How do I log into my Impact Account?
Your Impact Account can be accessed from: https://members.plasticbank.com/ or by clicking the account button on our website navigation bar. You will need your unique username and password to log in.
How do you ensure the impact is taking place?
All plastic offsets are secured by our proprietary blockchain-secured platform which offers end-to-end traceability. Plastic Bank assigns unique ownership of the entire transaction chain, from the member who collects the plastic to the processor who recycles it through Plastic Bank’s proprietary blockchain. This offers traceability of collection bonuses awarded to members, confirms material recycling at our processor partner facilities, and offers proof of social impact. Every transaction has a unique claim ID number that can only be owned by one purchaser.
How do you calculate impact in bottles?
One kilogram of plastic is equivalent to 50 (500ml) single-use plastic bottles, based on our Bottle2KG research study involving over 100 collection branches across the Philippines and Indonesia. Learn more here about our research!
Who are the collection community members?
An individual who is over 18 years of age, registered through the PlasticBank® app, and gathers discarded plastic from the environment is a collection community member. Some are full-time members who have worked in informal waste collection for many years, while others work with us on a part-time basis to supplement other sources of income. Regardless of how much or how often our collection community members collect plastic, age-verified collection members can exchange plastic for additional income and social benefits at their local collection branch.
What do you do with the plastic after it's collected?
The plastic collected through our collection communities is delivered to our processing partners for reprocessing into Social Plastic® feedstock and reintegrated into products and packaging by partner organizations and brands.
Explain the work you do and what communities benefit.
Plastic Bank identifies vulnerable coastlines at the intersection of plastic pollution and poverty across the world that would benefit from plastic collection infrastructure. We then empower local entrepreneurs to establish collection branches in convenient locations and help gather collection communities together to collect discarded plastic from the environment. Community members exchange their collections at the branch for additional income and access to social, helping them to pave a path out of poverty and become changemakers by reducing plastic pollution. Collection members and collection branches are registered through the PlasticBank® app that records every transaction, enables traceable collection, secures income, and verifies reporting.
