Raymond Kurniawan Tjiadi, Co-Founder of Lumosh Living, recognises this issue and aims to transform broken ceramic and glass waste into sustainable tableware like plates, bowls and mugs. By collecting broken items from the hospitality sector, the enterprise gives new life to waste and reduces reliance on raw materials from mining. Each Lumosh Living product is handcrafted by people from vulnerable groups including women, widows, and family breadwinners, and provides them with jobs, training, and fair wages.
To date, Lumosh Living has worked with 66 women in Probolinggo, East Java, Indonesia, providing them with the skills required to work as ceramists and supporting them with a stable income to help support their families.
As the company expands, it aims to reduce more ceramic and glass waste in landfills, increase its social impact, and inspire other manufacturers or producers to take responsibility for their own waste.
Programme support
Through the I-SEA Programme with Instellar, we will support Lumosh Living’s efforts to transform broken ceramic and glass waste into sustainable tableware and assist them in creating impact reports by providing mentorship, business guidance, and networking opportunities.
We look forward to supporting Lumosh Living’s mission to enable local communities to achieve a cleaner environment and sustainable livelihoods.
