rePurpose 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.

Baseline

Plastic pollution from city to ocean
  • Lack of clean drinking water results into need for packaged alternates. The result is more waste and lack of adequate collection systems.
  • Rivers flowing through the city, via the Douala-Edéa National Park and mangrove forests, are filled with plastic.

Additionality

Funding river clean ups and recycling
  • Collecting waste already leaked into rivers and waterways before it reaches the ocean
  • Creating recycled PET straps for local and export consumption

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.
