Empowering Street Collectors in Plastic R Campaign

Objective: To establish a sustainable plastic recycling initiative that empowers street collectors and addresses environmental concerns.

Infrastructure Costs: The project requires an initial investment of $200,000 to set up the necessary infrastructure for collecting, processing, and recycling plastic materials.

Key Components:

1. Collection Points: Create strategically placed collection points in urban areas where street collectors can deposit plastic materials. These collection points will serve as the initial contact point.

2. Sorting Facilities: Invest in sorting facilities to categorize collected plastics, ensuring better recycling efficiency.

3. Grinding Equipment: Acquire grinding machines to process collected plastics into recyclable materials.

Impact:

• Income Generation: Provide street collectors with a reliable source of income by purchasing their collected plastics at competitive rates.

• Environmental Benefits: Reduce plastic waste in the environment and contribute to a cleaner, greener community.

• Job Creation: Create employment opportunities in collection, sorting, and processing, benefiting the local community.

• Recycling Market: Contribute to the supply chain of recycled materials for various industries.

Sustainability: Revenue generated from the sale of recycled materials will be reinvested to maintain and expand the project.

Outcome: A self-sustaining plastic recycling initiative that empowers street collectors, mitigates plastic pollution, and fosters community development.
