1 Plastic Life is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing plastic pollution in low-income communities while improving the lives of local homeless populations. They recycle plastic locally, using their own DIY plastic recycling machines to create new, useful, and durable products. Through job training programs, they engage with homeless individuals, providing them with resources and support to secure housing, employment, and needed assistance.
As a Certified Community Service Recycling Program with CalRecycle, 1 Plastic Life accepts CRV recyclables and clean, sorted HDPE #2 and PP #5 plastics. They also collaborate with partner organizations to address common issues faced by homeless individuals, such as drug abuse, mental health, transitional housing, and job placement. With a focus on measurable impact, their goal is to help hundreds of homeless individuals find permanent housing and employment over the next 5-10 years.
