Our Ground Work
We take an on-the-ground, system-wide approach to building a circular economy based on a city given’s needs.
Our activities range from waste collection to end-market development, with our current impact focused on Plastics, Climate, Livelihoods, and Cities.
Our system-wide approach
To create effective we change, we believe a circular system should address all six dimensions of waste management.
After four years of extensive learning and on the-ground work in Asia and Latin America, we have codified our approach in our Six Dimensions of Integrated Waste Management Framework Report.
Our Impact
Plastics
We address the vicious cycle of both unreliable demand and poor supply that prevent material from flowing smoothly through the system.
Climate
Through partnerships with the Climate and Clean Air Coalition and Global Methane Hub, we are working to cut methane emissions by diverting organic waste from landfills.
Livelihoods
As part of our mission to advance the circular economy in the Global South, our work is also focused on improving livelihoods through inclusive waste management solutions.
