The app is part of Project STOP’s overarching mission to establish comprehensive and economically sustainable waste management systems across Southeast Asia. Since its inception in 2017 by Borealis and Systemiq, Project STOP has connected over 450,000 people to formal waste management services.
Working with governments, local communities, and private sector partners, the initiative aims to reduce plastic leakage, improve public health, and create green jobs. The app exemplifies this mission, offering a scalable solution to stop waste from entering oceans at its source.
