Today I bring to you my conversation with Kamal Raj - Director of Impact Projects at rePurpose Global.

rePurpose Global is the World's First Plastic Credit Platform dedicated to making planetary action simple for purposeful people and companies of any size, anywhere. Their one-stop solution empowers anybody to go Plastic Neutral by financing innovators on the frontlines who are relentlessly fighting for our planet’s future.

You’ll be fascinated to know that majority of plastic waste especially multi-layered plastic (MLP) — including chips packets, chocolate wrappers, and more — never makes it to recycling. Instead, all that waste ends up in landfill remaining there for centuries.

The sad truth is, the infrastructure needed to tackle this problem is underfunded, and requires an urgent push. That’s where rePurpose Global is breaking barriers, and channelling resources towards important innovations.

Our guest Kamal Raj is no less than an avenger when it comes to implementing solutions around plastic waste problems. After completing his degree in biotechnology, he got exposed to the world of waste management through his work with Daily Dump and soon figured out synergies to leverage his knowledge of biotechnology to find solutions around plastic waste.

He then moved on to lead the Solid Waste Management program as part of Infosys’s Green Initiatives team and is recognized for achieving self-reliance in SWM at Infosys, where annually 10 million kilograms of MSW is managed through 24 automated technologies.

After his decade long stint with providing solutions for waste management in India, today he continues to create that impact on a global level by leading projects at repurpose global.
