Going beyond the minimum

Sustainability can feel like a maze, especially when you’re unsure where to start or who to trust. It’s a challenge many small businesses face, and it can stall even the most passionate intentions.

But your sustainability journey doesn’t have to be daunting. The first step is finding a partner whose commitment is as transparent as it is impactful. Seek out those who don’t just meet the standard but strive to set new ones.

At Plastic Bank, we empower businesses of all sizes to stop plastic pollution and help end poverty with a commitment to authentic, verifiable impact. Our proprietary blockchain technology ensures full traceability in everything we do, and our efforts are recognized by Ecovadis' Silver Sustainability Rating and Global Recycling Standard certification.

Moreover, we go beyond the minimum requirements of PREVENT Waste Alliance on plastic credit methodology! Curious about how we’re setting new benchmarks in sustainability? Explore our latest blog!

In July, 42 members of the Espírito Santo collection community completed the Computer Science course we conducted at the Mão Estendida collection branch.

Our goal is to equip our members with the tools needed to help broaden their employment opportunities and improve their quality of life.

Egypt

Our team in Egypt recently renovated five collection branches. Upgrades included wall painting, secure cable management, pest control, ventilation, improved lighting, and fans. Collection members also received health and safety kits to prevent workplace accidents. We plan to continue these renovations throughout the year, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for our collection members across the country.

A big thank you to SC Johnson for partnering with us to empower collection communities, promote plastic circularity, and enhance our members' livelihoods.
