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?

🔥 Black Friday: A Wasteful Hypnosis? 🛒❌ Every year, Black Friday tempts us to buy things we don’t need. Here’s the truth: 80% of those items and their packaging end up in landfills or incinerators after a very short life. 😱 So, before you shop, ask yourself: Do you really need it? 🤔💸 Source: University of Leeds, 2019 #BlackFridayWaste #ThinkBeforeYouBuy #PlasticTruth #StopPlasticPollution

23%—that’s all the COP29 climate finance pledge covers. 🌡️💰 $300 billion sounds big, but it’s nowhere near the $1.3 trillion needed to tackle the climate crisis. This isn’t just numbers—it’s our planet, our future. We need real action, not empty promises. 🛑✊ 💬 What do you think? Shouldn’t those responsible pay their fair share? #COP29Fail #ClimateJusticeNow #ClimateCrisis #MakePollutersPay #StopPlasticPollution

Authentic stories of real-life impact that your tribe would love to hear: "Before the pandemic, I worked at a handicraft store in Bali. When the business had to close, I struggled to make ends meet. Near my house, there was a Plastic Bank collection branch. I gathered the courage to ask the branch owner how I could start collecting recyclable materials to earn money. They kindly explained the process, and I began my journey as a collection member. Since then, I’ve been able to rent land and build a simple house with my husband. My son helps collect plastic after graduating high school, my husband works in construction, and my daughter is finishing vocational school to become a pharmacist. I am proud to collect plastic—it cleans the environment and provides for my family. I look forward to a bright future for my children." – Asnaini Love what we do?
