Hadi Prayitno, an environmental activist, poses next to a handicraft he made from plastic bottles in Borobudur, Magelang, Central Java, Thursday (17/10/2019).

Borobudur temple has long been a magnet for tourists. However, aside from bringing in fortune, tourists also bring plastic waste. Unwilling to see plastic waste pollute the environment in the Borobudur area, Hadi Prayitno, 45, turns it into various handicrafts of economic value.

"I consider this plastic garbage a friend. I turn them into flowers," Hadi said at his home in Susukan, Tegalarum, Borobudur district, Magelang, Central Java, Thursday (17/10/2019).
