Ett certifierat klimatprojekt kombinerat med ytterligare engagemang

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.
