River Recycle
Philippines & Indonesia
River-based plastic interception and recycling, turning waste pulled from waterways like the Pasig River into reusable material and local jobs.
Announced 24 August 2026
Most ocean plastic arrives by river. River Recycle intercepts it upstream and then does the harder second half — processing what it catches into material with a buyer, so the operation pays for itself and employs the community doing the work.
