Hello we are

Green

Phenix

We are a social enterprise driving sustainable development by catalyzing circular and inclusive economies that safeguard oceans, empower resilient island communities, and advance foresight-based governance for durable sustainability.

Building on our roots in community-based recycling and education, we now drive upstream solutions through research, policy advisory, and project development — helping island societies transition to material sovereignty and systemic sustainability.

  • Green Phenix is an exceptional initiative, run by the most passionate and caring people. With aspiring goals in mind, every day, they tackle problems that many others so easily overlook.
    They put themselves at the front lines of plastic pollution in Curaçao and Caribbean, innovating and bring change that extends beyond keeping the environment clean. With their mission to bring circular economy mindset to Curaçao, they are changing the whole ecosystem of business and resource-management, echoing outside the borders of the island.
    In addition to that, they provide social initiatives that improve the lives of many. It is a cause that’s filled with love for nature, humanity and resilience.
