We chose to partner with Plastic Bank® to help stop ocean plastic because they go past just collecting bottles and help to improve the lives of collector communities.
Plastic Bank® empowers a regenerative society through ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal communities, and reprocessing those collected materials into Social Plastic®.
Collectors in these communities receive a premium for materials they collect, which helps provide for basic necessities such as groceries, cooking fuel, school tuition, and health care.
Plastic Bank® currently operates in Haiti, Brazil, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Egypt.
