Impact Story

At Second Life, our existence is driven by the urgent need to combat the escalating problem of ocean plastics and its detrimental effects on the environment. We believe in creating tangible solutions that empower big companies to develop circular plastic supply chains, taking responsibility for the plastics they consume and produce. By incentivizing the recovery and recycling of ocean waste by local communities and informal collectors, we foster a culture of sustainability while actively addressing the challenge of uncollected ocean plastics.

Our positive impact is far-reaching and multi-faceted. We help companies transition towards circularity, significantly reducing their plastic footprint and contributing to cleaner oceans. By adhering to Verra's plastic standard, we ensure our initiatives adhere to the highest quality and transparency standards. Through close collaboration with businesses, we not only facilitate their involvement in meaningful environmental action but also provide a platform for them to communicate their commitment to plastic sustainability to the public. Together, we forge a path towards a more sustainable future, where oceans thrive, communities prosper, and the environment is safeguarded for generations to come.
