Plastic Bank

Our communities have hand-gathered the largest volume of plastic waste—not through beach clean-ups or ocean-cleaning expeditions. This milestone was achieved with the hands of over 50,000 people, consistently collecting discarded plastic from the environment BEFORE it reaches our ocean or the landfills. They exchange plastic for income and benefits that put food on the table for their families. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: it’s not even a drop in the bucket. We’re still drowning in plastic pollution and poverty. This isn’t just a celebration; it’s a wake-up call. Enough with feel-good initiatives that don’t move the needle. You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem. It’s time for businesses, influencers, and communities to step up and prioritize collective prosperity for both people and the planet. Over 500 businesses have already taken real action to create authentic impact with us. What’s holding you back? 🌍 It’s time to align profit with purpose and make real, measurable impact where it matters most. Ready to join the movement?

This man has gone 30 years without celebrating his birthday. From hardship to hope, Maurício’s journey is a testament to the power of second chances. In Brazil’s largest favela, Rocinha, he found a fresh start and a purpose in recycling. On his birthday, he didn’t just celebrate with cake and friends for the first time in over 30 years—he celebrated a new life. Witness the transformation of turning waste into opportunity.

Is it time to admit recycling isn’t enough? Only 9% of plastic waste has ever been recycled, while the rest pollutes our landfills and oceans. We’ve relied on recycling for decades, but it’s clear we need a new approach. Should we focus on reducing and reusing instead? Or does recycling still have a role in a sustainable future? Let’s open the conversation. 🌍♻️ #Recycling #StopPlasticPollution #PlasticWaste #PlasticBank #RecyclingMyth

🎃 Halloween hypocrisy alert!🚨 It’s the annual contradiction we all ignore. We shout about ending plastic pollution—then fill our carts with single-use plastic decorations and party supplies for Halloween. What will it take for us to actually break this cycle? Or is Halloween too sacred to rethink? Tell us what you think. 🍬🗑 #PlasticTruth #Halloween #HalloweenWaste #StopPlasticPollution #PlasticBank

Have you heard of a mundane Halloween? While Japan is known for anime and over the top cosplay, it is also home to the mundane Halloween contest -- which is perfect for people who wanted to celebrate Halloween but were too shy to dress up in attention-grabbing costumes. People come in costumes inspired by ordinary situations that happen in everyday life. Some are oddly specific and require some explanation, while others are instantly recognizable. It's a great way to get creative (and sustainable!) with items you probably have at home! #PlasticBank #EndPoverty #StopPlasticPollution #GrowWithPurpose #Allofus
