US-based meal-kit company HelloFresh is to set up three plastics collection centres in Indonesia as part of its on-going environmental protection efforts.
HelloFresh is partnering with social enterprise, Plastic Bank, to prevent plastics waste from entering the ocean by incentivising individuals living in some of the world’s most polluted beach communities to collect littered plastics in exchange for goods, services, and financial support.
Over the course of three years, the programme will aim to recover 1.6 million pounds (725 tonnes) of material from coastal areas and support more than 560 local families living in poverty. Participants will receive goods and services – including food, clean water, or school tuition for their children – in exchange for collection efforts.
