IMPACT UPDATE
We are a young start-up with a big ambition. Changing behaviours and how things are done and made take time but we are on the right path!
We collect data and will measure and report our impact as our journey continues.
We are focusing on 3 main outcomes for now:
​
- How many plastic bottles we have rescued from landfill and up-cycled: 7,137 bottles so far!
​
- How many meters of plastic film from dry cleaners have we eliminated. This data will be collected as soon as our mobile app will launch
​
- How many people have we empowered and helped back into employment. We will measure this impact with the help of the social partners we are working with.
