Rethinking Recycling  

Our Circular Economy starts at source

To create a new, inclusive plastic waste economy

that is sustainable, we have to take recycling to source

and monetise waste in communities. 

If we recycle and repurpose waste plastic, the intrinsic value of single-use plastic would top more than $100 billion globally. McKinsey.org

We have to rethink and redesign the waste plastic circular economy. Investing in communities is key and by taking recycling to source, we're working to advance a sustainable and inclusive waste plastic economy that drives entrepreneurship, wealth creation and community development. 

Together with forward-thinking corporate partners, non-profits and governments, we are working in South Africa, America, Puerto Rico and Morocco to create scalable solutions that capture the value of waste and generate new opportunities for waste collectors in communities. 

 

Our Solution

Reclaim

Deploying networks of Micro Recycling Plants (MRPs) as close to the waste source as possible allows us to effectively sort, clean and process waste plastic on a smaller scale for sale back into the existing supply chain. 

 

Recycle

Our reclaimed plastics have much higher commercial value and provide a more viable stock feed for remanufacture into usable products. All forms of plastic waster is recycled by our manufacturing facilities and production partners into new products. 

Recover

Our goal is to remove as much plastic from the environment as possible and feed it back into the existing supply chain, reducing the need for virgin plastic. Ultimately this will help our waterways, oceans and planet recover. 

Our Growth Impact

3

direct jobs created by each MRP


100

community jobs created by each MRP

2 000 000

kilograms of plastic reclaimed and remanufactured each year

We are beyond thrilled to be able to partner with a company that shares our vision to bringing our designs to life.
