The first step in taking responsibility for our plastic footprint is understanding our impact, and luckily, social enterprise rePurpose has come up with a way for us to measure that. Once we understand what our contribution to pollution is, and we offset the unavoidable plastics our society forces upon us, we can work in habits of waste reduction which will help us control all we can.
Being aware of the waste we cannot avoid, while concurrently supporting recycling systems that handle it, an essential step as our society attempts to move towards a circular economy that is both fair and efficient.
As you saw at the end of the survey, the estimated footprint offered by rePurpose helps you offset your plastic pollution by taking responsibility for a vetted waste worker organization who will collect the equivalent plastic your annual actions create.
There could be more plastic in the ocean than fish by July 2042, so reducing your plastic output wherever you can, is a paramount part of the process as well.
