Nuevo Ciclo - 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

Pollution and Poverty‍

Less than 2% of flexible plastics are collected.
Colombia needs 520,000 new homes a year.
The city relies heavily on informal waste pickers.

2. Additionality

Collection And Transformation of Plastic Waste Made Viable

Scale collection of low value plastic through community awareness.
Enable recycling of commercially non-recyclable waste plastic.
Donate community amenities like schools, playgrounds etc.

3. Solution

Solution for Nuevo Ciclo

Community collection through bottles of love
Transformation of low-value plastic to Recycled Plastic Lumber (RPL)
Donation of public amenities of RPL

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.
