Driving social impact through plastic circularity
"adaPETation demonstrates that circularity can generate both environmental and social value. By connecting actors across the value chain and strengthening local participation, it ensures that plastic circularity involves not just materials, but also livelihoods, accountability and shared responsibility."
"Plastic circularity is still struggling to move out of recycling discussions and into redesign discussions. If we find viable ways to harness plastic as a resource, it will provide economic opportunity in many disenfranchised communities."
"adaPETation stands out because it combines technical understanding of plastic circularity with a deep commitment to social and community transformation. It creates spaces where innovators, recyclers, NGOs, and companies can act with solutions to transform the society with sustainability. For organizations like Litro de Luz Brasil, it is a partner that understands the importance of both environmental outcomes and human dignity. It serves as a bridge, connecting circular strategies with grassroots realities and helps scale solutions that are purposeful, inclusive, and truly transformative."
