Tikitoro is dedicated to creating a positive impact on the planet and society through our commitment to sustainability. We empower parents with confidence in the personal care and well-being of their children, and we aspire to gift children a healthier, greener planet. We believe that every child deserves to grow up in a safe and healthy environment, and we are committed to making that a reality.
Plastic pollution is a global challenge, and Tikitoro has taken a bold step to give back to the Earth. We are recovering an equivalent amount of plastic to what we use. This allows us to also mitigate its effects on the environmental, social and economic fronts of the plastic waste industry.
How are we doing this?
With the support of Recircle’s Plastic Neutral Program, waste is being diverted from landfills & oceans. We also support the livelihoods of informal waste workers by buying low-valued, non-recyclable plastic from them.
Though Tikitoro uses HDPE bottles, which get removed from the regular litter without much effort due to its high value plastic, they do not end up in landfills; we at Tikitoro still yearn to remove the low value multi-layered for a sustainable tomorrow
Rest assured, with every order, we are recovering its equal weight and more. Put simply, for each of our products (which weighs 15 grams), we are recovering equal to the weight of 20 shampoo sachets.
Our packaging comes under HDPE which is considered a high value plastic (which never goes into the Landfill) packaging which is always recycled
LOW VALUED MULTI LAYERED PLASTIC which is never Recycled
What is the process?
Step One
Collection: Low-value, multi-layered packaging (MLP) plastic waste is collected from informal waste workers, landfills and dumping grounds, and waste generators like households, offices and institutions.
Step two
Pre-processing: This collected plastic is brought to a segregation facility to further sort and cleaned if need be. Then, it is pre-processed by baling or shredding.
Step Three
Processing: The pre-processed plastic waste is dispatched for final processing to relevant processors. It is used as raw material for conversion to energy, road-making or other alternative applications like recycling.
Certification: At Tikitoro, we value transparency. So our certification will be accompanied by traceability documents, which will be shared on our platform along with ReCircle and anyone can reach out to us to see the documents.
What can you do to make an Impact?
Waste will always be waste if we treat it so, but if we give it a deeper thought it is a ‘Resource’.. Make your waste matter in the following steps :
- Collect all your recyclables (paper, plastic, metal, glass).
- Sign up with ReCircle like we did at ReCircle - Recover, Recycle, Rethink
- Find the drop-off point closest to you.
- And Voila ! Recycle!
