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 awareness 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.

Despite the island’s natural beauty and ecological importance, the community has struggled to maintain a clean environment and to implement effective recycling solutions. \\n\\nThe lack of a comprehensive waste management strategy, coupled with insufficient community engagement and awareness, has resulted in frequent pollution, littering, and an overwhelming amount of plastic waste. These issues not only degrade the island’s environment but also threaten the health and well-being of its inhabitants and the ecosystem. \\n\\nWithout proper infrastructure and community involvement, these environmental problems will continue to escalate, undermining the island's potential for sustainable development and long-term ecological balance. Koh Phangan urgently needs innovative solutions that combine community-driven initiatives with modern technologies to address these pressing environmental issues effectively.\",\"solution\":\"We are focusing our efforts on providing solutions through our clearly defined goals:\\n\\n1. **Community Onboarding and Education:** By educating locals and NGOs about regenerative finance and sustainable practices, we empower the community to take an active role in environmental preservation.\\n\\n2. **Expanded Cleanups:** Through partnerships like the Decentralized Cleanup Network, we are increasing the scale and frequency of cleanups, incentivizing participation, and promoting responsible waste management.\\n\\n3. **Recycling Facility:** We are working towards establishing a recycling center that converts plastic waste into sustainable products, creating a circular economy and new income streams for the island.\",\"missionSummary\":\"ReFi Phangan's mission is to address Koh Phangan's environmental challenges by empowering the community through education, sustainable practices, and innovative web3 solutions.\",\"locationOfImpact\":\"Thailand, Koh Phangan\",\"imageURL\":\"\",\"links\":[{\"url\":\"\",\"type\":\"discord\"},{\"url\":\"ReFi-Phangan\",\"type\":\"github\"},{\"url\":\"https://www.linkedin.com/company/refi-phangan/\",\"type\":\"linkedin\"},{\"url\":\"ReFiPhangan\",\"type\":\"twitter\"},{\"url\":\"linktr.ee/refiphangan\",\"type\":\"website\"}],\"slug\":\"refi-phangan-empowering-regenerative-future\",\"tags\":[],\"businessModel\":\"\",\"stageIn\":\"seed\",\"raisedMoney\":\"\",\"pathToTake\":\"Want to grow through just grant funding\"}"}}]
