Most Influential for Plastic Waste Reduction Empowerment 2019

Winners of UPenn President's 2018 Engagement Prize and UC Berkeley's 2019 Global Social Ventures Competition, rePurpose is social enterprise committed to building a global community of conscious consumers and businesses going PlasticNeutral. As the world's first plastic crediting platform, we help people and companies take impactful climate action by financing crucial infrastructure that stems the flow of ocean plastic across the world. Here's how we do it: 1) PlasticNeutral Products: measure & compensate for plastic footprint of products by removing and recycling an equivalent amount of ocean-bound plastic waste through vetted projects in 6 countries across Asia, South America, and Africa. 2) EverydayNeutral: a tick-box at the point-of-checkout for any e-commerce retailer where customers can add <$1 and erase the unique plastic footprint of their purchase that day. 3) Customized Solutions: tailor-make climate neutrality solutions, such as incorporating ethically sourced recycled plastic into products."
