4. Evaluation

Thorough Audit and Assurance Process

Each Project's plastic recovery is tracked and traced via reTrace technology.
Furthermore, in line with the comprehensive rePurpose Audit & Assurance Protocol (rAAP), each project is audited for environmental compliance and social safeguards through multiple levels of internal audits - from documentation checks to onsite visits.
In addition projects are also audited through third parties to provide an independent assurance.
