Picking up money - that鈥檚 what Haitian鈥檚 nicknamed a movement seeking to solve Haiti鈥檚 plastic waste problem and reduce poverty at the same time. It was started by a man who saw a glimmer of hope in the devastation wrought by the 2010 earthquake: plastic bottles were clogging the beaches and filling the oceans with rubbish. But what if you could clear up the trash, give Haitians employment, and reduce the reliance on 鈥渧irgin鈥� plastic, all at the same time?

It鈥檚 a bold idea that aims to solve two of the World鈥檚 big problems 鈥� poverty and plastic in the ocean. And it all hinges on attaching social value to recycled plastic. So why aren鈥檛 more companies doing it?
