ImpactAlpha, June 2 – Recycling company Plastics for Change sources landfill- and ocean-bound plastic waste from informal workers through a tech platform designed to ensure fair prices for the collectors.
The company has raised a $2 million round, led by Mirova Natural Capital, which backed the company through the Althelia investment group it acquired last year.
Aavishkaar-backed Nepra also leverages the informal waste worker economy to boost recycling in India.
