The beauty industry is responsible for producing 120 billion packaging units each year. Many of these plastic bottles, tubes, and containers sadly end up in the oceans.

So we feel like we have to step up our game and make sure we contribute to a better environment. That's why we support CleanHub since the beginning of 2023. Two billion people in coastal regions don’t have access to proper waste management. Trash is either openly burned, dumped, or piled onto poorly managed landfills, destined to impact our climate.

Waste management systems prevent trash from ever leaking into nature or being burnt under the open sky. Rainwater, wind and floods carry plastic waste from the land into the oceans. Styledry partnered with CleanHub to collect plastic waste before it can enter the most precious ecosystem on earth.

We choose EcoBali as a partner to enable the safe collection and recovery of ocean-bound plastic waste. The contribution supports clean environments and creates sustainable jobs in the global south. EcoBali collects waste directly from households and businesses to prevent open dumping. We help build these direct waste collections, providing communities with access to waste management for the first time to prevent open dumping. Every financial contribution helps to expand the model across Bali and creates stable and dignified jobs for local communities in coastal regions.

After the waste has been collected, it is sorted into different categories so each material can be disposed of correctly. Recyclable plastic is sold to local recyclers, non-recyclable plastic is processed in the most environmentally sustainable way available. We track all the plastic recovered through the CleanHub app.

The collection and recovery efforts are in motion. So far we’ve recovered 500 kg plastic last year. That’s equivalent to 50,000 plastic bottles. So it’s not only about collecting plastic. It’s also about sorting the non-recyclable plastic from the recyclable plastic. Even the non-recyclable plastics are used as a fuel source.
