200,000 plastic bottles diverted from nature
Plastic recovery in Kerala, India
Project baseline:
Kozhikode is a coastal city in the south Indian state of Kerala, which used to be a significant spice trade center. Over time, it turned into a densely populated city with a public waste management infrastructure that leaves much to be desired.
Project activity:
In collaboration with our Partner Organization Green Worms, your impact investments subsidize the collection and recovery of plastics that are otherwise bound for nature. Your investment incentivizes the collection and transport of flexible plastics from unmanaged landfills, while supporting additional income and health benefits for their all women workforce.

Note from the Plastic Scorecard
ACME’s 2023 Plastic Scorecard came to fruition in response to the growing concern of the plastic crisis. At the Plastic Scorecard help companies to prioritize environmental stewardship across our organization, and we believe reducing the internal plastic footprint is the most critical critical component.
Acme believes in a healthy future for their customers and the planet, and rethinking their plastic footprint was a logical step in the right direction.
