Our global presence.

“2020 is the year of sustainability and social impact. Companies around the world are waking up to the reality that sustainability is no longer a ‘nice to have’ in their company, but it is a must have in the company and their culture.” - Saeed Amidi, CEO & Founder of Plug and Play

No one can solve these problems alone. Together with the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, we have created 3 regional programs with the goal of finding and promoting local solutions and then cross-pollinating them into parts of the world that need these innovative solutions the most.
