Indonesia Indah Foundation

Indonesia Indah Foundation is rated 3 out of 5 in the category environmental services. Read and write reviews about Indonesia Indah Foundation. Indonesia produces 3.2 million metric tonnes of plastic – 10 percent of the world’s total –which ends up in landfills or as litter each year. Due to urban runoff and the illegal dumping of litter, many rivers in Indonesia are choked with plastic waste, which leads to flooding and disease. A Future of the Sea report states that total plastic in the oceans will increase from 50 million metric tonnes in 2015 to 150 million metric tons by 2025. Indonesia Indah Foundation (IIF) aims to change mindsets and behaviours by educating Indonesians to the detrimental effects littering and plastic waste has on the environment, its animals, and our health. We work tirelessly to ensure that Indonesia is no longer the second largest contributor of marine waste in the world and that its citizens become environmentally responsible agents of change. IIF was founded by Angela Jelita Richardson, who previously founded and ran the annual city-wide clean up in the capital, Clean Up Jakarta Day, for six years before deciding to grow the event into a multi-faceted foundation. Through this foundation, our mission is to change behaviours of Indonesians all over the country to refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rot their waste in an attempt to curb the output of waste the country creates. We achieve our goals through three programmes: Education, Awareness, and Outreach.
