11. Waste - A Reality
• Amount of waste increases exponentially. Problems posed by waste
are multiple and increase the vulnerability of the population.
• A quarter of all global deaths of children under five are due to
polluted environments. Leads to fatal cases of diarrhea, malaria and
pneumonia.
• « Investing in the removal of environmental risks to health, such as
improving water quality or using cleaner fuels, will result in massive
health benefits » (Margaret Chan – WHO Director General).
13. • The basis of a "Zero Waste" economy exists and we
have seen it!
• Waste should no longer be seen as an inevitable cost, but
as a resource to be exploited by industry, agriculture and
households.
• "There is no waste on this planet, only misplaced
resources" (Dr. Somthai)

20. ReBin – Why Impact Matters?
On September 25, 2015, 193 world leaders committed to 17 global goals to
achieve three major accomplishments over the next 15 years.
Ending extreme poverty
Fight against inequality and injustice
Addressing climate change
A cost of USD 4'000 billion / year > US budget in 2016
22. “By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for
all people everywhere, currently
measured as people living on less than
$1.90 a day »
How ReBin contributes:
1. Pay 100 households for their waste
2. Create around 20 jobs (plant,
franchisees, collectors, market)
3. Engage local entrepreneurs
(building, collection, selling,
manufacturing activities).

Notas do Editor
My background is Investing with a particular interest for Impact Investing which combines financial returns with doing good
I decided to join Mark because this project is a great example of what impact investing can do
Let me explain to you in a bit more detail
First impact from the private sector matters because today the financing need to address global social and environmental issues are huge and it is clear that the public sector alone will not be able to foot the bill … best illustration is through SDGs that covers both social and environmental issues
11 SDGs more or less balanced between environmental and social issues
The international poverty line is currently defined at $1.90 or below per person per day using 2011 United States dollars purchasing power parity (ppp).
Between 1990 and 2013 the number of extremely poor people has been cut from 1.85bn to 800m.
However, the decline largely stemmed from the economic boom in Asia and unfortunately, the number of extremely poor in sub-saharan Africa has hardly moved and today represent roughly half the world’s total. According to World Bank, the vast majority of these poor people live in rural areas with little education mostly in agricultural sector
To eradicate extreme poverty by 2030 will therefore take more than the economic growth rates of the past 10 years…
WEF 2013: “Most of Africa’s poorest people live on small farms in rural areas, so those places will likely form the final frontier of the global quest to end extreme poverty”

Small cost to create 20 sustainable jobs, improved household income and reduced health hazards through a better environment
Cotonou: soon 1M people 700t/day we want to do 100t/day
