But one Indonesian social enterprise by the name of Plana, is working hard at turning back the clock on our plastic waste. It has developed innovative solutions to convert plastic and waste from rice husks into sustainable materials, called Plana Wood and Plana Brick - which serve as a durable substitutes for building and furniture.

On this episode of 2024 OCBC Emerging Enterprise, Joshua Christopher Chandra, Co-Founder and Chief of Sustainability & Relation Officer at Plana and Winner of the 2024 Emerging Enterprise Sustainability Award shares how Plana is making positive waves in the construction and architecture industries.
