Plastic Waste Collection
This process helps reduce pollution, protect wildlife, and prevent harmful chemicals from leaching into ecosystems. In our initiatives, plastic collectors can trade in their collected plastic bottles for income and benefits such as health insurance, grocery vouchers, and school supplies.
Additionally, plastic waste collection prevents plastic from breaking down into microplastics, which can have detrimental effects on marine life and food chains. These efforts contribute to cleaner environments and a reduction in the overall carbon footprint.
By trading in their collected plastic bottles, collectors receive:
- Income: Direct financial compensation, helping to improve their living standards.
- Health Insurance: Access to healthcare services, ensuring better health and wellbeing.
- Grocery Vouchers: Assistance with daily necessities, reducing financial stress.
- School Supplies: Support for education, enabling better future opportunities for their children.
These benefits contribute to the overall improvement of community wellbeing and foster a sustainable, circular economy.
These locations are selected not only because they require significant cleanup efforts but also because the communities there are committed to conserving their environments. The local populations benefit from the socio-economic advantages provided by our plastic waste collection programs, which support both environmental and community development.
Through our partnership with Plastic Bank, we collect plastic within 50 kilometres of ocean-bound areas. Our communities gather plastic waste from various sources, including beaches, riverbanks, and households, directly addressing ocean plastic pollution.
Together, we reveal value in plastic waste and improve lives. Members exchange plastic waste for bonuses at local Plastic Bank branches, enabling access to necessities like groceries, fuel, education, and healthcare. Our secure and traceable income sources empower vulnerable communities to overcome poverty.
