Online Marketplace for Ethical and Impactful Shopping.
Fight climate change everyday at checkout.
Protect marine life from plastic waste with your contribution today.
"We encourage all our suppliers to reduce their plastic packaging on an ongoing basis with resources and tips, but we know the journey is long to reach zero-waste. Giving our customers the chance to offset any plastic creation in their purchases is a great way to get them the products they want and need while caring for the planet and its people."
How It Works
1. Donate
As a Plastic Neutral Enabler, Simple Switch is allowing its customers to offset the plastic footprint of their purchase by donating any amount they wish at checkout which would fund the removal of ocean-bound plastic.
2. Offset
Low-value plastic is collected, processed and reused by Waste4Change - a social enterprise in Indonseia redefining solid waste management and employing and empowering waste pickers to tackle plastic waste.
3. Impact
Your donation to rePurpose Global will help add crucial income streams for informal waste workers, providing them with ethical wages and diverting plastic waste otherwise bound for landfills or oceans.

Simple Switch's Sustainability Journey
The Source

The Final Destination
They believe that even if only one person ever used this platform, the impact created would be worth the work of creating and sustaining this company. But, they want to work towards a world where buying sustainable products and supporting sustainable businesses is the norm rather than the exception.
Plastic Neutrality at Checkout
The companies Simple Switch is working with have committed to improve livelihoods. By partnering with rePurpose Global, the company is supporting ethical wages for waste workers and enabling them to fight plastic pollution in their own communities.
rePurpose Global is a movement of conscious people and businesses going Plastic Neutral by empowering waste workers to fight our global plastic epidemic.
Together, we can reduce waste, revive lives, and restore balance.
