The project
Plastic Bank® builds ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal regions, reprocessing materials that are reintroduced into the international supply chain as Social Plastic®. Members of the Plastic Bank® project receive a prize money for the materials they collect, enabling them to provide for their families’ needs (i.e. food, fuel, school fees and health insurance).
Why it matters to us
A future-oriented use of plastics and their consequent reduction is a contemporary worldwide challenge. By joining Plastic Bank® we promote the idea of the circular economy: minimise the plastic waste disposal in the oceans and, at the same time, fight poverty. A unique socio-environmental solidarity project in line with Goal 12 of the 2030 Agenda, which aims to decrease waste production through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.
