🌿 Partnering with Thrive Market for a Plastic Waste-Free Future 🌿 We understand the challenges brands face with plastic use. Plastic remains practical and affordable. But its environmental impact is undeniable. We've partnered with Thrive Market to tackle this issue head-on. In 2023, we launched the Thriving Together Plastic Action Working Group. We welcomed 102 conscious brands to join us on a plastic reduction journey. In the 2024 cohort, 128 brands are actively participating: setting actionable goals to reduce their plastic footprint. Together, we've already recovered over 800,000 pounds of plastic from nature! But we're not stopping there. Our collective aim is to recover 1 million pounds of plastic waste. In addition to funding recovery, the working group empowers brands to make a difference. Through educational webinars, one-on-one guidance, and hands-on support, we're building a community dedicated to sustainability. 🌱 Follow-up comment: Read the article about our partnership with Thrive here: https://lnkd.in/d5v4uzWX

📈 We have just reached 30 million kilograms of verified plastic waste recovery. More specifically, 30,328,127 kg - over 66 million lbs. This is all plastic that - without rePurpose Global and our brand partners - would have ended up in our oceans and natural environment. By recovering plastic rePurpose Global is protecting sensitive ecosystems and marginalized communities from plastic pollution, and providing fairer incomes and opportunities for workers. This 30 million kg milestone has been made possible by the combined efforts of over 500 purposeful brands, our incredible impact partners, and the hard work of our team at rePurpose Global. With your support we can hit the 40 million kg mark sooner. That means more pollution avoided, more waste workers supported, and more plastic brought back into use. Join us in the movement for a cleaner, greener future. 💚🍃🌏 #plasticwaste #sustainability #oceanhealth #circulareconomy

🌍 Impact gaps are fundamentally financing gaps. To reduce mismanaged waste by 90% by 2040, we need to invest $5.2 trillion annually into our circular economy. The UN Global Plastics Treaty offers a guiding vision for tackling plastic waste, but achieving this requires substantial financial investments from the private sector. $5.2 trillion sounds intimidating. But at 0.2% of global GDP it is achievable. By working together, we can turn this vision into reality and create a sustainable future for all.

The Pacific coast of Colombia is a preferred breeding ground for humpback whales, and plastic pollution leaking into the oceans here is a direct threat to them. Our project here - Paraíso de Ballenas - recovers and recycles plastic waste from beaches in Buenaventura: a region lacking proper waste collection systems. In partnership with Ecoworks, we’ve established a unique, community-led approach that: -Incentivizes plastic waste collection -Provides new job opportunities for local workers -Improves livelihoods for waste workers with: increased incomes, health insurance, hygiene facilities, safety training, and protective gear -Reduces ocean plastic pollution close to whale breeding grounds Get in touch to find out more about how we're making a positive impact through our work with Ecoworks! 🌊💚

Global plastic waste has skyrocketed from 180 million tonnes in the 1990s to over 350 million tonnes today (OECD - OCDE Global Plastics Outlook). Packaging contributes nearly 40% to this figure. Rethinking packaging strategies is a crucial role that brands can play in the fight against plastic waste. There are many ways for brands to reduce plastic pollution. From using biodegradable materials to designing for reuse and recyclability; to supporting robust recovery and waste management infrastructure programs. Consumers are also increasingly looking to engage with conscious brands that take action on plastic pollution, so it can be a win for brands as well as for the planet. 🌱 #PlasticRecovery #EnvironmentalImpact #CircularEconomy #Sustainability
