Use data to help reduce plastic waste in our environment
Year on year, millions of tonnes of plastic, worth billions of dollars, ends up in landfills, is burned, or leaked into the environment. If we don't rethink its use, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050. Ellen MacArthur Foundation
Our Wastebase digital platform helps deal with the production and discarding of plastic waste in countries where traditional solid waste management faces systemic constraints.
