Plastic Bank - removing ocean-bound plastic

Plastic Bank is revolutionising the world’s recycling systems by building an ethical and fully traceable recycling ecosystem. An ecosystem stopping ocean plastic by empowering over 17,000 collectors in under-served communities across the globe.

 

Increasing the recycling rate for ocean-bound plastic and giving collectors a path out of poverty as they receive a premium for the materials they collect. Revealing the value of plastic waste to create positive social, environmental, and economic impacts.

 

Aiming to override the market’s need for virgin plastic, Social Plastic® creates a closed-loop supply chain providing ethically recovered materials.

 

Plastic Bank processes the collected plastic to reintroduce it into the global supply chain and has already stopped one billion plastic bottles from entering our oceans.

 

In addition to improving access to employment, education, health care and access to technology in Collector communities.
