#latestactivities Transforming plastic waste into currency In the quest for sustainability, the intersection of environmental protection and social justice is becoming increasingly significant. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for urgent action to address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, and climate change. Within this framework, initiatives like Plastic Bank stand out as innovative solutions that not only tackle plastic pollution but also uplift communities, thereby contributing to multiple global goals. David Katz, the visionary founder and CEO of Plastic Bank, established the organisation on May 9, 2013. His insight revealed that much of the plastic waste leaking into the environment originates from impoverished areas, prompting the need to address both pollution and poverty concurrently. The first Plastic Bank branch was launched in Haiti, a bold initiative that has now expanded to countries including Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, Egypt, Thailand, and Cameroon. This growth exemplifies how targeted local solutions can create global impact. At its core, Plastic Bank operates on a unique model that converts plastic waste into a form of currency. Community members are empowered to collect discarded plastics and bring them to local collection centres. In return, they receive credits through a smartphone app, which can be redeemed for essential goods such as food, healthcare, and educational services. This innovative approach not only incentivises recycling but also provides economic equality by generating income for underserved communities. The concept of "social plastic" has emerged from this model, referring to the plastic waste collected through these initiatives. This plastic is recycled and sold to major brands looking to offset their plastic footprint. In essence, Plastic Bank creates a circular economy where waste is transformed into a valuable resource. The organisation’s impact is substantial; approximately 50,000 plastic bottles are collected every 45 minutes, highlighting the scale of participation and the potential for change.

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?

♻️ 🌍 🖊️ Our Choices Make a Difference and Intrex choice means more than just having a pen - it represents sustainable writing and mindful branding. Plastic pollution in our oceans is a global issue 🌊 As the inventor Thomas Alva Edison once said, "If there’s a way to do it better, find it!" When we have a choice, we choose the best possible option. We don't take the easy way out even in seemingly simple decisions, like selecting company-branded pens. For us, choosing a pen wasn't just about fulfilling a need; it was about understanding "where it comes from" and, more importantly, what it's made of 🤔💡 Thanks to CAPIRA creative product and their commitment, we discovered the RECYCLED PET PEN PRO F ocean from uma Schreibgeräte Ullmann GmbH. This pen is made from plastic bottles 🥤🧋 collected by Plastic Bank from vulnerable coastal areas before they reach the ocean. The process involves collecting, sorting, and recycling plastic, which offsets pollution and ensures a fully climate-neutral production. #sustainablechoice #sustainability #recycling #makingdifference
