In a heartfelt commitment to preserving Bali’s breathtaking natural beauty and safeguarding its marine ecosystems, Ayodya Resort Bali, a family-friendly beachfront resort, announces a partnership with Diversey Indonesia, a Solenis company. Together, they are launching PlasticShreds, a sustainability initiative that addresses the urgent plastic pollution crisis while inviting resort guests, staff and the local community to take part in protecting Bali’s environment and supporting eco-friendly tourism in Indonesia.
At the heart of the resort’s pristine beachfront, a dedicated single-use plastic collection point now stands as a beacon of responsibility. Guests and visitors are encouraged to responsibly dispose of plastic bottles, containers and packaging—items that, if left unmanaged, threaten Bali’s coral reefs and vibrant marine life, which are vital to the island’s eco-tourism.
PlasticShreds transforms discarded single-use plastics into durable, eco-friendly materials such as gravel, building blocks and home décor. By giving new life to what was once waste, PlasticShreds demonstrates the circular economy in action—turning pollution into possibility and supporting sustainable waste management in Bali.
The scale of Bali’s plastic pollution remains alarming. Indonesia is the world’s second-largest contributor to ocean plastic waste, generating an estimated 3.2 million tons annually, with a significant portion comprising single-use plastics that end up in waterways and oceans (World Bank, 2023). In Bali alone, approximately 480,000 tons of single-use plastic waste are produced each year (UNEP, 2021), endangering marine biodiversity, threatening tourism and affecting local livelihoods dependent on healthy ecosystems.
Vineet Mahajan, GM, Ayodya Resort Bali shared, “At Ayodya Resort Bali, we see ourselves as more than a destination—we are custodians of this island’s soul. Our partnership with Diversey and the launch of PlasticShreds reflect our deep respect for Bali’s environment and culture. Every bottle collected is a step toward healing our oceans and ensuring a thriving future for Bali’s families, children and every living creature that calls this paradise home. At Ayodya, we believe in sustainable solutions; this is why we have also eliminated all single-use plastics from the resort, including water bottles, in-room amenities etc.”
Echoing this, Deepak Sahni, Marketing & GSA Director, Southeast Asia, Diversey – A Solenis Company said, “Sustainability is a shared journey. Through PlasticShreds, we are proud to work alongside Ayodya Resort Bali to transform how single-use plastics are viewed and managed in tourism hubs. This initiative is more than recycling—it is an act of hope and restoration, turning the tide on pollution and inspiring communities to care deeply for their environment.”
Guests staying at Ayodya Resort Bali can now participate directly in Bali’s fight against plastic pollution—making every moment of their holiday a conscious act of care. This initiative gives travellers the opportunity to give back to the island, ensuring their memories are forever tied to Bali’s preservation and the wellbeing of future generations.
