Plastic Action by precycle

Precycle enables individuals to take responsibility of their plastic footprint. Doing so will fund the recovery of plastic waste with our partner organization in India and support the development of fair plastic waste infrastructure in one of the countries that need it the most. This is possible through a plastic credit system. Plastic Credits are generated by our impact partners - recyclers in the Global South who recover & recycle plastic waste under fair work conditions. Those credits can be used by brands and individuals in the Global North, who want to offset unavoidable plastic emissions.

Our system generates a triple impact - social, ecological and economic.

We want to demonstrate the power of individual actions in the plastic crisis. Our funding goal is to raise 100k Euros.

Half of the funds will be used for a social inclusion program to formalize and upgrade a facility of a semi-formal recycler in India. In addition, we will create fair jobs for 16 individuals from an underprivileged background. This will enable the semi-formal recycler to recover 160 metric tonnes of plastic waste from the environment.
This project will serve as a model for hundreds of similar projects across the globe!

The other half of the raised funds will be used to further sophisticate our digital tools that will help us in accurately calculating, tracking and tracing of plastic footprint of brands and individuals in the near future.

Support this project to spread hope - it is actually possible to tackle the plastic crisis! All it needs is responsible individuals and brands that take ownership of their plastic footprint.
We at precycle can then support and equip the people that are most affected by the plastic crisis.
Your support will help us to create first impact on ground and improve our digital tools and services - so that in the near future it is possible for brands and individuals to fight the plastic crisis together.

Do your bit today and back this project to build plastic waste management infrastructure to handle the waste of the past, present and the future!

If the project is funded then we will use the raised 100k Euros to

- bring back 160t of low value plastic waste from the environment

- create direct jobs for 16 individuals from underprivileged backgrounds which provides them with minimum wage, social security, occupational safety, healthy working condition, regular health checks, and assistance in opening a bank account.

-upgrade a semi-formal recycler's facility with machineries like conveyor belts and baling machines as well as safety aids such as PPE, fire extinguisher, CCTV, first aid kit. This ensures hygienic and safe working conditions. The entrepreneur and on-roll employees will also receive trainings on Material Handling, book keeping, Fire Safety and Environmental and Health Safety Training

- further support Precycle's development of the digital platform that will enable brands and individuals to calculate, track and offset their plastic footprint
