Revolutionizing eco systems
Plastic Bank® builds ethical recycling ecosystems in coastal communities and reprocesses the materials for reintroduction into the global supply chain.
-
Collected material is reborn as Social Plastic®
This creates a closed-loop supply chain while helping those who collect it.
-
Improving Lives
Collectors receive a premium for the materials they collect to help them provide basic family necessities, such as groceries, school tuition, and health insurance.
Rethinking Plastic
We are rethinking plastic by looking hard at every little think we change in order to make a difference. From looking at alternative materials, rethinking our plastic usage in products, to trying to completely eliminate the usage of virgin plastics.
All plastic used recycled by 2025
Packaging
-
Small pieces
We’ve eliminated the use of plastic under 2-3” in diameter. Due to their size, they fall through recycling belts, thus ending up in landfills.
-
Film
While some grocery stores may accept plastic films for recycling, most film continues to end up in landfills. Moving forward, all film will be made from a compostable alternative.
-
Paper
Many, if not all, products you see on shelf in a store are packaged with laminated paperboard. We’re replacing 100% of our plastic lamination with a water- based, completely recyclable coating.
