Ecoalf has built a genuine circular model with 294 million plastic bottles recycled and measurable ocean cleanup impact, but fails to publish Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions figures despite rapid 20% annual growth. Carbon neutrality claims rest on unvalidated methodology leaning on offsets. Core material strategy—recycling PET into polyester—faces unresolved expert criticism over microplastics.
