rePurpose Global is a leading plastic action platform dedicated to bringing together brands, innovators, and policymakers under one roof to collectively combat the global plastic waste crisis. Its ecosystem of innovations is designed to help organizations create tangible impact and span the entire material value chain, such as verified plastic removals & credits, infrastructure activations, footprint accounting, supply chain integrations, and product certifications.

The Ocean Cleanup is an international non-profit project that develops and scales technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic. To do this, they implement a dual strategy: stemming plastic emissions via rivers and cleaning up what has already accumulated in the ocean. For the latter, The Ocean Cleanup has developed large-scale systems to efficiently concentrate plastic for periodic removal. This plastic is tracked and traced through DNV’s chain of custody model to certify claims of origin when recycling it into new products. To curb emissions via rivers, The Ocean Cleanup has developed Interceptor™ solutions to halt and extract riverine plastic before it reaches the ocean. Founded in 2013 by Boyan Slat, The Ocean Cleanup now employs a broadly multi-disciplined team of approximately 140. The foundation is headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with a regional office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
