Welcome to the Ocean Steward Educational Program! You are now part of the educators who will be an instrument to influence the next generation to stop ocean plastic in Indonesia and around the world.
The Ocean Stewards Educational Program is a pilot project for schools in Indonesia by Plastic Bank in partnership with Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW).
The purpose of this project is to:
- Educate the future generations and develop plastic recycling habits starting at home in order to protect the environment and our ocean.
- Provide access to recycling infrastructure in schools for students, families, teachers and surrounding communities so they can contribute to increasing plastic recycling rate and stopping ocean plastic by donating their recyclable plastic waste.
