NUSA DUA, INDONESIA, January 21, 2026 – Bali’s beaches are famous for their beauty, but beneath the surface lurks a growing crisis: plastic pollution. Now, Ayodya Resort Bali is taking a stand, partnering with Diversey Indonesia to launch “PlasticShreds,” a program turning discarded plastic into building materials and décor.
Turning Trash into Treasure on Bali’s Shores
the new initiative invites guests to participate in a circular economy, transforming single-use plastics into usable goods.
- Indonesia is the world’s second-largest contributor to ocean plastic waste.
- Bali produces roughly 480,000 tons of single-use plastic waste annually.
- PlasticShreds converts plastic waste into gravel, building blocks, and home décor.
- Ayodya Resort bali has eliminated all single-use plastics from its operations.
Ever wonder where your plastic water bottle ends up after your vacation? In Bali, a significant portion ends up polluting the ocean, threatening coral reefs and the island’s vital tourism industry. But Ayodya Resort Bali, along with Diversey Indonesia, is trying to change that. They’re betting that a little ingenuity-and a lot of guest participation-can turn the tide.
A Collection Point with a Purpose
At the heart of Ayodya Resort Bali’s beachfront, a dedicated collection point now stands, encouraging guests and visitors to responsibly dispose of plastic bottles, containers, and packaging. This isn’t just about reducing waste; it’s about transforming it.
The scale of the problem is immense. According to the World Bank (2023), indonesia generates an estimated 3.2 million tons of ocean plastic waste each year, with single-use plastics being a major culprit. In Bali alone,approximately 480,000 tons of single-use plastic waste are produced annually (UNEP,2021),endangering marine biodiversity and impacting local livelihoods.
Q: What is Ayodya Resort Bali doing to combat plastic pollution?

“At Ayodya Resort Bali, we see ourselves as more than a destination-we are custodians of this island and its natural beauty,” says I Nyoman Sudarma, General Manager of Ayodya Resort Bali. “PlasticShreds is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and our belief that tourism can be a force for good.”
