Budget Allocation
The funding has been strategically allocated to support various activities and initiatives aligned with our mission. The key areas of expenditure are as follows:
The birth of Re:Plast full circle recycling center idea and understanding the potential of web3 grants that will allow us to collect funds for this project. Re:Plast announcement
Re:Plast Koh Phangan is a pioneering recycling initiative aimed at revolutionizing the management of plastic waste on the island. By converting plastic waste into valuable, sustainable products, this project significantly contributes to environmental conservation and community welfare. A significant portion of our funding has been saved for the Re:Plast initiative. In addition, we are leveraging these savings by engaging in lending activities to earn yield, ensuring a sustainable financial strategy that supports ongoing and future projects. Re:Plast is now at the research and preparation stage, working through the best options for the land and the team implementing. Re:Plast status update
Event Organization: A portion of the funds is allocated to organizing onboarding events, e.g., Anniversary meetup and future Regen Full Moon onboarding events that we plan to bring back with the beginning of tourist season. Anniversary meetup
Cleanups and Environmental Initiatives: Back in February, we were already doing weekly decentralized cleanups in collaboration with GreenPill Phangan, and part of the funds were used for purchasing cleanup equipment, renting a truck to deliver trash to the recycling center. Additionally, we have ordered awesome T-shirts to spread awareness about our project during cleanups.
