Through key partnerships, we help accelerate solution-based projects or organisations by connecting them with resources they need, from funding to implementation. We work our way upstream from beaches to townships, with a special focus on solutions that create value from plastic waste thus intercepting plastic before it enters our waterways and environment. With EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) becoming a reality in SA we are on the hunt to make this shift smooth and beneficial for not only the environment but brands and retailers too.
About Us
Our goal is to accelerate impactful solutions to the plastics crisis by working collaboratively upstream.
