What are plastic credits?

Plastic credits are a market-based mechanism designed to incentivise the reduction, removal, or recycling of plastic waste. Similar to carbon credits, plastic credits represent the quantifiable reduction of plastic waste and can be bought and sold to support projects combatting plastic waste and restoring ecosystems.

By purchasing plastic credits, businesses can balance their plastic footprint and support initiatives that promote recycling infrastructure, waste management systems, education, and other measures aimed at reducing plastic waste and promoting a circular economy.

Proven methodologies

We use proven plastic waste collection and recycling methodologies developed collaboratively with experts and stakeholders and regularly reviewed for effectiveness in evaluating plastic-removal project impacts.

Impactful results

Each of our plastic credits purchased represents 1,000 kg of plastic cleaned up and recycled. By buying plastic credits, you help reduce the amount of plastic waste ending up in the environment, harming animal life and disrupting delicate ecosystems. 

Benefits of plastic credits

Our programme removes plastic waste from oceans, rivers, and ecosystems, preventing further environmental harm and landfill accumulation. The plastic is then recycled into other products. Our initiatives also generate local job opportunities, fostering sustainable livelihoods. Every 1,000 kilogrammes of plastic recycled or recovered earns a certified plastic credit, evidencing its positive environmental impact.

By buying plastic credits, you not only address your business' plastic use but also show your commitment to nature, attracting eco-conscious consumers, boosting your brand, and improving your sustainability reporting.
