Umbrellas on a mission

“I believe we have a responsibility to leave the world in a better place than we found it. The plastic crisis is one of the missions we’re committed to. With each Dripdrop umbrella rental, we are funding plastic waste recovery efforts, aiming to make the world slightly better, every time it rains.”
- Andreas, CEO & Founder of Dripdrop
Project overview
Each umbrella removes 4.5× more plastic from the environment than it contains.
Impact projects located in West Java and Bali.
116 waste workers supported through our project funding.
Transparent and traceable recovery projects, fully third-party verified and audited.
Collected plastic is recycled into new products.

See what we saw and why it matters

Our CEO, Andreas, and Head of Customer Success, Anne, traveled over 11,000 kilometers from Denmark to Bandung, Indonesia, to visit our sustainability site in partnership with rePurpose Global. They witnessed firsthand how your support is transforming plastic waste into lasting impact and now, they’re sharing what they learned through our short film below.

In the next 45 minutes, 34 million kg of plastic will be generated

Only 9% of the world’s plastic is ever recycled. The rest leaks into nature, fills landfills, and ends up in our oceans.
Indonesia is the world’s second largest contributor to ocean plastic, and only a fraction of its nearly 11 million tonnes of plastic waste is properly managed each year.
The entire system is held up by 3.7 million informal waste pickers who work long hours in unsafe conditions, often without protection or fair pay.

A look inside
the mission

Why
Indonesia?

Across much of the Global South, waste builds up faster than it can be managed, and rivers push plastic straight into the ocean. Indonesia sits on this frontline. That’s why our impact focuses on two sister projects in West Java and Bali, supporting the communities who shoulder a crisis they didn’t create.

Problematic
Plastics

rePurpose Global targets plastics that are degraded, overlooked, and worthless to the local market. By assigning value to these otherwise disregarded materials, they make it economically viable for local collectors to recover plastic that would never have been picked up.

Empowering Locals

rePurpose Global knows no one understands the reality better than the people living it. That’s why they partner with local organizations: by professionalizing, upskilling, and supporting their teams, we help create real opportunities for local workers to grow and lead impact from within their own communities.

rePurpose Global’s projects are independently audited and fully traceable, ensuring the impact is real and verified. They monitor each stage of the process so we can clearly see how much plastic is collected, where it goes, and what’s kept out of nature. It’s transparent, rigorous, and trustworthy.
