Denpasar, 29 January 2024 – The Bali Hotels Association (BHA) is taking a key step towards environmental sustainability by joining forces with Sungai Watch to combat plastic pollution in Bali. Through a successful fundraising event held in December 2023, BHA was able to raise the much needed fund for the launch of a waste barrier installation project on the Ayung River in Mengwi, Badung. This initiative signifies a significant stride in safeguarding Bali’s environment against the detrimental impact of plastic waste.

Gary Bencheghib , one of the driving forces behind Sungai Watch, emphasized the urgency of transforming Bali’s waste management practices and highlighted the pivotal role played by the hotel industry, particularly the Bali Hotels Association, in shaping a sustainable future for the island. The newly installed rubbish barriers on the Ayung River serve as a strategic measure to combat the proliferation of open rubbish dumps along the river. The river flows into the Yeh Poh river, which has its river mouth in Berawa.

The ceremonial installation of the trash barriers by BHA and Sungai Watch marks a milestone in preserving Bali’s natural beauty and also acting as a powerful symbol to stimulate broader discussions on the critical issue of waste management in Indonesia, addressing the root causes of plastic pollution.
