Thanks for being here! This Staff Program is limited to Plastic Bank employees and has training materials to help all of us become the best Banker’s we can be no matter what our roll is. This also gives us a place where we can work on courses and test them before releasing them to the public. If there is anything you would like to add or if you have suggestions for improvements, please get in touch with Rob.

INC-5.2 ended without a plastics treaty, but action cannot wait. Plastic Bank shares key takeaways from Geneva and how communities are driving solutions.
Plastic waste is a big problem we’re all facing today. Every year, the world produces over 2 billion tonnes of waste, and a lot of that is plastic that ends up as ocean and land pollution.1 But there’s hope. Plastic Bank is changing the game by turning plastic waste into something valuable. This helps communities clean up the planet and also empowers people to earn a living and build better lives.
We often see plastic pollution as a problem to clean up. But imagine if we could stop plastic pollution before it ever reaches nature. That’s the promise of prevention: small choices that ripple outward into big change. Whether you're a consumer, a company, or a community leader, the steps we take today in adopting plastic reduction solutions can meaningfully tilt the balance away from waste and toward regeneration. We’ll explore how individual, business, and community decisions such as using refill stations, improving waste sorting, or switching materials can make a massive impact.
