The families we serve live in communities with poor waste infrastructure. To make an income, they collect, sort, and sell recyclable materials, removing what's deemed as trash from landfills and the environment and enabling brands to transform them into new products.
We work to improve the working conditions and income of the families that we serve. Our goal is to keep as much 'trash' out of the environment as possible through direct programming and services and by transforming supply chain systems to be inclusive of all workers.
Your help can ensure less trash is in our oceans and landfills by supporting their work, while also providing them with the opportunity to pull themselves out of poverty for good.
OUR SERVICES
Direct Programming
Our programming improves working conditions and livelihoods for our families and instills dignity into their work.
We support aggregators, recyclers, brands, and investors to address responsible sourcing practices in their value chains.
