This pair of socks is made from social plastic from Plastic Bank: A social enterprise that is stopping plastic from entering the ocean while improving the lives of those who help collect it. The Plastic Bank offers residents of Haiti, the Philippines and Indonesia cash or vouchers in exchange for the waste they collect, which then goes on to be recycled into products. The brand is known as SOCIAL PLASTIC.

Transforming lives and Oceans – Plastic bank and the social plastic® initiative was founded in 2013 by David Katz and Shaun Frankson The Plastic Bank began by turning waste plastic into an asset for some of the world’s most impoverished people. By enabling collectors to exchange plastic for money, items or Blockchain secured digital tokens, Plastic Bank revealed the value in plastic. Collectors can purchase anything from insurance and phones to cooking fuel and stoves, even school tuition in some areas. This initiative is now known as Social plastic®.

Such an initiative empowers recycling ecosystems around the world and in turn stops the flow of plastic into our oceans. All while helping people living in poverty build better futures for themselves.
