We are on a path to redefine the perception of LVP from problematic waste to a valuable resource by reintegrating it into the value chain. We are developing innovative, scalable, research-based solutions while investing in local recycling centres.

We have established a Social Business model based on the Plastic Credit (PC) concept. PCs generated by each ton of LVP we recycle or appropriately dispose of in Nepal are sold to companies that genuinely aim to reduce their plastic consumption and wish to take responsibility for the remaining part. Revenue from PCs subsidise the collection and recycling process, enabling the utilisation of LVP in, for example, road construction.

In collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute and other academic partners, we have developed an innovative process for utilising LVP as a bitumen replacement in road construction, enhancing their quality and durability, while lowering the costs.

We are committed to collaborate with local waste industry stakeholders, sharing our expertise and inspiring an entrepreneurial approach to combat plastic pollution. Additionally, we lead by example and provide guidance to our partners in uplifting standards. We strive to ensure safe and healthy working conditions for waste sector workers, advocating for protective equipment, fair wages, job security, and accident insurance – we not only promote these aspects but also demand them from every actor we cooperate with.

We are committed to doing whatever it takes so that the plastic does not end up in nature, polluting the fragile Nepali environment and endangering the public health. We are proving that used plastic is a resource, not a waste.
