At Plastic Bank, we're not just recycling—we're transforming plastic waste into opportunities for a better life. We turn ocean-bound plastic into a currency that helps communities access life-improving benefits. When communities gather plastic, they can exchange it for extra cash or essentials like health, work and life insurance, digital connectivity, grocery vouchers, school supplies, fintech services, and more
The creation journey of our Changemaker bracelets begins with our community gathering plastic waste from beaches, riverbanks, neighbourhoods, and households.
The materials are exchanged as currency at local collection branches for income and life-improving benefits – these include access to health, work and life insurance, digital connectivity, grocery vouchers, school
supplies, fintech services, and more.
The collected plastic is reborn as Social Plastic® feedstock and used to produce the beads in your bracelet.
Meticulously handcrafted, these unique bracelets and rosaries are a collaboration with Manila City Jail as part of their livelihood program. Meticulously handcrafted by Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) who are awaiting trial in the Philippines.
With each purchase of our bracelets and rosaries, you're saving the ocean, empowering collection communities and supporting Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) in the Philippines to earn an income while awaiting trial.
