Recovery projects

Environmental and social impact made easy with Plastiks

Our Recovery Projects

Developing countries are the ones most affected by plastic waste, mainly due to a lack of education and underdeveloped recycling infrastructure. Plastiks wants to help change this through collaboration with recovery projects in these areas.

The recovery projects we are working with are vital in restoring what plastic pollution has damaged, and they need funding to increase their impact.

Success stories

“Brazil recycles only 2,1% and plastic waste is a chronic problem in the brazilian cities. Green mining was founded to reduce the environmental damage caused by plastic waste and guarantee respect work for people with few job opportunities. The success of this project means we can provide our workers with a better standard of living while removing even more plastic”
Rodrigo Oliveira
CEO and Co-Founder of Green Mining

8 million tons of plastic enters our oceans annually. 700 species are affected by plastics, 1 credit card worth of microplastics is consumed every week by each adult, 80% of the population has microplastics in their blood. 

It’s important to note where the vast majority of the world’s plastic pollution is coming from right now. 90% of all plastic waste entering the oceans through rivers, comes from just ten rivers in Asia and Africa. 

Emerging countries industrialized at an impressive pace in the last few decades, transforming the lives of billions of people. This development was so fast, that the garbage disposal infrastructure couldn’t keep up with collecting and recycling all the new waste. 

If organizations and individuals in western countries want to help address this issue, investing in infrastructure in developing countries is just as important as fighting plastic pollution at home with campaigns and redesigning products to minimize unnecessary plastic production. 

If we do not address plastic pollution from a global perspective, we will not solve it. 

Imagine a world where every bit of plastic has a first name and a last name. Imagine a world where we would know for sure how much plastic we are actually producing and recovering from the environment. 

There is a lot of plastic data in the world, about production, recovery and where plastic ends up. But do we really know? Since plastic is not really being tracked or verified, it is impossible to know what plastic is being accounted for. 

Introducing Plastiks, the ecosystem where everybody can take verifiable action to support recovery projects committed to fight plastic pollution, and reward transparency in the plastic economy.

The Invoice Data: 

The invoice serves as the foundation of data information about the type and amount of plastic that has been recovered, who did the job and where did they do it. 

If you are collecting plastic waste in the environment and returning it to collection points or to recyclers who in turn is creating the prime resource and generating invoices for selling that waste (mixed plastic also accepted), as long as you can get access to an invoice for collecting and returning that plastic waste, you are eligible to create plastic recovery guarantees on the Plastiks Marketplace.
