Blue Ocean Plastic Recycling (BOP) is proud to collaborate with Ranong Recycle Social Enterprise (RRE) in enhancing local waste management infrastructure in Surat Thani and Koh Samui. As part of these efforts, BOP and RRE work together to expand the network of community waste banks and improve Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) to process plastic waste more efficiently. These initiatives contribute to the broader goals of the Plastic Smart Cities initiative by WWF, a global program that supports scalable waste management solutions in urban and coastal areas. While BOP is not a direct partner of WWF, our work with RRE aligns with the initiative’s mission to reduce plastic leakage into nature through innovation, education, and community engagement. Through this collaboration, we also support educational programs focused on plastic reduction in schools, empowering the next generation with knowledge and tools to drive sustainable change.
Blue Ocean Plastic Recycle is proud to partner with UNDP Indonesia to develop a multi-faceted waste management model tailored to the tourism sector in Koh Samui. This innovative approach addresses the often-overlooked role of tourism in driving waste and environmental challenges. Scalable to similar locations, the project introduces a digital platform enabling tourists and businesses to earn rewards for eco-friendly actions. Additionally, it empowers local youth through capacity-building programs, transforming them into leaders in beach cleaning and sustainability efforts, seamlessly connecting all aspects of the initiative.
Together, we can make a difference in protecting our oceans and creating a sustainable future for generations to come.
