IMPACT
IMPACT
By the end of March 2025, we'd diverted over 80 tonnes of single use plastic waste from landfill or private burning through our Wastebase services. As part of this, we'd transacted over 69 tonnes of plastic waste through our Repa service, with 324 waste pickers engaged in the service.
With the help of our Data Partners, we'd recorded 453,613 single use plastic items in wastebase.org and connected each of these 744 producers. People from 42 countries contributed to this data.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe that emerging digital technologies can support better, cheaper and more efficient plastic waste management. Our approach is based on these fundamental principles:
We are all responsible for plastic waste; the price of plastic should include the costs of managing waste in a way that minimises harm to the environment
