IMPACT
IMPACT
By the end of March 2024, we'd diverted over 29,000 kg of single use plastic waste from landfill or private burning through our Wastebase services. We'd transacted over 20 tonnes of plastic waste through our Wastebase Deal service, with 45 waste pickers receiving income through these transactions.
With the help of our Data Partners, we'd recorded 359,832 single use plastic items in wastebase.org and connected each of these to 928 brands and 578 producers.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
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
