Plastic credits can help companies fund the collection and recovery of plastic waste. But not all plastic credits or plastic recovery projects deliver the same level of impact, verification, transparency or value.

‍

In this webinar, PCX explores how plastic credits work, what credible plastic recovery looks like, and how companies can evaluate plastic credit providers, standards and projects. We discuss the role of independent verification, traceability and recognized standards, as well as how factors such as geography, plastic type, environmental impact, social impact, and cost can shape a plastic cleanup portfolio.

‍

The conversation also looks at how plastic credits and voluntary plastic recovery fit into a broader plastic responsibility strategy, including their relationship to plastic reduction and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).

‍

Drawing on PCX’s experience working with global brands and a network of 54 recovery projects across 16 countries that together have recovered more than half a billion pounds of plastic waste, the webinar offers practical guidance for companies already purchasing plastic credits as well as those considering investing in plastic recovery for the first time.
