Haven Recycle is a social enterprise that reuses or recycles discarded electronic items in a sustainable way and in the process provides stable and inclusive employment for disabled people within Glasgow. They have been established for around 10 years and are a division of Rehab Enterprises, Ireland's largest employer of people with disabilities and disadvantages. They are a "supported" business, which means they receive funding and grants from the Scottish government in return for giving fruitful employment and development to disabled adults. Haven Recycle serves both corporate customers and public bodies, which are looking for environmentally friendly options to dispose of un-required electronic and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) devices. They offer services such as secure data destruction, reuse and recycle through asset recovery, and resale to both corporate and private customers.
WEEE recycling is a service whereby Haven will reuse or recycle anything with a plug or a battery, including monitors, computers, white goods, and mobile phones. Anything that cannot be reused is broken down into components and passed to selected downstream suppliers who share their commitment to zero landfill.
However, their main focus is on the asset recovery service they provide. According to Sharon Martin, their ethos is:
“that reusing is preferable to recycling and recycling is preferable to scrapping to landfill."
Through asset recovery, equipment can be refurbished for reuse, resale, or used as charitable donations. They can also be dismantled with internal components then being reclaimed for use elsewhere by being re-marketed to proven suppliers with similar ethical contracts.
The three organizations have formed a hybrid organization, each one pursuing different objectives, but working together they have managed to save one of the endangered ecosystems of Mexico.

Also, they are strongly involved in social governmental and private projects to equip new schools for the less fortunate (GOAL 4: QUALITY EDUCATION).

The PIPs Reward platform is capable of motivating a range of benefits not just personal but for planetary health. Some of the differentiating designs and features of the digital platform include an agile API for integration and generativity, a tracking system for evaluating, monitoring, and verifying actions. It also features a mobile user interface for games, tasks, and challenges to complete for rewards; but more importantly, it has ease of use and accessibility.
Over the next 3 years 3P Partners has a strategic growth plan to scale the PIPs Rewards platform targeting academic institutions as subscribers and developing more action partnerships with positive impact and socially responsible organizations. This admirable goal will probably be exceeded, as currently, there are a number of state university systems and prestigious institutions that have high interests in subscribing to the PIPs platform. There are also a number of well- known corporations that have expressed interest as action partners as well. This prompts me to believe that this platform has the capabilities and potential to extend its subscription services and platform for utilization in municipalities, government agencies, and NGOs. As Wendy Gordon stated in the interview, ”Our vision is for PIPs to be a ubiquitous ‘currency of good’ and the PIPs platform to be a central node within a digital eco-system of positive impact organizations that are making doing good and living well fun, easy and rewarding."

Each bottle contains 500 cubic centimeters and can be used for 360 times, which means that 360 times they will avoid flushing. The saving in water quantity is approximately between 3000 and 3600 liters of water. It can be saved with this product of 500 cubic centimeters, in terms of money. The saving amount is approximately between 20% and 25% which makes the bill cheaper and the reason is that we are going to move from flushing from 10 to 20 times in the day to twice the maximum with our product.
