Recycling is flawed.

THAT'S WHERE REPURPOSE COMES IN


Wealthy Western countries who waste the most send trash to poorer ones in Asia who struggle with handling their own waste.

Of that, only 26% of plastic is profitable to recycle. The rest? Low-value plastic (LVP) indiscriminately dumped in nature.

We subsidize the ethical collection and recycling of that LVP, so when you reBalance your footprint, you are tackling the real problem: plastic that wouldn’t ordinarily be profitable to recycle.

We’re revolutionizing the industry. Join us.
