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.

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!
