For each shirt bought, 10 plastic bottles are collected from our oceans!
Your purchase helps support our work with Plastic Bank to help end poverty and stop
plastic pollution.
Together, we have gathered plastic bottles from the environment, creating lasting
social and environmental impact!
Plastic is gathered from the environment in areas with high levels of plastic pollution that
lack formal recycling infrastructure. We empower collection members to exchange plastic
at their local collection branches for additional income and social benefits, such as
grocery vouchers and health insurance.
Every plastic exchange is recorded in the PlasticBank® app for traceable, secure, and
verified reporting. The plastic is then sent to local processors to be made into recycled
feedstock, reentering the global manufacturing supply chain and enabling a circular
economy for plastic.
What is Plastic Bank?
Plastic Bank is a social fintech with a mission to end poverty and stop plastic pollution
through a global bottle deposit program. It is headquartered in Canada and operates in
the Philippines, Indonesia, Brazil, Egypt, Thailand, and Cameroon.
Collection members join Plastic Bank through their local collection branch or by
registering on the PlasticBank® app, and gather discarded plastic from the environment,
including beaches, rivers, streets, neighbourhoods, businesses, schools, places of
worship, community centers, and more.
Members exchange the collected plastic for additional income and access to social
benefits, including health, work and life insurance, digital connectivity, grocery vouchers,
school supplies, and fintech services. Every exchange is recorded in the PlasticBank®
app for traceable reporting backed by their blockchain-secured platform. The plastic is
then sent to local processors to be made into recycled feedstock, reentering the global
manufacturing supply chain and enabling a circular economy for plastic.
