The story behind our collection: how we really make the difference

At The BlueWave Collective, we believe in collaboration and building relationships that make our world better. We are working with great organizations, such as Plastic for Change, to realize our mission: to transform lives through recycling. Together we are the first step in our chain, committed to collecting as much plastic as possible. As a result, we are not only contributing to a cleaner planet, but also driving social change. The clean-up initiatives improve financial security and create safer workplaces for those involved in plastic collection, helping us not only improve their lives, but also increase the plastic collection. Together we form a powerful engine for positive change.

Our Mission: Cheer up life with recycling

Plastic for Change is determined to improve human lives through recycling. They are partnering with tough brands to make their supply chains more sustainable with recycled plastic. The result? Less pollution, less poverty and a world that takes better care of our planet.

Our Vision: A world where plastic waste is a valuable resource for reducing poverty

What Plastic for Change envisions is truly inspiring. They want to create a world where plastic waste is seen as a valuable resource that helps to reduce poverty. That means not only greener use of plastic, but opportunities for the people involved in the recycling process.

The fight against climate change

One cool thing about Plastic for Change is that they encourage companies to switch from new plastic to recycled plastic. Why? Because this not only helps the planet by emitting less greenhouse gases, but also helps companies get greener and earn more.

Creating jobs

Did you know that in developing countries, 1% of the city population makes their money from recycling? Plastic for Change wants to give these people a more stable way of income. This makes lives better and the economy remains more stable.

Less plastic pollution

More than 3 billion people worldwide do not have a good way to clean up their waste. By cleaning up and reusing plastic waste, Plastic for Change helps to reduce the massive plastic pollution and protect the environment.

At The BlueWave Collective, we are super proud to work with Plastic for Change as the first step in our supply chain. Local communities get a fair wage to collect plastic waste, which is then selected and sorted. This is where our sustainability adventure begins, and it extends beyond that. Together, we change lives and make the world greener.

It starts with collecting plastic, but it's about so much more than that. We believe that even the smallest conscious choices can make a big difference. Thanks to organizations like Plastic for Change, we are committed to a better world, a recycled plastic bottle and a durable backpack at the same time. Cool, right?
