Climate protection projects
Marine protection
We invest in a climate protection project for marine conservation worldwide. Over 8 million tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean every year. Especially in developing countries, the infrastructure for proper disposal is often lacking. Stopping the plastic flood while improving the lives of collecting communities - this is the approach the Plastic Bank is taking. In Haiti, Indonesia, Brazil and the Philippines, local residents collect plastic waste. At collection points, they can exchange it for money, food, drinking water, or even school fees. The project ensures that less plastic ends up in the sea. Instead, it is recycled and processed into so-called "social plastic", which serves as a raw material for new products, such as packaging.
