How it works –

1. One bag of litter (plastic, paper, tin, glass) = 1 token
2. The materials make their way back to retailers or recycling plants.
3. Retailers then stock token shops so the consumers and L4T communities can purchase more goods to survive = circular economy and a win-win for all – the retailers, consumers and the environment!
4. Each token shop costs R8 000p/m ($400) OR 1600 bags at R5 a bag
5. 1600 people employed across 7 communities (Kwadukuza, Ethekweni, Mpumalanga, Estcourt, Richards Bay, PE and East London).
6. Participants see a value in the litter and don’t dump it in the rivers.
