OUR PLASTIC NEUTRAL PROMISE
REMOVING AS MUCH PLASTIC FROM NATURE AS USED IN OUR PRODUCTS
"The Plastic Neutral partnership is part of our resolve to CARE for our homes, family and the planet. It's the first step we've taken to measure and reduce the plastic footprint CARE bottles generate. We're committed to reducing this further by rethinking the way we pack CARE cleaners. Our mission is to build solutions that are One with the Earth and commit us to build a closed-loop circular supply chain."

HOW IT WORKS
-
CALCULATE
The first step in our journey was to understand where we are at, in order to inform future action. We established our current plastic footprint and committed to pledging a percentage of every product purchase towards the removal of nature-bound plastic waste.
-
FINANCE
We fund the elimination of as much plastic waste from oceans and landfills as we produce through our collaboration with vetted rePurpose Impact Projects, which are empowering waste workers to tackle plastic waste in local communities.
-
REDUCE
Going Plastic Neutral is a continuous commitment, and that’s why we are working with rePurpose Global to develop a future roadmap reducing the use of virgin plastics in our products — and build a more circular business and delivery model.
SUSTAINABLE SANITATION SOLUTIONS THAT ARE ONE WITH THE EARTH
IMPACT THAT UNITES THE WORLD
When we choose to take action on our plastic waste, we create meaningful impact in a world without borders. We fund waste management facilities and empower local communities in geographies without the necessary infrastructure to remove, recover, and recycle plastic waste that would have otherwise remained in the environment for centuries.
SUPERCHARGING SYSTEMIC IMPACT
First, we work with vetted and experienced circular economy and waste management ventures. Next, we fund programs that enable these ventures to scale up plastic waste avoidance, removal, recovery, and recycling efforts. Finally, through thorough due diligence, we ensure adherence to global environmental and labor standards.
It takes an army to fight the ongoing plastic waste crisis, and with rePurpose Global, we are able to create tangible environmental and socio-economic impact. We’re not only helping remove plastic waste from the environment, but we’re also enabling steady livelihoods for forgotten waste workers across the globe.

EKAM ECO-SOLUTIONS’
PLASTIC NEUTRAL JOURNEY
STEP 1: SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
Ekam launched CARE cleaners in 2017 to help people CARE for their homes, families, and the planet. Made of active bioenzymes and natural extracts like lemon and orange peel, CARE natural cleaners are better for the health of homes and that of the water bodies as they help break down sewage and prevent harmful chemicals from reaching the water bodies.
STEP 2: THE PLASTIC NEUTRAL SHIFT
Building on rePurpose Global’s belief that businesses can positively impact the environment and society, Ekam Eco Solutions has gone Plastic Neutral. Through our partnership, we are taking the first step to systemic environmental change — financing waste management infrastructure and empowering marginalized workers fighting the plastic waste crisis on the frontlines.
STEP 3: THE FINAL DESTINATION
Always in the pursuit of cleaner and safer water bodies, Ekam Eco will keep innovating technologies and taking initiatives that are good for the health of the planet. By going Plastic Neutral, the brand is also taking steps towards building a circular supply chain and finding alternatives to plastic packaging.
