Our Impact
We collect discarded plastic from the environment and convert it into high-quality recycled plastics to replace virgin fossil fuel-based plastic. Every kilogram creates dignified livelihoods for waste collectors and their families.
Our approach
Our model creates lasting change by developing both individual stakeholders and entire communities.
Empowering individual waste collectors with the tools, training, and infrastructure they need to build stable livelihoods.
Investing Fair Trade premiums into programs that strengthen entire communities around our collection network.
Featured programs
Our flagship initiatives directly improve the lives of waste collectors and their families.
Our housing initiative transforms low-value plastic waste into recycled planks used to build homes for migrant waste collector families. Namma Mane provides safe, dignified shelter that improves health outcomes, financial stability, and quality of life for some of the most vulnerable workers in our supply chain.
Electric tricycles distributed to waste collectors in our supply chain reduce physical strain, increase collection capacity, and boost daily earnings. The program replaces manual pushcarts with clean electric vehicles, transforming how collectors work and live.
Community impact
Fair Trade premiums from every order are invested directly into programs that strengthen collector communities.
Healthcare access, nutrition programs, and preventive care for collectors and their families.
School enrollment, tutoring, and scholarship programs for collectors' children.
Vocational training and upskilling to create alternative income opportunities.
Banking access, savings programs, and micro-insurance for previously unbanked collectors.
Safe, dignified shelter built from recycled plastic through the Namma Mane program.
Rehabilitation services, community integration, and dignity for marginalised waste collectors.
