Our sustainability commitment at No. 49 Handbags
Why we act on plastic
More than 2 billion people worldwide dispose of their trash in nature because there are no waste collection services.
Through our partnership with CleanHub, we fund waste collection in coastal communities where services were previously unavailable or not affordable.
This year we're supporting these sustainability projects
Through CleanHub, we fund projects that collect plastic waste - either directly from nature, at community collection points or directly from local households. The plastic is then sorted and any material that can be recycled is reused. Plastic that cannot be recycled is used as an alternative fuel in cement production, replacing coal and gas. This prevents the plastic from entering the environment again.
