Jambangan

Jambangan is a recycling centre which can be found in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. This place provides recycling training, recyclable materials, and also accepts orders on recyclable handcrafts.
The handicraftsmen are usually housewives, who got nothing to do in the day, so they decided to make things out of recyclable waste and turn it into a new products which can turn into money.
