OUR PLASTIC NEUTRAL PROMISE
REMOVING AS MUCH PLASTIC FROM NATURE AS USED IN OUR PRODUCTS
“In Canada alone, over 3.3 million tonnes of plastic end up in landfills each year and only about 9% of it gets recycled. There are no perfect solutions at the moment, but by making these commitments today, we are hoping to create meaningful actions, contributing to resolving a time-sensitive situation for our planet. That is why going Plastic Neutral with the help of rePurpose Global is the ideal solution to have an immediate impact to reduce plastic pollution.”
— Clara Cohen, Co-founder
HOW IT WORKS
-
CALCULATE
The first step in our journey was to understand where we were in order to inform future action. We established our current plastic footprint and committed to pledging a percentage of every product purchase towards the removal of nature-bound plastic waste.
-
FINANCE
We fund the elimination of as much plastic waste from nature as we produce through our collaboration with vetted rePurpose Impact Projects that are empowering waste workers on the frontline to tackle plastic waste in local communities.
-
REDUCE
Going Plastic Neutral is a continuous commitment. That’s why we are working with rePurpose Global to develop a roadmap for the future to reduce the use of virgin plastics in our products — and build a more circular business and delivery model.
TASTY AND NUTRITIOUS PRODUCTS FOR YOUR WELL-BEING AND THE PLANET’S.
IMPACT THAT UNITES THE WORLD
When we choose to take action on our plastic waste, we create meaningful impact in a world without borders. We fund waste management facilities and empower local communities in geographies without the necessary infrastructure to remove, recover, and recycle plastic waste that would have otherwise remained in the environment for centuries.
SUPERCHARGING SYSTEMIC IMPACT
First, we work with vetted and experienced circular economy and waste management ventures. Next, we fund programs that enable these ventures to scale up plastic waste avoidance, removal, recovery, and recycling efforts. Finally, through thorough due diligence, we ensure adherence to global environmental and labor standards.
It takes an army to fight the ongoing plastic waste crisis, and with rePurpose Global, we are able to create tangible environmental and socio-economic impact. We’re not only helping remove plastic waste from the environment, but we’re also enabling steady livelihoods for forgotten waste workers across the globe.

STEP 1: SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
At GoGo Quinoa, our mission has always been to offer our customers the highest quality product experience while creating a deep impact on society.

STEP 2: THE PLASTIC NEUTRAL SHIFT
Building on rePurpose Global’s belief that businesses can positively impact the environment and society, GoGo Quinoa has gone Plastic Neutral. Through our partnership, we are taking the first step to systemic environmental change — financing waste management infrastructure and empowering marginalized workers fighting the plastic waste crisis on the frontline.
STEP 3: THE FINAL DESTINATION
Our sustainability manifesto focuses on 3 aspects:
1. Sustainable Sourcing – including sustainable agriculture and the impact of its supply chain.
2. Waste Management – derived from its operations, supply chain and daily activities.
3. Preventing Food Loss and Waste – aiming to promote a circular economy, incorporating composting and upcycling practices.
