Plastic Bank
WE'VE PARTNERED WITH PLASTIC BANK.
Plastic Bank is a social enterprise committed to stopping ocean plastic while improving the lives of collectors in vulnerable coastal communities.
Plastic Bank builds ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal communities and reprocesses the materials for reintroduction into the global manufacturing supply chain. Collectors receive a premium for the materials they collect which helps them provide basic family necessities such as groceries, cooking fuel, school tuition, and health insurance.
Plastic Bank creates environmental, social and economic impact in Haiti, the Philippines, Indonesia, Brazil and Egypt.
