About Plastics For Change
Making it easy for companies to reduce plastic pollution and poverty through responsible fair trade supply chains. Our tech-enabled platform creates transparency and accountability at every step.
We create dignified livelihoods for those in need by transforming discarded plastic into high-quality recycled materials. Every kilogram of plastic we collect puts money in the hands of waste collectors and keeps plastic out of oceans and landfills.
We envision a world where plastic waste is optimized as a resource for reducing poverty through fair market access. We are building the infrastructure for an inclusive circular economy where informal waste collectors are recognized, paid fairly, and supported.
Why it matters
We ensure brand partners achieve their recycling goals while reducing the use of virgin fossil fuel-based plastic, cutting carbon emissions at scale.
1% of the urban population in developing countries relies on recycling as their primary household income. We ensure they are paid fairly, consistently, and with dignity.
More than 3 billion people do not have their waste collected or disposed of safely. We intercept plastic before it reaches waterways and oceans.
We create dignified and predictable livelihoods for waste collectors, aligning with UN SDG 8 to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
