Bali house built entirely from plastic waste highlights upcycling efforts in Indonesia

Environmental activist Gary Bencheghib has built a home on the Indonesian island of Bali made entirely out of used plastic, including 35,000 plastic bags. A high-end beach club on the island has also begun to use decorations made from upcycled plastic. The efforts highlight the island’s drive to reduce waste, as pollution from nearby households, businesses and even neighbouring islands pose a problem for the country.
