We are celebrating our 7th anniversary!
7 years ago our founders, David Katz and Shaun Frankson, recognized that rather than seeing plastic as just a convenience, we needed a way to reveal its inherent value. They then stepped into the unknown and created a platform that reveals the value in our world. Over the past 7 years, we have been steadfast in our efforts to stop ocean plastic and improve the lives of collector communities.
We have a lot to celebrate:
- Over 11,000,000 kg of ocean-bound plastic collected
- Over 19,000 collectors registered on the Plastic Bank platform
- Over 300 active branches around the world
- Active operations in Haiti, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, and Egypt
Thank you to our collectors, partners, and employees for their commitment over the years. Together we are empowering a regenerative society. Help celebrate by taking action to stop ocean plastic with us today! Thank you for being on this journey with us!
Help empower collectors like Made Wangi in Indonesia and join our mission to stop ocean plastic and reduce poverty today!
