Plastic waste in Indonesia flows through rivers into the ocean every day. But Sungai Design is turning river plastic into sustainable furniture. Founded by the team behind Sungai Watch, this social enterprise transforms hard-to-recycle plastic bags and packaging into durable design pieces like the Ombak Chair—made from 2,000 discarded bags. Learn how river cleanup, circular economy innovation, and sustainable design are reducing ocean plastic pollution while funding environmental impact. Waste doesn’t have to end in the sea—it can become something extraordinary.
