UPstream Recycling Project
Transforming the problem of plastic waste in developing regions from an environmental issue into an economic opportunity.
UPstream Recycling Project
At Orange Pearl Innovation Group it is our purpose to create products that make the world a better place. In line with this purpose we have created innovative technology that allows entrepreneurs in upcoming economies to create value out of waste. By doing this, we empower locals to start business that are economically successful whilst having a great positive effect on our world; just like we do at Orange Pearl!
Our purpose
Making the world a better place through innovative products.
Vision
The world is consuming plastic at an increasing rate, resulting in growing environmental and social issues associated with plastic waste. Many developing regions of the world lack the infrastructure and advanced technology needed for conventional plastic recycling. We work towards a world in which locals have the opportunity to process plastic waste on a hyper-local scale to create valuable products.
Mission
Our mission is to transform the problem of plastic waste in developing regions from an environmental issue into an economic opportunity. We do this by providing local organizations with the tools and knowledge to spread low-tech recycling innovations amongst the local population. We call this project UPstream and it is one of the project through which we Flourish.
The Grow and Flourish Foundation
The independent Grow and Flourish Foundation manages the UPstream project. Find out more about this project on the website of the Grow and Flourish Foundation.
It can benefit everyone
We believe the principles of Grow and Flourish can benefit any company. And by applying these principles, companies become more successful by giving back to society. That is why we have founded the Grow and Flourish Foundation to spread the Grow and Flourish principles and to help companies to benefit from these principles.
We know that sustainable growth is possible when you create the right conditions to grow and flourish. We promise that every company can find this extra dimension!
