Plastic Bank turns plastic waste into opportunity
Why?
Poverty and plastic pollution go hand in hand
Communities in developing countries often rely on cheap, single-use plastics, and without proper waste management, this leads to severe plastic pollution.
How?
We see plastic as a valuable resource
Operating in regions most affected by plastic pollution, we encourage plastic collection by using it as currency. This approach empowers communities to exchange plastic waste for income and social benefits.
The result?
Gathering plastic helps end poverty
Businesses and individuals can engage in social impact investing by funding plastic waste collection in developing nations. This reduces their plastic footprint while providing essential income and social benefits to global communities.
