You could fly to Manila and pick up the plastic yourself.
Or back the people who already do. Collectors exchange what they gather for income at their local branch, funded by people like you, and by businesses like these.
Back her.

What's the catch?
Go on, ask.
No. Collectors gather plastic and exchange it for income at a Plastic Bank branch. Your funding is what makes that exchange happen.
Fifty bottles are gathered in your name straight away, on us. From there you take on missions, fund collection when you want to, and watch your total grow. Running a business? You can set it up as a business for good.
Every exchange is logged the moment it happens (weight, branch, date) and recorded against the funding behind it. You get a public page that updates itself.
About 50 bottles weigh a kilogram and cost between $0.55 and $1.50 to collect, depending on the country. No hidden numbers. Every price is public.
