Five Plastic Bottles Become One Seed, Tangsel Encourages Residents to Sort Waste from Home

It is hoped that the plants brought home can be used for daily needs and add greenery to the living environment.

"Of course, we are trying to create greenery and food empowerment starting from our own home environment. We hope that the public will also increasingly understand that waste that is managed well can provide benefits to the lives of all of us," said Bani.

The results of the waste collection have not been detailed

The South Tangerang DLH statement states the number of seeds provided and the terms of exchange. However, it has not been explained how many plastic bottles were collected, how many seeds were distributed, and how the bottles were managed after they were received.

Therefore, reducing plastic waste and increasing sorting habits are still program goals, not results that can be measured from the available information.

This program offers a simple way to encourage residents to start two habits at home: separating plastic bottle waste and using space for planting.
