Instead of paying a waste collection service, households get paid for their recyclables
in 2020, 70% of the 6.8 million tons of generated plastic waste in Indonesia was mismanaged, including 60% of the total generated waste not being collected at all. Households represented 41% of waste contributors. Private collection companies offer expensive services that most locals cannot afford.
NoLimbah provides a marketplace to connect households to informal with an app as easy as ride-sharing apps and aims at shedding the light on collectors to give them an appreciation for their hard work while providing a simpler and more incentivized solution to households for their waste collection.
The main target of our innovation is households that are tech savvy and ideally eco-conscious, in villages in Indonesia that are not offered proper waste collection systems.
NoLimbah differs from these solutions in two respects: - Bottom-up approach: Our app is very adapted to real-life problems. Most of the current solutions are very disconnected from people's preoccupations and require a huge immediate behavioral change from users, which is a major barrier to entry - Collectors' loyalty: We spend a lot of time building organic relationships with collectors
