Mobile Accessory Brand Teams up With Repurpose Global to Announce Certification as World's First Plastic Neutral Mobile Accessory Brand

MIAMI, Aug. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CLCKR, the mobile accessory brand, is now certified Plastic Neutral. The company has partnered with rePurpose Global – the world's leading Plastic Action Platform – to fund the recovery of nature-bound plastic waste as utilized across CLCKR products and packaging.

With the partnership, CLCKR is removing as much plastic as it uses by supporting waste management systems in areas of high pollution. The company is also supporting rePurpose Global's impact plan, Project Hara Kal in India, to develop and sustain a waste management system through plastic credit financing.

CLCKR's goal for 2023 is to offset 21 tons of plastic -- the equivalent of 1.1 million plastic bottles. With sustainability as a major priority for the mobile phone accessory brand, CLCKR recognizes the serious threat that plastic pollution poses to the future of our planet. Certifying products as Plastic Neutral forms part of their strategy to help recover plastic waste from the environment.

"Environmental protection is at the core of CLCKR. It is heartening to see them push the boundaries on tackling the plastic waste problem. We hope their commitment encourages more brands to take responsibility for the plastic that they are generating," said Aditya Siroya, Co-founder and Chief Impact Officer of rePurpose Global.

By having products certified Plastic Neutral, CLCKR is not only helping to tackle the plastic waste crisis, but also supporting waste workers' incomes by attaching value to hard-to-recycle plastics and providing safe, stable and fairly paid employment opportunities through local waste management enterprises.

"We have seen the devastating amount of waste generated every day by our industry, so to us, the urgency of this crisis was impossible to ignore. Our planet needs us and CLCKR is making efforts to take urgent action," said Tim Smart, president of STRAX US, distributor of subsidiary CLCKR. "We are committed to taking further internal action to reduce plastic in our supply chain, embodying our genuine dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship."
