Working on reuse solutions in Indonesia is much the same as in the US – setting standards, organizing campaigns, implementing and iterating policy at the local level. But the region faces additional challenges with the burdens of pollution and plastic waste literally arriving on their shores from countries in the Global North. In this context, the reuse victories Tiza Mafira has helped achieve are especially impressive, having initiated single-use bag bans in over 100 cities across the country. And that’s just the beginning. Tiza sits down with host Matt Prindiville to discuss her work on big, system-changing solutions as an activist, Co-Founder of the Plastic Bag Diet Movement, and Director of the Climate Policy Initiative.
