nowhere for waste to go, it goes into the fields, the rivers and the sea. Beach clean-ups treat the symptom.

So we built the missing piece: a paid collector network, a sorting hub in Kuta and certified recycling. It is not glamorous. It works, and it keeps working.

How it works

We don't just do beach clean-ups.

Three steps, every week, logged by the kilo. Your partnership pays for the people and the kit that make them happen.

  1. Collect
    01

    Collect

    320 collectors and household bins across South Lombok. Paid by the kilo, every week.

    • Beach, village and river collection
    • Bin subscriptions for homes and villas
    • Every sack weighed and logged
  2. Sort
    02

    Sort

    Everything comes to the Honest MADE hub in Kuta. Sorted by polymer, baled, given a batch number.

    • Hand-sorted by polymer and colour
    • Batch ID follows every bale
    • Certified recycling partners
  3. Impact
    03

    Impact

    Clean plastic becomes resin for partner brands. The rest becomes school desks. All of it funds wages and village programmes.

    • Recycled resin, GRS chain of custody
    • School furniture from off-grade plastic
    • Quarterly impact report in kg
