A collective action platform.

Other platforms turn your attention into points. This one turns small actions into plastic gathered and people paid.

Change that starts today.Join and fifty bottles are gathered from the environment before you've finished your coffee.

A community that acts.Individuals and businesses working together on the two crises plastic creates: pollution and poverty.
The heroes behind it.Collectors in Egypt, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil and Thailand. You'll know them by name.

“Amazing to see where social plastic is actually going.”

Your first mission

Small daily missions that add up. The first one is joining: fifty bottles gathered and a family paid, the moment you do.

Since 2013
10.3 billion bottles.
exchanged for income by 73,064 heroes across 5 countries.

Questions?

No. Nobody is given money. Collectors are paid for the plastic they bring in, and your funding is what pays them.

Nothing to join. Funding more collection starts at $5.

Every exchange is logged the moment it happens and recorded against your account, so you can see exactly what your actions funded.

Any time. Nothing was signed.

56,352 of us so far.

Fifty bottles, the moment you sign up. You'll be #56,353.
