Building the sector.

We are pioneers in the plastic recovery sector: driving accountability, circularity, and socio-economic progress while stopping plastic pollution.

rePurpose: The revolution that waste management needs.

Our frameworks help to lay the foundations for a new and better plastic waste industry. We are building a sector based on transparency, knowledge-sharing, and impact. Key contributions include:

rePurpose Social Impact Code

The first standard of its kind, ensuring that plastic recovery projects maximise environmental and socio-economic impact. The Social Impact Code is applicable to all plastic recovery projects, regardless of project type or location, and makes sure that waste workers and communities are at the heart of rePurpose Global’s project work.

Verified Plastic Recovery Protocol

Building on our ground-breaking protocol, this updated set of rules and guidelines set out the industry best practices that govern the traceability, additionality, and verifiability of our plastic recovery projects.

Developing standards with Verra

Our standards draw from our close work with Verra. rePurpose Global is a Plastic Standard Development Committee Member and co-developed the world's first plastic credit standard: Verra's Plastic Waste Collection Methodology.

Net Zero Plastic Footprint

We have recently created new, robust standards for Net Zero Plastic Footprint and Net Zero Plastic to Nature. These certifications take into account all plastic that is not reusable or post-consumer recycled, and requires public disclosure of plastic footprints and reduction commitments.

Plastic Neutral and Plastic Negative Certification Standards

Our certifications provide an accessible way for brands to take voluntary action on plastic pollution, and are underpinned by robust guidance around contributions, reduction commitments, and use.

Spearheading more inclusive plastic waste policies.

rePurpose Global and The Ocean Cleanup established the Innovation Alliance for a Global Plastics Treaty (IAGPT).

‍Innovation-led systems-change lies at the heart of tackling the plastic pollution crisis. Despite this there is a traditional lack of representation from solutionists in policymaking.

IAGPT was set up to overcome this, and the alliance includes more than 60 leading global solution providers, actively working across the entire plastic pollution lifecycle.

Ahead of the UN Global Plastic Treaty in 2024, our goal is to unite 1,000 innovators, and serve as a bridge between innovation and plastics policymaking worldwide. To join us, or for more information, see iagpt.org

rePurpose Global is part of the Plastic Footprint Network. The network exists to keep plastic footprint methodologies up to date and provide a standardized global approach. This supports organizations to measure and report their plastic use and plastic leakage accurately.

Pioneering systems-change at a global scale.
