No-Trash Triangle Initiative
The devastating extent of plastic pollution when observing how near-pristine tropical beaches are covered with floating trash by every tide has to be stopped.
It is in the heart of the coral triangle where the NTTI attempts to grasp the scale of plastic pollution and take measures to keep this environment natural and beautiful. As a matter of fact, the Coral Triangle in South-East Asia harbors the highest marine biodiversity on planet Earth. Unfortunately, this region also has a high risk of plastic pollution, and the load of plastic litter in the sea and at the beaches is increasing dramatically.
Therefore a program was developed to increase the motivation for waste separation. As a start, this project is initiated with resorts on Bangka Island in Indonesia.
