About this episode

Svanika Balasubramanian discusses the impact of plastic credits and EPR compliance on waste workers in India and their journey towards financial stability.

Svanika Balasubramanian, Co-Founder and CEO of rePurpose Global, joins Garr and Sabira for a deep dive into the economics of plastic credits, the real-world impact of EPR legislation hitting U.S. companies, and how rePurpose evolved from a plastic credit pioneer into a three-vertical platform covering software compliance, downstream supply chain operations, and PCR feedstock. The conversation gets personal when Svanika shares what gives her hope: women in Kerala, India, gaining formal employment, bank accounts, and eventually mortgages through rePurpose's waste collection programs.
