At First Mile - this is why we exist. To support brands in solving these problems, drive investment and opportunity into informal waste collection communities, and connect brands with the material supply they need - while ensuring human rights are respected at every level.

Informal waste collection networks - despite containing some of the best expertise around waste management in the world, can also often contain human rights issues - child labor, forced labor, predatory lending, making these sources “high risk” and therefor avoided.

“The used plastic bottles best known for clogging the world’s oceans are in surprisingly short supply as consumer brands compete to meet recycling targets.” - wsj.com/articles/empty… Let’s be clear. There’s no shortage of plastic waste in the world.

Informal waste collectors are responsible for 60% of global recycling. We imagine a world where they have safe working conditions, inclusion, & dignified livelihoods. @nxtwaveplastics has released a #socialresponsibility framework for Ocean Bound Plastics: bit.ly/2Xv9nQa

It's been a long week filled with emotions. After our local Haitian team touched down on the ground in Les Cayes, the epicenter of the Haiti earthquake, they have been able to locate more than 500 collectors and their family members and counting. ⁣ ⁣

Meal delivery in La Creole, Les Cayes 🇭🇹 This community in southern Haiti was impacted by the 7.2 earthquake nearly a week ago. Many houses have sustained damage—some families have since been staying outside. We brought fresh meals with our partners @doWorkorg & @FirstMileImpact.

@doWorkorg Nearly everyone we met with has seen their homes destroyed, so temporary shelter, treatment of injuries, and access to food/hot meals are priorities. dowork.org/donate - funds will drive the work on these efforts led by our Haitian team. #haitiearthquake

This afternoon we sent a team with @doWorkorg from Port-au-Prince to Les Cayes to manage earthquake response efforts. We are beyond proud to call these men and women our colleagues. Support their efforts here: dowork.org/donate #Haiti #earthquake #Haitiearthquake2021

Lots of people saying lots of stuff about where to donate, who to trust, who not to trust, to help the response to the Haitian earthquake. The comments conversation tends to turn into a discussion on who’s corrupt and who’s not, which is probably satisfying…
