Oceanworks®
Oceanworks is a Los Angeles-based B2B platform that makes it easy for brands to buy verified recycled ocean and ocean-bound plastic and to fund the cleanup of plastic that has no resale value. It runs a global marketplace connecting collectors and recyclers with major consumer brands, backs every transaction with its Oceanworks Guaranteed traceability system, and sells IMPAC+ plastic offsets that work like carbon credits for plastic waste. The idea is simple: turn corporate demand into a paycheck for the people pulling plastic out of coastlines before it reaches the sea.
rePurpose Global
rePurpose Global is a packaging sustainability and compliance platform that helps consumer brands measure their plastic footprint, automate Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) reporting across dozens of regulations, and fund verified plastic recovery projects to make credible 'Plastic Neutral' claims. Born from a Wharton student project and a visit to one of Asia's largest landfills, the company channels brand dollars into waste collection infrastructure in the Global South while dignifying the work of informal waste pickers.
