Our vision

We believe a world free of plastic waste is achievable within our lifetimes.

The principles that drive our impact

Our theory of change is built on five founding philosophies that drive everything we do.

Impact requires scale

We help innovators scale from early adoption to building business models that work for the mainstream economy.

Transparency drives investment

We track every kilogram of plastic recovered through our reTrace platform, providing clear impact ROI.

Urgency drives Innovation

Plastic waste is leaking into oceans and will triple by 2040. We have no time to wait for perfect solutions.

Environmental and economic justice are inseparable

The 20 million waste workers who power our recycling systems deserve dignity, fair wages, and safety—not just as a moral imperative, but because effective environmental solutions require just labor practices.

Systems Change Beats Silver Bullets

We need systemic change that incentivizes reuse, recyclability, and regulation—not choosing between upstream and downstream solutions, but creating an entirely new framework that addresses the whole cycle.
