Our field trip in Nicaragua came to an end 🇳🇮
We’re leaving very inspired by a team that shows up every day with energy and commitment in what they’re building.😍
The processes are strong and the system runs. There’s also big momentum ahead. We’re working on solar panels and a generator to make operations even more stable, and we’re building a larger recycling facility to scale what’s already working.
Step by step, this is growing into something bigger.🙏🏽

Want impact that lasts? Build locally owned systems.
That’s what we do at Buy Food with Plastic, together with communities on the ground.
Support community-led solutions. Link in bio. ♻️🍽️
Plastic pollution is a daily reality in Ghana. Around 840,000 tonnes of plastic waste are generated each year and far too much of it is still mismanaged and dumped.
At Buy Food with Plastic, we turn plastic into a resource: people can pay for warm meals by collecting bottles, while local teams build the routines and infrastructure that keep plastic out of nature long-term. ♻️🍽️
If you want impact that lasts, support community-led solutions. Link in bio.

We’re making a documentary! 😱
Together with filmdirector Dominic Marti, we’re creating Stories of Change, a documentary about the people behind Buy Food with Plastic.
The film will feature three episodes, filmed in Ghana, Nicaragua and India.
Our ambition is high: We aim to create a cinematic, internationally relevant documentary series, with the goal of showcasing it on platforms like Netflix and at renowned festivals such as the Zurich Film Festival.🎥
The first episode has already been filmed in Ghana, and what you see here is the first trailer!🙏🏽
For us, this project is something truly special. It allows us to go deeper, and tell you the stories from the ground in a new way.

Buy Food with Plastic has oficially rebranded:)
About 3 weeks ago we held our first ever Rebranding Event🎉
It was a night full of collaboration, creativity and laughter, where everyone could create their own Buy Food with Plastic-merch in the way they wanted to.
A night that will be remembered through the guests’ wardrobe for many years to come…
Thanks to everyone that made this event possible, especially our shirt- and screenprintprovider @labwearstudios 🫶🏼
And to those who missed it, stay tuned! We still have unique hand-printed shirts left in our gallery:)
With CHF 250, you can fund a Collection Point at a school and prevent plastic bottles from ending up in nature.
Your Christmas donation turns waste into a resource and helps build local circular economies where they are needed most. 🌍♥️
👉 Donate a Collection Point this Christmas.

We love plastic💚
No really, hear us out!
Sure we hate what plastic does to our planet, but we love flipping the script.
Where Buy Food with Plastic is active, people no longer dump plastic waste into nature, because it has value!
Plastic bottles become meals, trash becomes opportunity.♻
We’re not just tackling waste, we’re reducing plastic, creating jobs, feeding families and building stronger communities.
We don’t believe in cleanups, we believe in a new economy, where waste and poverty disappear.
Ready to turn waste into opportunities?

🇮🇳Im November reisen wir gemeinsam nach Mumbai – und es gibt noch 3 freie Plätze.
Mit dabei sind unsere Mitgründer @khalilradi_ & @annagracia3, sowie @verolehmann und @murielleolivia .
Seit über fünf Jahren arbeiten wir Seite an Seite mit den Menschen in den Slums von Mumbai. Viele aus unserem lokalen Team kommen selbst von dort und öffnen uns Türen, die sonst verschlossen bleiben.
Diese Expedition ist keine gewöhnliche Indien-Reise. Sie ist ein Eintauchen in das echte Leben der Stadt: in ihre Schönheit, ihre Widersprüche und die Geschichten der Menschen, die Veränderung möglich machen.
👉 Von 14 Plätzen sind noch 3 frei. Ist das was für dich?

Knowledge is Power 💪
– at least with the availability of the right tools. With local teachers, we help future generations to understand the long-term consequences of plastic pollution as well as how they can actively reduce their own plastic waste in nature through plastic collection points near schools.
Future plastic-warriors are already rising.👷♀️📈

BFWP-Truck on the road 🛻💨 #truck
Over 10’000 Kg – was collected by our truck in 2024, while supporting 566 families.
How incredible is that?
We increased our impact on many people, creating new opportunities for communities and nature. At the same time our pick-up service is getting more and more attention.

No plastic bins = plastic pollution 😞 #sustainability #environmentalpollution
Where would you dispose of your plastic waste without waste management? 🤔
That’s the reality for our communities in Nicaragua, India and Ghana. They have little to no access to bins and waste management to dispose of their plastic trash responsibly, so they have no other options than to burn it or bury it in nature.
This must change!
Which is why Buy Food with Plastic implemented plastic collection points in schools, villages and public spaces and is now developing a pick-up service for plastic in all three countries. 🚛🚯

We established the first recycling service in Nicaragua around the region of Tola, south of the capital. ♻️💪🏽
Our driver, Christian, drives a route of 262 km to pick up plastic waste from households as well as businesses.😯

29,000 plastic lids are 29,000 thoughts for the environment 🤯An overwhelming amount, isn't it? Families and individuals have collected so much in the last few months. Each plastic lid was deliberately separated from the plastic bottle by the people to throw it into our collection containers. 💚THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who took part in the campaign.💚 We are delighted to announce that the Utz Group enthusiastically followed our collaboration and bought the plastic lids from us at a generous price😊💕Our co-founders, Khalil Radi and Anna Gracia Herbst, personally brought the lids to the Utz Group, which processes the plastic lids into plastic containers at its recycling site in Switzerland. 💚A big thank you to the Utz Group for their commitment.💚 #business #businesspartner #businesspartners #businesspartnership #BusinessPartnership #businesspartner #businesspartnerships #colab #colaboration #recycling #recycling #recyclingbusiness #recyclingindustry #recyclingsolutions
