Every day, Indonesia generates around 175,000 tons of waste, and is believed to be the second largest contributor of ocean plastics, behind China. But it's not all their fault. In this episode Tessa speaks with waste management strategist Joi Danielson about what makes Indonesia's waste problem unique, why waste management systems are so complex, and her experience living and working on the frontline with Project STOP - a program solving plastic leakage and creating change by proving that a circular economy IS possible.
