Verification
Plastic collection is secured by a proprietary blockchain-secured platform which offers end-to-end traceability. Our partners at Plastic Bank assign unique ownership of the entire transaction chain, from the member who collects the plastic to the processor who recycles it.
Additionality
Plastic collection is additional to business-as-usual, meaning recovered plastics would otherwise be released into waterways without your contributions. Collection operations are currently underway in Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, Egypt and Thailand.
Permanent
Effectively diverting plastics from waterways permanently reduces the measurable volume of ocean-bound plastics that ultimately lead to impacts on marine ecosystems.
