Advancing a circular economy for plastics

The Alliance partnered with Greencore in Indonesia to incentivise pengepuls and waste pickers, improving cash flow to help collect and redirect flexible plastic packaging for recycling.

The Mr Green Africa project seeks to scale community-based plastic waste collection in Kenya through incentives, while boosting recycling capabilities to unlock the hidden value of plastic waste.

In 2025, the Alliance funded new and upgraded existing LDPE recycling equipment at Eco Renew Recyclers, one of the country's leading suppliers of high-quality thermoplastic pellets.

We supported the transformation of a landfill site in Mathura into a fully operational materials recovery facility capable of processing 300 tonnes of mixed municipal waste daily.

Recognising the value of ARO's work and the critical role of informal reclaimers in the recycling ecosystem, the Alliance has enabled the organisation to strengthen its capacity and expand its impact.

A loan from the Alliance helped T3 in Kenya, a family-owned business, acquire a recycling line called the Starlinger, which is approved by the American Food and Drug Administration.

In Nepal, where tough terrain and poor infrastructure hinder recycling, the Alliance is collaborating with local waste collector Creasion to enhance waste management and support informal workers.
