Social enterprises
& Green companies

we like


​Have you looked into the sustainability of your energy provider? Or the ehtics of your search engine? 
Have you heard about social enterprising? 

Social enterprises are revenue-generating businesses with a twist. Whether operated by a non-profit organisation or by a for-profit company, a social enterprise has two goals: to achieve social, cultural, community economic and/or environmental outcomes; and, to earn revenue.

All though Sobo Wastebusters is a volunteer and not for profit organisation, we have a few companies that we believe in, and feel we should tell you about. These companies use their profit to benefit of our future, and the future of our planet.

Carbon offset your flights

Carbon offsetting is a way to reduce the emissions that you can’t. It both helps to combat global climate change as well as caring for local communities. In many instances providing much needed employment, health improvement, biodiversity and broad social benefits to impoverished communities.

Refill scheme

Picture
Refill is an award-winning campaign to prevent plastic pollution at source by making it easier to reuse and refill your water bottle on the go than buy a single-use disposable plastic bottle. Download the app to refill your bottle or sign up as a business to offer refills.
