We're looking for projects that help solve the waste crisis!

Now on its third year, Reimagine Recycling (RR3) takes on a different format by seeking solutions to support. It aims to advance existing projects addressing issues in waste segregation, recycling/upcycling, improving the welfare of the informal waste sector, and mainstreaming gender in waste management.

Successful applicants to RR3 will attend a series of virtual workshops and mentorship sessions. They will also get a chance to receive up to PhP500,000.00 to grow their projects.

How many initiatives will be selected for Reimagine Recycling?

Answer

Up to 10 projects will be selected for the RR Workshops. Three projects will receive PhP500,000 each for project funding.

Question 2

Is there an age limit for the applilcants?

Answer

The two representatives of the projects need to be at least 18 years old, but there's no maximum age limit.

Can we apply even if we're not affiliated to an organization?

If I get accepted, do I need to pay for anything?

Answer

No. The application process, workshops, and mentorship program are all free.

We ask that you do not apply unless you are certain you are able to attend the required sessions. There must be at least two representatives from your project who can attend the workshops and mentorship sessions.

We understand that these are uncertain times and that situations change quickly, so in case there are factors out of our control, we can discuss this privately. In the case of an emergency or unforeseeable circumstances that preclude your participation, please notify us as soon as possible.
