What Does RePurpose Global Offer?

‍

RePurpose Global helps businesses fund the recovery of plastic waste through certified removal efforts, mostly from landfills and incineration streams in developing countries. Their focus is on creating “Plastic Neutral” certifications through:

‍

• Waste Recovery Projects: Removes plastic from landfills and unsorted waste streams before it can be burned or dumped.
  ‍
• Social Impact Partnerships: Works with waste workers to provide jobs and income in underserved communities.
  ‍
• Plastic Credit System: Uses verified plastic recovery credits that brands can purchase to offset their plastic footprint.
  ‍
• Impact Reporting: Offers brands summary reports and impact certificates to communicate removal efforts, as well as marketing toolkits for spreading the word.
  ‍
• Certification Badges: Provides a “Plastic Neutral” mark for companies to use on packaging and websites.

‍

It’s a mission with strong social value, but one that leans heavily on offsetting models and broad reporting frameworks.

What Does Ecodrive Offer?

‍

Built for integration, storytelling, and transparency, Ecodrive makes it easy to embed plastic removal directly into your business model and customer experience.

How Does Verification and Transparency Compare?

‍

RePurpose Global provides certification via third-party auditors and offers downloadable impact summaries and annual updates around broader project contributions, but doesn’t connect individual brand contributions to specific cleanup sessions.

‍

Ecodrive takes a more granular approach:
Every action is assigned a unique Impact ID, tied to a specific time, place, and project team. Brands can use this data to engage customers and validate every pound of plastic removed — visually and instantly.

‍

‍

How Easy Is It to Integrate Into Your Business?

‍

RePurpose Global generally requires onboarding calls and a custom scoping process.

‍

Ecodrive is built for plug-and-play:
Launch in under 10 minutes with pre-built integrations and automated workflows. Whether you want to run a short campaign or build impact into every sale, setup is seamless.

‍

‍

How Does Pricing Compare?

‍

RePurpose Global typically uses a credit-based pricing model, with per-ton minimums or annual commitments. They measure the plastic footprint of a company's packaging and supply chain, then facilitate the removal and reuse of an equivalent amount of low-value plastic waste through a network of vetted recycling initiatives. This approach helps companies become "Plastic Neutral".

‍

It’s built for brands making full-offset pledges, but may be less flexible for evolving business needs or smaller-scale activations.

‍

Ecodrive allows you to scale at your own pace — whether you’re testing a new idea, running seasonal promotions, or building full-time sustainability into your brand. Ecodrive technology allows you to pull plastic from the ocean with every customer action—sales, meetings booked, email sign ups, and much more—allowing you to double down and increase conversions around any area of your business through sustainable impact.
