DeepChange Partners with rePurpose Global to Combat Plastic Pollution

This partnership is a major step towards creating an ecosystem where retailers and consumers can work together to address the global plastic problem. Each dollar spent through the DeepChange platform helps fund the collection of ocean-bound plastic. By leveraging rePurpose Global's expertise in verified plastic recovery, DeepChange can focus on empowering it’s community to build a more circular, inclusive and waste-free economy for our planet.

“Our partnership with rePurpose Global underscores our mission to empower environmental responsibility; creating a cleaner, healthier future for generations to come.” says Joe, Founder at DeepChange. “Our Plastic Recovery Pledge means we are taking steps to combat plastic pollution, and working with rePurpose Global means we can have a verifiable impact on our planet's ecosystems.”

Through this partnership, DeepChange is not only tackling the plastic waste crisis, but also supporting social and environmental outcomes in regions heavily impacted by plastic pollution. rePurpose Global’s impact projects have recovered over 60 million pounds of nature-bound plastic waste to date; and provide fairer, safer, and more dignified opportunities for waste workers.

“We are thrilled to partner with DeepChange in our collective mission to combat plastic pollution and drive transformational change,” says Svanika Balasubramanian, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at rePurpose Global. “We know that DeepChange shares our commitment to sustainable action. Together, we are working towards a fairer and cleaner future where plastic waste is no longer a threat to our environment and communities.”

As part of the partnership, DeepChange will support rePurpose Global's work in vulnerable communities and ecosystems and improving waste management infrastructure in local communities. As DeepChange grows, so too will the partnership and the scope of impact with rePurpose Global around the world.
