THE STORY

In 2016, we met entrepreneurs in Java, Indonesia, who launched businesses that have positive environmental and social impact, either by raising awareness on plastic waste, collecting it or sorting it out.

Since then, we have realised that recycling is not a circular way to deal with waste coming from single-use plastic packaging and items as:​​

• most countries, particularly developing ones, lack the proper infrastructures to manage such waste when it comes to collection, sorting and recycling,

• even if a single-use plastic packaging or item is recycled, it is downgraded once or twice in a lower value product before ending up in landfills. Worldwide, only 2 % of plastic packaging is recycled in a closed loop system (bottle-to-bottle).

​The current distribution model based on single-use plastic packaging or items, particularly in the food & beverage, cosmetic or hospitality sectors, is unsustainable as it is waste and cost intensive.

​

It is high time to rethink and reinvent the packaging and items companies use for more product sustainability, customer loyalty and value generation! Therefore, at InOff Plastic, we support firms in designing and implementing zero single-use plastic distribution models by capitalising on existing solutions provided by local impactful actors.

THE TEAM

Passionate about leading firms to adapt to their business, environmental and social environment,
we have created InOff Plastic in 2019 to accompany firms in tackling plastic waste.
