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 growing urban waste crisis
- With 79% of low value plastic being mismanaged, many residents resort to dumping in lakes and open areas.
- 45% of the overall plastic waste generated is low value plastics.
Additionality
Urban collection of neglected plastic waste
- Increase collection rates from house holds.
- Scale capacity with decentralized waste management model (collection centers operated by micro-entrepreneurs)
Solution
Solution for Sada Shakti
- Public-private partnership with Town Municipal Corporations and impact partner, to improve collections.
- Scale capacity with micro entrepreneurship model and new collection centers.
- Transportation to the best end destination.
- Continuous innovation and trials for viable recycling of low value plastics.
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.
