Bahari Safi - rePurpose Global

rePurpose Global 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.

1. Baseline

Lamu's biodiversity is threatned

Lamu District holds 62% of Kenya’s mangroves that are threatened by plastic pollution.
Lamu county is isolated from major towns and struggles with poor waste management facilities.

2. Additionality

Recycling ocean bound plastic

All plastic types are collected and managed.
Everything including low value plastics are recycled.

3. Solution

Solution for Bahari Safi

Collection through community groups, informal collectors and island inhabitants.
Proper sorting, processing and recycling of PET as well as low value plastics.
Creating local artisanal products like furniture and Dhows (traditional sailboats)

4. 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.
