Our commitment to a sustainable future.
Creating eco-friendly products while protecting our planet.
At Rise, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that every product we create should not only improve your life but also contribute positively to the world around us. From the materials we choose to the causes we support, we are dedicated to making a lasting impact on our planet.
Eco-Friendly Innovations.
We are proud to design products that prioritize both functionality and sustainability. Our products, like the Up and Wake, are crafted using eco-friendly materials such as 100% biodegradable PLA. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint, ensuring that our products are not only innovative but also environmentally responsible.
Partnering with Plastic Bank to fight ocean pollution.
Plastic pollution is one of the greatest threats to our oceans and marine life. To combat this, Rise has partnered with Plastic Bank through GreenSpark, an initiative that builds ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal communities while simultaneously creating positive economic opportunities for those who help collect it.
Stopping the Flow of Plastic Waste into Our Oceans
Currently, more than half of the plastic produced is designed for single use, and less than 9% is recycled. This results in over 5 trillion pieces of plastic littering our oceans. Plastic Bank is working to stop this by promoting a circular economy where plastic waste is monetized and turned into Social Plastic®—a material that can be reintegrated into products and packaging.
Empowering Local Communities
Plastic Bank not only prevents ocean-bound plastics from reaching our waterways but also creates a valuable currency for local communities. The plastic collected is sorted, weighed, and exchanged for digital tokens, which can be redeemed for essentials like groceries, school tuition, and health insurance. Through this initiative, over 5,000 people in countries like Haiti, Brazil, the Philippines, and Indonesia have earned a fair, sustainable income by collecting plastic waste.
Blockchain for Transparency and Traceability
Using cutting-edge blockchain technology developed by IBM, Plastic Bank ensures full transparency and traceability across the entire value chain. This technology transforms plastic waste into digital tokens, allowing for secure transactions and real-time data visualization.
Global Recognition and Impact
Plastic Bank's efforts have been recognized globally, including endorsements from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the UN's 'Momentum for Change' Climate Solutions Award. Their work directly contributes to 14 of the 17 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
What is our role in this initiative?
When you purchase the Wake Up Kit, you’re not just investing in a better morning routine—you’re directly contributing to a cleaner planet. For every order placed on our website, 25 plastic bottles are collected and responsibly recycled, preventing them from polluting our oceans. This way, each purchase, whether it’s the Wake, Up, battery pack, or accessories, plays its part in this mission, contributing to the removal and recycling of ocean-bound plastics. Together, we can create a healthier environment, one product at a time.
