About Us

EcoREactive is an eco-initiative of NGO “Mountain Rescue Centre”‘s volunteers (www.mrc.if.ua).

Our history and mission

The story began in 2018 with the “Rescuers for Nature” project, within which we organized eco-actions to clean the Dniester river banks. Then the first thought arose about recycling at least part of the collected plastic.
Another impetus was our participation in the campaign “Help Ozzy, the plastic chewer, save our sea from garbage” within EMBLAS project “Strengthening the ecological monitoring of the Black Sea”. At that time, we collected 6 kg of bottle caps for recycling, and by the end of 2019, more than 10 eco-actions were held, in which 300 people joined together.

EcoREactive’s mission is to create a culture of conscious consumption and reuse of plastic by collecting, recycling, and making useful products from it.

Achievements and awards

• 2019, 2022 – second national award of the “Terre des Femmes” program of the Yves Rocher Foundation to coordinator Nataliya Gasyuk (twice).

Plastic recycling workshop

Over the years, the NGO “Mountain Rescue Centre” has formed an “eco-team” that studies the experience of other regions regarding plastic recycling. We like the idea of ​​creating unique things from recycled plastic. The workshop is developing: the first equipment was manufactured according to open drawings from the platform www.preciousplastic.com, we manufacture our own devices ourselves, experiment with the plastic recycling; we have already saved more than 12 tons of caps from landfills and we continue to come up with something new and interesting.
