About company
Plastics for Change is a social enterprise platform that creates a fair trade system for recycling plastic waste. Plastics For Change has applied mobile technology to create sustainable livelihoods for the urban poor, while transitioning the industry towards a circular economy. Their deal process and mobile platform provides wastepickers with access to fair and consistent income opportunities. All the real costs involved in getting the plastic from the waste pickers to the end buyer are uploaded onto this platform, which improves the supply chain efficiency and results in higher quality material. They provide technical assistance to help catalyze brands and manufacturers to replace the use of virgin plastic with ethically sourced recycled plastic, thereby immediately improving the social and environmental impact of their products.
