Founded by Environmental Scientist Erik Sumarkho, For Purpose Recycling's mission is to fund waste collection, recycling infrastructure and other critical support to coastal communities in Indonesia, that do not have access to basic waste services.
F.P.R's efforts are focused at supporting the growth of community waste banks and uplifting the lives of millions of undocumented waste pickers responsible for recovering the millions of tons of trashed materials.
When you buy a For Purpose Recycling product, you fund the collection of 10kgs of ocean-bound plastic. Locals turn the plastic waste into a sustainable livelihood, using a network of community waste banks.
