What is the Professional Membership

Impact Subscription funds global plastic collection, delivers financial and social benefits to collection communities, and provides tools to communicate the environmental and social impact your business is making.

What Impact does my business fund?

Environmental Impact

Plastic waste collection

A subscription can fund the gathering of up to 600,000 plastic bottles annually. That’s the equivalent of a small city park covered in plastic.

Enabling the circular economy

Gathered plastic funded by your business can be transformed into recycled plastic feedstock. This substitutes virgin plastic in products and packaging.

Social Impact

Community member income

Your subscription enables members to gather plastic waste and exchange for money, revealing the value of plastic.

Social benefits

Your subscription funds social benefits including health, work and life insurance, digital connectivity, grocery vouchers, school supplies, and fintech services for collection members.

Where is this impact taking place?

Our communities in Indonesia fulfill plastic collection from Impact Subscriptions.

How do you ensure the impact is taking place?

When you subscribe to Plastic Bank, you can rest assured that each and every bottle is gathered by our members and exchanged at collection branches for additional income and social benefits.

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.

What does my company receive in exchange for the membership?

  • Certified monthly impact by the number of bottles gathered, automatically funded by your monthly subscription.

  • License to Plastic Bank branded badges and logos for use on product packaging and in marketing collateral.
