Indonesian women take on plastic waste brick by brick
Indonesia has pledged to reduce plastic waste by some 75 percent over the next four years - a mammoth task in the Southeast Asian nation of nearly 270 million people. This photograph taken on April 7, 2021 shows Rebrick founder Novita Tan sorting packages of plastic waste sent by supporters. Thanks to a viral social media campaign, the pair now receive reams of plastic waste packaging from donors across the country. Workers pour flakes from recycled plastic waste at a brick-making factory in Jakarta. AFP PHOTOSome Indonesian entrepreneurs are molding plastic waste into flower vases, umbrellas or purses.
