Plastic gets to the oceans through over 1,000 rivers
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Non Profit
Founded in 2020 by Gary, Kelly and Sam Bencheghib in Bali, Indonesia, Sungai Watch is now a team of 100+ passionate river warriors, working every day to create solutions to stop the flow of plastic pollution from going into the ocean.
By designing simple trash barriers and operating a collection, sorting and up-cycling system, we have created a scalable approach to tackling plastic pollution. We are on a mission to install 1,000 barriers throughout Indonesia’s most polluted rivers and expand Sungai Watch internationally.
