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
Plastic from the city leaks into the ocean
- Over 150 tonnes of ‘low value’ plastic - with no recycling value - are generated in Chennai every day
- World's second longest urban beach, The Marina Beach is covered with trash almost daily due to littering and waste from the city's waterways
2. Additionality
Increased Collections and New Infrastructure
- Incentivize collection of low-value plastic waste
- Long term capacity building with New Material Recovery Facility (MRF)
- Support transportation to the best end-of-life destination for materials
3. Solution
Solution for Neela Sapna
- Public-private partnership involving the City Municipal Council, staff and on ground impact partner
- Increased collection rates
- New MRF with state of the art equipment to scale capacity
4. Evaluation
Thorough Audit and Assurance Process
- In line with the comprehensive rePurpose Audit & Assurance Protocol (rAAP), each project undergoes multiple levels of internal audits - from documentation checks to onsite visits. Everything is tracked and traced via reTrace technology.
- In addition each project is also audited through third parties to provide an independent assurance.
