Max Craipeau with SEArcular waste pickers

SEArcular is transforming ocean-bound plastic into opportunity empowering coastal communities through training and incentives. 

Their network mobilizes waste pickers to collect plastics from beaches waterways and public spaces not just cleaning up but creating value from waste and driving a greener future.

They aim to reduce ocean plastic and promote a circular economy by efficiently recycling a variety of plastics including PET, PP, PS, PE and Code #7 plastics, a category often overlooked due to its complexity.

Greencore is placing a special focus on the recycling of Code #7 plastics focusing on turning this hard-to-recycle material into a valuable resource.  

 Founded by Max Craipeau, elected Asia’s #1st most innovative plastic recycler in 2022, Greencore was the first recycler in Indonesia to be certified (ZPO) Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP).

With Max CRAIPEAU serving as a Chairman of the BIR—the world’s largest recycling association—Greencore distinguishes itself with the industry’s broadest selection of OBP certified resins. SEArcular excels in processing hundreds of tons of plastic each month providing significant support to coastal communities.
