The document describes RefillMyBottle, an initiative to reduce plastic waste from water bottles in Bali. Over 5 million tourists visit Bali each year and use over 6 million single-use plastic water bottles per month. RefillMyBottle addresses this by creating a network of "RefillStations" where people can refill reusable water bottles for free or low cost. The initiative aims to reduce plastic waste and encourage sustainable water consumption among both travelers and locals. It is led by a small team of "Wateriors" and supported by volunteers across Bali.

3. OUR PROBLEM!
Over 5 million travellers visit Bali every year, staying in Bali
for an average of 4 days. Tourists consume, on average, 2
litres of water each day. With each tourist using around 4
half-litre bottles a day, over 6 million disposable plastic bottles
are used and discarded every month in Bali alone. The lack of
waste management systems means that these water bottles
end up in landfills, the ocean, or are burned which creates
toxic fumes. It’s clear that the problem needs to be tackled at
the source by reducing the consumption of plastic water
bottles.

4. OUR SOLUTION
RefillMyBottle provides a simple solution to this complex
problem. We have created a network of RefillStations that are
listed on an online map. Anyone can use these RefillStations
to refill their bottles as an alternative to buying water in
single-use plastic bottles.
We are a community of responsible travellers, conscious
locals and mindful business owners who take action against
plastic waste.
Our goal is to reduce the number of single-use plastic
bottles used unnecessarily, starting in Indonesia.
Our mission is to:
Register local businesses as RefillStations, providing
water for free or minimum fee
Convert traveller behaviour from buying plastic bottles
to refilling their bottles
Raise awareness of solutions to the plastic problem
