Why in-house social responsibility teams can't do it alone
No worthwhile environmental action is simple or straightforward. Some organisations attempt to coordinate their own CSR initiatives by directly engaging small projects around the world.
But they’re usually met with a lot of obstacles.
Empower Plastic Credits can help increase the impact of your corporate social responsibility budget by as much as 85%
Make a far bigger impact per $ spent
We’ve built an infrastructure of technology and people to capture plastic waste.
We do this by making plastic collection and recycling profitable for some of the most marginalised and impoverished people in the world.
We’ve developed a technological solution to create trust and transparency - to put an end to corruption and shady tactics behind the scenes.
How Empower helps you make a difference
Developing trust
Too often environmental efforts deteriorate as a result of corruption. Unscrupulous groups take advantage by claiming to clear an area, but end up dumping the plastic elsewhere - or falsifying the whole process.
Empower addresses these issues directly.
We collaborate with fully verified waste pickup crews and collection points all around the world.
Each step in the process is fully verifiable with incorruptible documentation.
Fully verified
From collecting plastic at the source through the sorting process to its eventual recycling and reintegration back into the supply chain - every step of the process is tracked using blockchain technology.
Using blockchain means data cannot be altered by us or any other link within the chain.
Blockchain enabled tracking
We’re fully open and transparent about where your money goes.
100% of the money goes straight to the waste pickers and processors who sort the plastic and bail it up. 0% goes to Empower. Only costs are 3rd party costs for payment processing.
Transparent costs
Getting verifiable data is great - but with Empower, each kilo of plastic collected carries a full story with it too.
Whether the credit you purchased has helped clear a beach in Cameroon, a waterway in Laos or a dump site in Mumbai - you get a backstage look at exactly how your money has impacted the environment - and the people who you helped.
A story behind every credit
Øystein Johanssen
CEO of Fieldwork
“When Empower challenged us, it was an easy yes, when you combine impact with good communication, it goes straight to our heart, to our WHY.”
Reduce plastic pollution and poverty with plastic credits
How are plastic credits created?
Plastic credits are essentially generated by the collectors picking up plastic and fully documenting the process and the materials picked up.

When you buy a plastic credit, the money from that credit goes to the group that clears and processes plastic waste.
