A certified climate project combined with additional commitment
This combined project contributes to the financing of a certified climate project and additionally supports international ocean protection. For every tonne of CO2 saved through the contribution via a certified climate project, 10 kg of plastic is collected in coastal regions. This intercepts plastic before it enters the sea and protects sensitive marine ecosystems.
Currently, ocean protection is combined with a certified wind energy project in Luzon, Philippines (climatepartner.com/1091) and with a certified wind energy project in Sidrap, Indonesia (climatepartner.com/1149). Both projects produce electricity from renewable energy sources with the help of wind turbines and thus contribute to the energy transition. They also create long-term jobs for the local population.
Our additional commitment: 10 kg of plastic collected for every tonne of CO2 reduced
With our combined project, we combine verified emission reductions through a certified climate project with additional commitment that protects our oceans. Oceans store a quarter of the CO2 from the atmosphere and even 93 percent of the heat caused by the greenhouse effect - making them a major brake on climate change. Warming, overfishing, pollutants, and waste endanger this balancing function. Over 12 million tonnes of plastic waste end up in the sea every year. Especially in developing countries that often lack infrastructure for proper waste disposal.
Plastic Bank empowers ethical recycling communities in vulnerable coastal areas. Community members exchange plastic at local collection branches for life-improving benefits, such as health and life insurance, meal vouchers, and secure income. The certified climate project is registered with international standards.
The project aims to contribute to these United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
