While people in Shanghai are busy with trash sorting, a city in Indonesia has found a different solution to recycling waste. It is the “Plastic to Ride” project.
Surabaya is Indonesia’s second largest city. People there can exchange trash for free bus ticket. A one-hour ticket costs five plastic bottles or ten plastic cups. The project is popular in the city. Nearly 16,000 passengers take part in it each week. A bus can collect up to 250 kilograms of trash every day.
The project encourages people to travel by bus, which helps reduce plastic waste. Sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it?
