Pasar Dongko is a truly unique market with a fresh market concept that is also environmentally friendly. All the products sold come from the home gardens of local mothers in the community. The market promotes eco-friendly practices by campaigning to ensure that no waste enters the river. It is designed as a zero-waste market, producing no waste except organic waste, which can be composted and returned to the soil.

What makes Pasar Dongko especially special is, first, that the sellers are local women from the community. Second, the products offered are either freshly harvested from their gardens over the past month or processed goods made from those harvests. And third, the market is intentionally designed to be environmentally responsible, generating no waste and preventing pollution of the river.
