Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Trashcoin empowers underrepresented groups in the climate movement by providing accessible waste management and recycling solutions that create economic opportunities for marginalized communities. We actively engage youth and climate-vulnerable communities, particularly in urban and rural areas where waste management systems are underdeveloped. Through our platform, individuals are incentivized to recycle, offering them financial rewards and contributing to environmental sustainability.

We actively fosters gender equality by providing equal opportunities for women in the waste management and recycling sector. We partner with local organizations that support women’s empowerment and offer training programs in recycling and environmental entrepreneurship, creating leadership roles for women in our operations.

In our organization, we prioritize diverse representation across all levels. Trashcoin’s leadership includes individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds, ensuring that perspectives from diverse communities are embedded in our mission. Our team consists of passionate individuals from varied backgrounds, including young professionals who bring fresh, innovative ideas to the table, and women who play key roles in our day-to-day operations. By empowering these groups, Trashcoin is driving both social and environmental change, creating sustainable livelihoods and fostering leadership within communities traditionally excluded from the climate action conversation.
