Plastic Credits and Sustainable Roadmap

Through the 500 plastic credits generated by this initiative, GBTC Finance not only contributed to plastic recovery but also financed a sustainable roadmap. This roadmap, implemented by Leonardo GR, a verified plastic recycling entity, took place on the Playa de Pinedo in Valencia, Spain.

During this project, over 232 kg of various types of waste were collected from the beach, including:

  • 10 kg of cardboard  
  • 5 kg of aluminum cans  
  • 145 kg of microplastics  
  • 12 kg of scrap metal  
  • 60 kg of non-recyclable waste

Thanks to the verification and traceability technology provided by Plastiks, every step of the recovery process was monitored, ensuring the transparency of the results and providing detailed reporting on the environmental impact.
