One more step towards transparency and accountability 🔍 Since the beginning, we set the standards of our #Impact measurement quite high at Plastic Fischer GmbH. In 2021, we started tracking our collection with CleanHub's services to make sure, we could understand the performance of our collection sites in India and Indonesia from Germany. We then switched to the tracking-tool of Empower.eco and worked closely together with their team to tailor the software to the needs of a plastic collection and management company like Plastic Fischer. Now, I am very happy that we have taken the next step in accountability as our first two locations in #Kanpur and #Varanasi have been certified under Zero Plastic Oceans #OBP standard, audited by Control Union. This is one of two available, third-party verifications worldwide (besides Verra). Unfortunately, the Plastic (Credit) sector has something in common with the Carbon (Credit) industry: Not all projects are as good as they seem. Transparency is key and a third-party verification is one thing to look for to add an additional layer of security to the credibility of the organisation.

🌍On World Environment Day 2024, we had the privilege of hosting an interactive session with Rakesh Patil, Head of Application 2 at Allianz Technology, India. The discussion focused on critical topics such as land restoration, halting desertification, and building drought resilience, with Rakesh sharing invaluable insights and expertise on these pressing environmental challenges and emphasizing the importance of proactive measures to address them. His thoughtful contributions underscored the need for concerted efforts to safeguard our planet and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. 🍃 This session served as a powerful reminder of the pivotal role each of us plays in environmental conservation and sustainability. It also highlighted Allianz Technology's commitment to fostering meaningful discussions and initiatives that contribute to a greener, more resilient world.

Releasing Episode 6 of our "Cleaning Kanpur Series" - The Impact of 1 Euro. Yes, we collect hashtag #RiverPlastic and prevent it from entering the oceans where it would destroys marine ecosystems.

Every piece of plastic we remove is a step closer to cleaner, healthier waterways for everyone. We’re super excited to show progress of our weekly collection stats in partnership with UNDP Pacific Office in Fiji. This trash boom prototype was launched on the week of Earth Day 2024 (Planet Vs Plastics) together with Nasinu Town Council Chair Mr Felix Magnus and representatives from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Mere Komailevuka Bainimarama. Given the timeline for us to deliver this project, we had to manufacture locally and I’m grateful to the ideas exchange and support from the team at Plastic Fischer GmbH especially Aviel Itzhak and Harish Shenoy. Under the MOU with Nasinu Town Council, we’re now pushing this system to 5 more problematic rivers that is massively leaking plastics pollution to the Rewa Seascape. This achievement isn't just a number; it's a testament to what we can accomplish together. 🌎 💪🏽 #plasticpollutionawareness

Social and environmental impact in one picture: Employees of Plastic Fischer GmbH empty the #TrashBoom system that prevents #RiverPlastic from flowing downstream into the Ganges and the Bay of Bengal. The operations do not only clean rivers from harmful material but also create full-time jobs for local people who usually won’t have the chance of formal employment with regular working hours and fair pay. This initiative holds significant importance to Becker on a global scale. We are committed to sustaining our devotion to the #CleanRivers mission and the imperative goal to #SaveOceans. Together, let's forge a lasting impact! 💙🌊 A special thanks to Karsten Hirsch and his team for their dedication to this wonderful task. Your efforts are truly appreciated.

Impact startups, like Plastic Fischer GmbH, which, with their wonderful team around Karsten Hirsch, clean up the rivers in India and Indonesia from plastic and thus also protect the oceans, need ecosystems, platforms, and #awards. Especially in the beginning. And the team has been able to successfully utilize several of these in the past: from berg-pitch to Circular Valley, the Top Innovator status from UpLink - World Economic Forum , the James Dyson Award and most recently, the Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitspreis. Therefore, to all founders: use these platforms - it's worth it! And to everyone involved in sustainability on the corporate side: reach out to Karsten, because real impact is being generated here.

Another +11 tons of #RiverPlastic not entering the #ocean in #Mangalore 🇮🇳 The amazing team around Arjun Nayak works hard to keep the #rivers and beaches clean. It is always impressive to see these pictures that illustrate the #impact best. The entire operations in Mangalore are financed by Covestro 🙏 Thanks to them, we could already stop and manage more than 75 tons of #plastic, 16 tons of #glass and create 15 full-time #jobs for local people.
