Frequently
asked
questions

What are Plastic Credits?

The verified assignable value to stop one traceable kilogram of discarded plastic from polluting the environment, redeemable in local currency. Plastic Bank assigns unique ownership of the entire transaction chain, from the member who collects the plastic to the processor who recycles it. This offers traceability of collection bonuses awarded to members, confirms material recycling at our processor partner facilities, and offers proof of social impact. Every transaction has a unique claim ID number that can only be owned by one purchaser. A plastic credit transfers the ownership of that transaction and the associated environmental and social impact.

What are Impact Programs?

Impact Programs enable businesses to offset their plastic footprint by purchasing plastic collection credits that contribute to the certified collection of plastic and help collection community members.

What does Plastic Net-Zero mean?

Plastic Net-Zero is defined as a zero-sum plastic footprint. An individual, business, product or product line can achieve this by purchasing plastic collection credits from Plastic Bank equal to the amount of plastic used, during a specified period of time.

What does Plastic Net Positive mean?

Plastic Net Positive is defined as an offset of 1.5x the plastic footprint. An individual, business, product or product line can achieve this by purchasing plastic collection credits from Plastic Bank equal to 1.5 times the amount of plastic used, during a specified period of time.
