Delivering on Sustainable Development Goals

Based on ethical and sustainable business practices, our innovative Micro Recycling Solutions align with many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

We alleviate poverty by enabling communities to monetise plastic waste. 

We empower women and youth to build sustainable businesses and become successful entrepreneurs. 

Our self-contained water reticulation system filters out micro plastics, preventing plastic from entering the eco system. 

Our model contributes to the growth of economic wellbeing through the scaling of Micro Recycling abilities.

First of its kind Micro Recycling Solutions that enable recycling at the source of the problem and that can be run off-grid using renewable sources. 

Through our solutions, everyone in a community can participate and benefit from the economic opportunities afforded by plastic recycling. 

Our Micro Recycling Solutions contribute to sustainability through localised recycling programmes.

We are enabling a Circular Plastic Economy - taking single use plastic and allowing it to be recycled multiple times so that single use becomes an obsolete term. 

By reducing the waste stream, our solutions are saving the environment and helping the world recover. 

We are preventing post consumer waste from entering our waterways and we are recovering ocean plastics to be recycled back into the supply chain.

We are working with leading global organisations for SDG impact. 

Our EPR Solution

  • Increased collection of all types of plastic

  • Higher overall rates of recycling in both urban and rural communities

  • MRPs can be placed anywhere - at shopping malls, distribution centres, community halls, schools, etc

  • Closing the gap between what is technically recyclable and what is actually recycled

  • Our Track & Trace software gives you a viable and measurable source for the amount of recycled plastic that goes back into the supply chain

  • This fosters collaboration for a systemic solution and speeds up the transition to a circular economy

Our MRPs clean up communities

Our MRPs enable the collection and processing of ALL waste plastics at source. Self contained units housed in 20” end-of-life containers, they work best when they are centrally situated in communities, shopping centres or even schools.

By monetising the collection of plastic, jobs are created for local collectors, pollution in the area is reduced and the waste plastic that would have been washed into our rivers and oceans is processed so that it re-enters the supply chain.
