Most of what we call “waste” is actually a resource that can be re-used, recycled, or transformed into a new product. Organic waste can be transformed into rich compost for your garden. Plastic, metal, and glass can be recycled into other materials, or even transformed into other objects.

Plastic bags are the most visible form of waste in Bali, all kinds of shapes and sizes, you can find them everywhere! From the most pristine rivers in the mountains, along the beautiful vast rice field terraces, within the inner city river canals and all the way down to the most popular beaches and deep coral reefs. The use of plastic bags have received a lot of attention from many governments in the world who have tried various ways to minimize it, by imposing taxes or even outright banning them. Though many people in Bali are still far from adopting these solutions, ecoBali – one of few NGOs in Bali, is urging everyone to slow this rampant use of plastic bags by promoting the trend of ” Bring Your Own Bag” or BYOB. To encourage individual initiative, ecobali made an easy to carry, fold-able, and reusable shopping bag made of 100%  cotton canvas, a foldable bag that can be carried in any bag you have. This bag can be ordered by phone at 7907314 or email = info@eco-bali.com
