In addition to receiving donations from friends in Lombok, Plastik Kembali sources shredded, recycled plastic and partially-recycled plastic tape from larger recycling centers across Indonesia. In partnership with the Selong Belanak Community Association (SBCA) and our local Trash Bank, PK has also co-created a Waste Transfer Station in South Lombok to help create an inter-island supply chain of recycled plastic.
