Plastic pollution is a widespread problem affecting the environment. No single government, institution, or organization can solve this problem alone when the biggest contributor is something that everyone produces and uses every day. As such, we need to maximize and optimize the resources that we already have. Being promoted and developed as one of the main tourist destinations in Indonesia, the growth of tourism activity is predicted to bring about a domino effect in terms of waste generation in Mandalika. With the current condition that shows no presence of a mature and efficient waste management system, amplified by the amount of marine debris brought into the area, plastic pollution might become an intermediate threat for both the economic and environmental sustainability of the Special Economic Zone.

At Gringgo, we do this by leveraging technology through our platform, to help improve the effectiveness and efficiency of community-based waste collecting and processing activities for better environmental conditions. We focus on building and improving the waste management system through digitalization and database generation, as well as empowering the local community through collaboration. Our digital products are acting as catalyst, tailored to meet the needs of the local stakeholders in creating a stronger waste ecosystem to have a greater impact in tackling the plastic pollution problem in Mandalika. We understand that every area has its own specific needs. Thus, our unique selling point lies in the customizability of the platforms. We aim to provide not a “one-size-fits-all” solution, but more of an “extensive-sizes-available” solution.
