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
A Tourist and Pollution Hotspot
- More than a third of plastic waste is uncollected, and beach litter in Goa is the highest in India
- The coast is home to vulnerable species like the humpback dolphins, olive ridley and leatherback turtles
2. Additionality
Household Collections and End-To-End Waste Management
- Increase collection rates
- Scale capacity with a new larger facility and modern equipment
3. Solution
Solution for Saaf Samudra
- Incentivize the collection of low-value plastic waste from households
- Sorting and segregation with upgraded infrastructure
- Transportation to the best end destination
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.
