Our Impact
Increasing the value of
discarded plastics.
Providing a fair trade
minimum rate.
Building trust through
transparency and
accountability.
Fighting climate change
through recycling.
Decreasing plastic pollution
and poverty levels.
Creating respectable
employment.
We are the fair trade of recycled plastic. Our model
increases the value of plastic for those at the base of
the recycling pyramid in developing countries. By
increasing the value of discarded plastics, we help to
reduce both plastic pollution and poverty levels.
Our transparent, open book trading service connects base of the
pyramid recyclers directly with buyers in a mutually beneficial trading
system. We are revolutionizing fair trade market access to increase
recycling rates through transparency and accountability.
We partner with sustainable brands to recycle our ethically sourced
plastic into eco-friendly product lines. We give consumers the option to
create change through their purchasing decisions.
There has never been a more critical time for change. Over 3 billion
people lack access to waste management. As a result by 2025, there is
expected to be 1 tonne of plastic for every 3 tonnes of fish in our
oceans.
We don’t need to create any more new plastic from oil; we simply need
companies to source their plastic ethically and create fair trade
markets.
Our model is implemented in collaboration with local recycling coops,
non-government organizations and industry partners.
We are looking to connect with recycling leaders who share our
passion for reducing poverty and plastic waste. To learn more about

Yasbel’s reason for change.
Yasbel is a single mother of 3
living in India. With limited opportunity for employment she provides for her
family by collecting discarded plastics. She is not expected to live past age 45.
Surviving on only a few dollars a day, she cannot break out of this circle of
poverty. In India alone there are 1.5 million waste picker recyclers like Yasbel.
But change is possible, we can break the cycle. Help us bring Plastics For
Change to Yasbel’s community.
