From Crisis to Solution
"What if recycling actually felt rewarding?"
Mint Rewards was born from this simple question.
The Story Begins Somewhere Harder
In cities across Pakistan and the Global South, thousands of homeless children and informal waste pickers survive by collecting garbage from streets and landfills. Our founder witnessed this reality firsthand—children working in unsafe conditions, recyclable materials losing value, and communities drowning in unmanaged waste.
Meanwhile, Pakistan faces a waste crisis that worsens each year. Most recyclable material ends up in landfills, waterways, or streets—not because people don't care, but because recycling systems are fragmented, informal, and inaccessible to everyday households.
The informal sector works tirelessly but remains invisible, unprotected, and undervalued. Households want to recycle but lack convenient options. Brands commit to sustainability but struggle to drive real behavior change.
Mint Rewards was created to bridge these gaps.
Our Vision
We set out to formalize recycling, make it accessible to every household, reward positive behavior, and create dignified opportunities for waste workers—all while keeping valuable materials out of landfills.
