While the majority of rePurpose Global’s clients were based in the US and Europe, the organisations we worked with to fight the plastic crisis were based in countries like India, Indonesia, Colombia, and Kenya.

The reason for this is that while the West is arguably the biggest contributor of plastic waste in the world, they export a majority of that waste to so-called third-world nations, which are ill-equipped to handle that waste, and most definitely underfunded in their efforts.

This was at the core of rePurpose Global’s model — holding those responsible for the waste crisis accountable.

These videos tell the stories of those brave souls on the frontlines of this epic battle, as they fight against insurmountable odds to tackle this crisis.
