A. Project Overview

This visual report, a collaboration with Greenpeace Southeast Asia, visually communicates the findings of a 2021 University of Indonesia laboratory study on disposable water gallons in the Greater Jakarta area.

The research revealed significant microplastic contamination in tested gallons, with levels ranging from 85 to 95 million particles per liter, composed of PET plastic similar to the packaging itself.

While these levels were within WHO safety limits, the report highlights the potential long-term health risks associated with widespread consumption, estimating daily human exposure based on a survey.

Given that 31% of Indonesians rely on bottled water as their primary source, the report emphasizes the urgent need for producers to prioritize packaging quality and explore alternative delivery methods to mitigate health and environmental concerns, as advocated by Greenpeace Indonesia.

B. What I Did?

For this Greenpeace Southeast Asia report on microplastic contamination in disposable water gallons, I translated complex scientific data into an accessible and engaging visual narrative.

Utilizing Adobe InDesign, I established a clear visual hierarchy through meticulous layout design and consistent typographic styles based on Sora and Inter fonts. Information was presented effectively using custom-designed tables and compelling visual elements. My role also involved basic image retouching (cropping, contrast adjustments) to ensure visual clarity and impact, ultimately making critical research findings readily understandable to a wider audience.
