Social Impact

Plastics For Change is a social enterprise that collects discarded plastic from the environment and converts it into fair-trade verified recycled materials, connecting waste collectors (wastepickers) with global brands to replace virgin, fossil-fuel based plastic. The organization focuses on creating dignified livelihoods for ultra-poor communities, preventing plastic pollution (including ocean plastic), and providing supply chain transparency and accountability. It partners with brands like The Body Shop and L'Oréal to integrate ethically sourced recycled plastic into products and to run authentic cause-marketing. Plastics For Change also provides expertise on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), plastics waste management, sustainable packaging, and circular fashion, leveraging technology and small-scale infrastructure to improve quality of recycled plastic and shared-value supply chains.
