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?

"Circular economy"—a term that sounds promising, but is it always true to its word? 🌱🌀 In a world where sustainability claims rise, not all are created equal. Some companies use these terms to project a 'green' image without backing it up with genuine, transparent action. How can you spot the difference? #PlasticBank #StopPlasticPollution #EndPoverty #GrowWithPurpose #Allofus

🌍💔 Did you know countries like the U.S., Japan, and Germany export millions of tons of waste to developing nations like Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines? In 2019, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte demanded Canada take back 69 containers of illegal waste shipped to the Philippines—or face consequences. His frustration highlighted the ongoing exploitation of developing countries as dumping grounds for global trash. This waste pollutes rivers, poisons farmland, and endangers lives. It’s time to hold nations and corporations accountable for their waste! ✊ #EnvironmentalJustice #WasteCrisis #StopWasteImports #ClimateAction #Philippines #Indonesia #Thailand #Vietnam
