rePurpose impact framework in action
The BASE Framework is our leading impact creation process that is the strong foundation for each rePurpose Global plastic recovery impact project. This framework ensures that our interventions in each geography create additional, impactful and verifiable outcomes.
Baseline
A Tourist and Pollution Hotspot
- 85% of overall LVP generated in Goa is mismanaged and beach litter in Goa is the highest in India.
- The coast is home to vulnerable species like the humpback dolphins, Olive Ridley and leatherback turtles.

Evaluation
Thorough audit and assurance process
- Plastic recovered through each project is tracked and traced via reTrace technology.
- Through the year, in line with a comprehensive guide to audit and assurance, each project undergoes multiple audits for environmental compliance and social safeguards. These are carried out by both internal and external teams.
Impact guaranteed with rePurpose’s proprietary technology - reTrace
reTrace™ is rePurpose Global's proprietary technology tool for impact verification. Every kilogram of plastic waste is recorded, uploaded, and verified through a chain-of-custody approach.
reTrace™ makes all impact data readily available for regular third-party audits.
