This week’s Real Estate Club Coffee Morning brought together Bali’s forward-thinking developers, architects, and impact entrepreneurs to explore solutions that address two of the island’s most pressing issues: organic waste and unsustainable construction practices.

Hosted at OXO The Factory, the HQ of leading design & development group OXO Real Estate, the event spotlighted two solution-oriented innovators:

Guest Speakers:

Tobias Wilson – Founder, Shiva Industries 🌱

Holistic on-site composting made easy

Tobias presented Shiva’s modular, tech-enabled digesters, which convert organic waste into nutrient-rich compost in just 24 hours—reducing methane emissions and landfill use. With backing from Marriott Group and verified by Udayana University, their units offer clean, measurable solutions to the waste crisis in Bali and beyond. Now available for smaller property sizes. Contact Tobias here.

Tobi Klanner – Founder, Altarize Materials 🧱

Affordable access to sustainable luxury finishes

Tobi introduced Altarize, a Bali-based social enterprise offering lime- and clay-based finishing materials that are VOC-free, recyclable, and locally sourced. By replacing harmful cement and sand with upcycled waste materials like glass, charcoal, and coffee grounds, Altarize makes regenerative architecture both beautiful and accessible. Find solutions from the start of your build by choosing the right concrete to avoid mold. Contact Tobi here.

Why It Matters:

In a region overwhelmed by overdevelopment and short-term thinking, this event reaffirmed a growing desire among stakeholders to build smarter—not just for profit, but for people and the planet. Solutions like Shiva and Altarize aren’t just for luxury villas—they're scalable, affordable, and can support a shift toward regenerative real estate and more inclusive, conscious development models in Southeast Asia.
