What We Built Together
With the support of the Planet Wild community, we were able to upgrade our infrastructure and deploy new technology to stop plastic before it reaches the ocean:
A World Premiere (100% Recycled TrashBoom): We deployed a new TrashBoom system that marks a global first for us: its floaters are made entirely out of 100% recycled river plastic. If you notice the floaters are grey instead of our usual yellow, it is because they are crafted from the very river plastic we previously collected – closing the loop on waste.
Green Energy for Operations: The funding helped us expand our Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and install a photovoltaic solar system on the roof. We can now process more waste and run our operations – most notably charging our collection e-rickshaws – on green energy.
Heavy-Duty Cleanup: To kickstart the project, Planet Wild funded a massive cleanup to remove built-up legacy waste. We brought in an excavator to clear the blockage in a single day, achieving an impressive immediate result.
About Our Partner
Planet Wild is building a global community of people who care about the planet. Every month, they team up with a partner organization around the world to bring back endangered species, support our oceans, or restore forests.
Planet Wild’s work is made possible by the contributions of its community members. All projects are documented through monthly video reports to show the community exactly how they are protecting nature.

Take Action with Plastic Fischer
While Planet Wild helped us build a second system, and the infrastructure upgrades, our daily work in India and Indonesia relies on the ongoing support of individuals and companies.
You can directly fund the removal of river plastic through our subscriptions or by purchasing certificates with the kg amount of your choice.
Your contribution ensures our teams can continue to operate these TrashBooms, manage the waste, and stop plastic from entering the oceans.
