Plastic Credits: Your contribution

Each Plastic Credit funds the collection and processing of 1 kg of plastic waste from rivers and waterways. The results are transparently documented, independently verified and measurable.

On our migo platform, every Credit is recorded individually and can be traced from the collection site through to processing. This gives you reliable evidence of the environmental contribution you have funded.

You can use this as a solid foundation for your sustainability communication and reporting, including in light of growing requirements under EmpCo, PPWR and CSRD.

Strengthening systems: regenerative business

For us, regenerative business means not just preserving ecological and social systems, but actively strengthening them and supporting their long-term development. This holistic approach goes far beyond collecting plastic waste.

At our project locations, we lay the foundations for lasting improvements in rivers and waterways. Alongside collecting waste, we build infrastructure designed to last. Our Zero Waste Centers and local teams keep our projects operating over time.

Through long-term projects, we create local jobs and support local economies. Independent certifications make our impact transparent and traceable.

Companies that partner with everwave actively contribute to building regenerative systems. Their support helps remove waste from waterways over the long term, return valuable resources to the circular economy and create lasting benefits for local communities.
