HELP US
BEAT THE SACHET!

Sachets are probably the most damaging form of plastic packaging
and cause of much of the ocean’s microplastic

We are working with NGOs in India on an alternative suitable for all consumers

1 TRILLION HARD-TO-RECYCLE SACHETS A YEAR, AND RISING

In lower-income countries, consumer goods companies sell liquid products like shampoo and detergent in small plastic sachets to make them more affordable

It’s big business: about 1 trillion sachets are made every year

Analysts project this will approach 2 trillion in 10 years

Sachets are almost impossible to recycle

The best available end-of-life option is incineration, but most go to landfill or enter waterways

A PRIMARY SOURCE OF OCEAN MICROPLASTIC

Scientists estimate that eight rivers in Asia are among the top ten sources of plastics pollution in the world’s oceans > Source

More than 8 million tonnes of plastic leak into the oceans every year

Over 80% of this is from land-based sources of discarded plastic that has been improperly managed or leaks into the oceans  > Source

Sachets are believed to be the primary cause of this pollution

WE’RE WORKING IN INDIA
TO TEST AN ALTERNATIVE
TO SACHETS

In 2021, we devised a (possible) alternative to sachets

Feasibility studies are complete and pilot operations are set to start in November 2022

We are working with innovative Indian companies and NGOs to bring our vision to life

CARPE is an Indian charity focused on delivering sustainable and inclusive cities, towns, and villages through civic engagement and outreach

It is supported by EcoSattva, a social enterprise headquartered in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India that leverages partnerships to deliver services and solutions in solid waste management, green cover management and water body restoration
