Our philosophy and way of working

Our Philosophy
Radical Honesty
Radical Honesty

1. Radical Honesty

VEL can support you on your way towards more sustainable production and waste management, but we will always be realistic and outspoken about what needs to be improved urgently.

We believe that environmental change comes with trustworthy communication and a truthful consideration of the sector we work in.
Transparency

2. Transparency

We believe that the key to a cleaner Indonesia is the mutual understanding of different stakeholders. Governments, plastic industries and communities must acknowledge each other's needs and demands in order to improve the overall waste situation.

Thus, we need data, open knowledge and a transfer of technology between sectors and stakeholders. VEL believes in cooperation rather than competition and is open for all interactions.

3. Harm Reduction

Downcycling and the recovery of energetic value of plastic waste during incineration are low level waste management solutions. They are not a way to a more circular, sustainable or somehow green economy but an emergency exit to prevent greater destruction of the environment.

Diverting material from harmfully entering the ocean or land is called “harm reduction”. VEL supports those low level solutions in high impact areas such as remote islands of Indonesia with a lack of waste management.
