We have launched a program as part of our environmental sustainability initiative, collaborating with rePurpose Global, the world's foremost Plastic Action Platform.

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 low-value plastic waste from oceans and landfills through our collaboration with vetted rePurpose Impact Projects, which are empowering waste workers to tackle plastic waste in local communities.
-
REDUCE
Taking Plastic Action is a continuous commitment, and that’s why we are working with rePurpose Global to develop a future roadmap reducing the use of plastics in our products — and build a more circular business and delivery model.
At Lifezen, we are committed to the health of people and the planet.
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.

LIFEZEN’S
PLASTIC ACTION JOURNEY
STEP 1: SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
While plastic has become indispensable in our daily lives, its pervasive presence poses a significant threat to both health and the environment. Sustainable development is a global concern as it contributes to the economic development and social well-being of a company and a nation at large. The rePurpose Global team is helping directly and indirectly in combating plastic pollution and is simultaneously taking care of the well-being of their labour group.
STEP 2: THE PLASTIC ACTION SHIFT
Building on rePurpose Global’s belief that businesses can positively impact the environment and society, Lifezen has committed to Plastic Action. 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
We all know that, though plastic has become an integral part of day-to-day life, it poses a serious threat to health and life. Globally, it is accepted that sustainable development contributes to the economic development of a company and nation. The rePurpose Global team is helping directly and indirectly in minimising plastic pollution and is simultaneously concerned about the wellbeing of their labour group.
