School Program in Indonesia

A gift that keeps giving

Your contribution to our School Program helps educate children on plastic pollution, incentivizes families to recycle and helps collection communities prosper. Together, we're shaping a future where plastic waste becomes an opportunity, not a burden.

How it works

Our School Program equips schools with accessible recycling drop points for local communities. Focusing on schools enables systemic shifts through:

1. Access — families bring their plastic waste to schools; a location that's already in their daily routines
2. Funding — the gathered plastic is exchanged at Plastic Bank branches, with the value being returned to the school itself
3. Education — students and teachers become changemakers, learning about recycling and becoming stewards of the environment

Your contribution creates prosperity:

• Families are incentivized to sort and recycle responsibly
• Teachers are trained on the fundamentals of recycling
• Plastic Bank collectors earn extra income for school recycling pick-ups
• New schools are equipped to join the program, expanding impact to more communities
