Dow Reducing Waste in Latin American & Asian Countries

How?  Focusing on training and education, Dow will turn plastic waste into an income source with recycling value chains. The final phase will create a model that can be scaled for other countries.

Example: Dow selected 5 cooperatives to support in Brazil, identified the most impactful interventions, and developed specific work plans for each.

Results: The collaboration aims to increase waste picker’s income from the equivalent of $169 to $480.
