OUR STORY
IT HITS
CLOSE TO HOME.
We started in the Philippines, but we represent all of the places hit hard by end-of-life plastic waste. We know first-hand its toll on nature, the climate, the economy, and our health. There’s no time to waste. It’s a global problem that needs a global solution.
WE’RE FUELED
BY HOPE.
Drawing from the success of our Hope in a Bottle program, we launched PCX and PCX SOLUTIONS non-profit to take on the massive challenge of global plastic waste. Our vision was to adopt only the best practices of carbon credits and apply it to plastic, but with transparency and impact at the core. We became the first nonprofit to do so.
LET'S THINK
CIRCULAR.
The plastic ecosystem touches everyone. That’s why it’s crucial PCX SOLUTIONS works with businesses, local communities and policymakers. On the one hand, businesses and consumers commit to a plan of responsibility for any plastic usage they can’t yet eliminate, and on the other hand, we work with government to incentivize the investment and development of circular economy infrastructure.
WE'RE
MOBILIZING A PLANET.
We’re building an ever-expanding network of partners who recover, process and recycle plastic waste. As we grow, we continuously seek out the latest environmentally sound solutions to plastic waste reduction, and adopt evolving industry best practices into our Standards.
OUR MISSION
NO PLASTIC WASTE IN NATURE.
We aim to not only enable the cleanup of 9 billion+ tonnes from 80+ years of consumption already threatening the planet, we encourage the elimination of unnecessary plastic
and enable responsible production and waste management for any plastic that remains,
so that it doesn't wind up in nature.
CHANGE IS
A TEAM SPORT.
We come from different backgrounds, including environmental research, management, and policy, united by a common vision of a plastic waste-free world.
