PLASTIC WASTE DEPOSIT SYSTEM

______

Check out our work on the BBC Reel

Plastic waste poses considerable environmental challenge. As a single use product there is currently no universal waste management system in place that deals with the disposal and recycling of plastic. Empower is a Norwegian start-up using blockchain technology that rewards community action. Now in more than 15 countries the app-based platform incentivises the collection of plastic waste, kick-starts waste management systems and encourages transparency in the supply chains of plastic producers.

HOW WE MAKE THE IMPACT

______

Empower is building a global plastic waste ecosystem based on the same philosophy as the Norwegian bottle deposit system. You can take part in giving plastic value and kick-start its journey in a transparent and traceable route from waste to a new product. We are cleaning up the world while fighting poverty by providing wages to those in need. Our goal is to promote disruptive solutions which can contribute to shape a fully circular economy. Reduce plastic pollution and poverty with plastic credits!
