About us
Who we are
Unwaste.io is a UK based social enterprise using data to create a circular economy for plastic. Our cloud platform, wastebase.org, collects data about single-use plastic waste found in the environment. We encourage individuals, communities and NGOs to use our free Wastebase app to collect evidence about the plastic waste they find in their area. We want producers to take responsibility for where their waste ends up. Our data can help them do that.
Our culture and values
We believe that emerging digital technologies can support better, cheaper and more efficient plastic waste management. Our approach is based on these fundamental principles:
- we are all responsbile for plastic waste
- solutions must be economically viable
- we must reduce the volume of land-based plastic that enters our oceans
- solutions must be based on accurate, specific and structured data
We are a global team working remotely in Scotland, England and Mozambique, with partners in several countries in Africa and other parts of the world. This reflects our belief that plastic waste is a global problem that requires global solutions.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We are a small team and make every effort to recruit diverse voices and perspectives.
The majority of our roles are open to applicants from any country in the world and we encourage applications from people in the countries most affected by plastic waste.
We also encourage applications from disabled candidates and from people with 'non-linear' career paths.
