“Our customers care about impact. Partnering with rePurpose Global allows us to confidently guide our packaging customers to a sustainability strategy that is verifiable, scalable, and affordable,” said Mike Forenza, Managing Partner at AE Global. “As a third-party user of rePurpose Global’s services for two years, we’ve seen the impressive work they do first-hand. Now as RePurpose Global’s official packaging partner, we’re eager to get more businesses involved in the winnable fight against the plastic in our waterways and oceans.”
With this partnership, AE Global can offer customers packaging solutions that are certified Plastic Negative or Plastic Neutral—attracting earth-conscious consumers and increasing profitability by building brand trust. When a packaging solution is deemed Plastic Neutral it signifies that rePurpose Global will remove an equal amount of plastic from the environment as was used in that package. A Plastic Negative certification indicates that more than double the amount of plastic used to make a packaging solution is being removed from nature.
Prior to the official partnership, rePurpose has recovered 383,932 pounds of ocean-bound plastic funded by AE Global. This impact is equivalent to removing 9.6 million plastic bottles from the environment.
