Delterra is an environmental nonprofit on a mission to create a world where human activities protect and restore a healthy planet. Delterra’s founding partner is McKinsey & Company, and its flagship initiative, Rethinking Recycling, works with communities in emerging economies to build rapidly scalable, self-sustaining waste management and recycling ecosystems, that redirect waste into productive use while improving the lives of the people it touches. Rethinking Recycling is on track to bring recycling and waste management services to over 250,000 people in Indonesia and Argentina by 2022, most of whom had no access to recycling solutions before. Its programs have achieved recycling rates of up to 60%, which is higher than those of most US cities. To date, it has improved the livelihoods of more than 450 waste workers, many of whom are marginalized women. In the coming years, Delterra’s goal is to scale Rethinking Recycling to countries across Asia, Latin America and Africa, and add other programs to its portfolio with a view to develop innovative scalable solutions that redesign human systems for the good of people and the planet.
