We are spearheading a transformational approach to waste management on the island, which includes promoting sustainable practices among locals, tourists, and foreign residents, as well as establishing a full-circle plastic recycling facility.\n\n### Our Achievements\n\nIn the past year, ReFi Phangan organized multiple cleanups, including monthly Earth Day events, Songkran and Labor Day, joint cleanups with the Clean Phangan community and a few unnamed individual cleanups. We held 6 Regen Full Moon events and several onboarding sessions, introducing over 100 residents to regenerative finance and sustainable practices. Additionally, we successfully onboarded the Clean Phangan community to web3 through the Impact Product - NFT collection by EcoSynthesisX, creating a new revenue stream for ongoing environmental efforts.\n\nRead about our past impact on [KarmaGap](https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/refi-phangan-empowering-regenerative-future/impact).\n\n### Our Goals\n\n**To Boost Community Onboarding and Education**\n\nReFi Phangan is a pioneer of regenerative finance on Koh Phangan, focusing on community building through onboarding events to introduce more local communities, NGOs, and individuals to web3 technologies and ReFi. Additionally, we aim to organize sustainability-focused events and mini-workshops in collaboration with existing activists on the island.\n\n**To Expand Cleanups and Environmental Initiatives**\n\nReFi Phangan aims to increase the frequency and scale of cleanup activities on Koh Phangan by partnering with [Decentralized Cleanup Network](https://x.com/decentracleanup) and activating island community for DeCleanup Rewards program. This extra incentive and encouragement to participate in monthly cleanup will be a big step towards raising collective\u00a0\nawareness about proper waste management among the residents. Eventually it will set up the scene for the next goal.\n\n**To Establish the Re:Plast Full Circle Recycling Facility**\n\nOur epic goal is to benefit the environment of the entire island by organizing and providing the necessary support for the local government or village community to start running a dedicated recycling center for converting plastic waste into sustainable products based on the [Precious Plastic program](https://www.preciousplastic.com). This will build local recycling infrastructure, engage the community in recycling practices, and produce eco-friendly products that will become an additional source of income for the local economy.
