How
At Empower they provide solutions to the entire plastic value chain to empower all stakeholders to work towards the mutual goal of a sustainable and circular economy. Blockchain allows for immutable and seamless tracking and monetization of plastic. By tracking every aspect of the plastic’s journey, from on-the-ground plastic pickup operations to eventual reuse in other products. A level of transparency is reached that’s attractive to plastic processors and consumers. This increases the value of waste plastic and makes it more accessible and easier to become circular.

She hopes that through being open and honest about what you can and cannot do, you can make smart connections with partners. By having a mutual goal, that of circularity, real change is possible, if we do it together!
