Plastic gets to the oceans through over 1,000 rivers

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.

We are scaling rapidly and currently expanding our operation throughout Bali and in Java, Indonesia; the world's most populated island and home to 90 of the world's 1,000 most polluted rivers. We are also researching an international expansion throughout Asia and beyond.

Thank you for joining us on this journey, and we invite you to learn more about our impacts:
