ACTION MEETS ADDITIONALITY
Creating impact where it truly matters, every piece of plastic removed by us is one that would otherwise remain in the environment for centuries. First and foremost, we conduct a baseline assessment to understand how your impact can strive beyond the status quo. Through rigorous and exhaustive documentation and verification, we ensure 100% additionality is guaranteed.
We don't landfill, burn or incinerate. Sending plastic waste to the safest end destination is our motto.
