Transform plastic waste into HOPE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SduIWj1DGSU

Over 350 million tonnes of plastic is produced annually but only high-value plastics are being collected and recycled, the rest will end up in landfills, waterways, or being burned.

Without a solution, the amount of plastic waste will increase constantly, and very soon, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.

It’s undeniable that plastic is an amazing material, we can not stop using it but can use it in a better way.

We understand the urgency of finding solutions for all plastic waste, particularly the vast amount not collected or recycled. We decided to take action to address this issue and protect our planet from the harmful effects of plastic pollution.

Together, we want to achieve something bigger which affects not only our lives but the entire community.

Plastic and People are the problem, but Plastic and People are also the solution, that's how PLASTICPeople came alive.

Starting with just a small team in 2019, we faced the unexpected challenges of COVID-19. But thanks to the trust and support of the community, we were able to overcome those tough times. We persevered and grew stronger because of it.

Our team is constantly striving to improve the quality of our material made entirely out of plastic waste. Each day, we dedicate our efforts to enhancing the performance and durability of our product, ensuring that our customers receive the best possible experience.

By Sep 2023:
Over 800+ tons of plastic waste recycled
35+ connections with waste collectors and pickers
700+ connections with individuals, families, schools, offices
30+ employees at all levels

For Planet:

Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in landfills, oceans, and waterways, causing severe damage to our environment. Our solution aims to give a new life to all types of plastic, transforming them into valuable materials and preventing them from polluting our planet. By collecting and processing plastic waste, we can reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and oceans, while creating a more sustainable future for our planet.

For people:

To properly handle plastic waste, the plastic must be thoroughly cleaned. However, without proper water treatment, collecting and cleaning the plastic in our facilities would waste water. The most practical solution to avoid this is to conduct the cleaning at the source.

That makes collaboration with the community essential for creating real change. The more people who participate, the more significant the impact will be.

Our ongoing efforts to foster a strong bond with the community have yielded promising outcomes in spreading awareness regarding the pressing issue of plastic waste. We urge people to take a proactive approach by cleaning their plastic and sending it to our recycling facility. It brings us immense satisfaction that we have already received plastic from over 1,000 individuals, families, and organizations.

Together, we can make a positive impact on the lives of those in vulnerable communities by providing employment opportunities. By doing so, we can uplift the earnings of informal waste management collectors and pickers, ultimately leading to a better future for all.

For Profit:

We developed our market for high-quality recycled products, focused on clientele that values true sustainability in their business. Based on market need, some material looks recycled yet are rarely found recycled, making them appropriate for architecture projects, construction, the furniture industry, and interior design.

Market: Sustainable development has become a top priority for businesses worldwide. As we work towards achieving our goal, we not only gain a significant advantage in the market but also successfully develop it. So far, we have completed over 100 projects.

Plastic has been with us for over 100 years and become a part of our lives, it is a cheap, durable, and safe material and can be found everywhere.
Due to its durability, it can stay for hundreds of years before decomposing. The amount of plastic collected and recycled makes up only a small quantity of plastic produced annually. All the plastic waste goes to landfills, being burnt, this also leads to a global problem, plastic pollution.
We wouldn't want our future generation to inherit a planet overflowing with plastic waste or to have to search for a new home elsewhere like what we often see in science fiction movies due to what we do today.

By collecting and sorting plastic at its source, we can make a significant difference in cleaning up our environment, creating new habits in using, disposing of plastic, and consuming recyclable products.
We want to start the change now so that even in the next 100 or 1000 years, every individual can be responsible for their own plastic trash & keep our Planet Green again.
Just like the butterfly effect, our actions might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado.

The issue of plastic pollution poses a severe threat to biodiversity as it pollutes natural habitats, Millions of animals are killed by plastics every year, and Nearly every species of seabird eats plastics.
Once at sea, sunlight, wind, and wave action break down plastic waste into small particles, often less than one-fifth of an inch across. These so-called microplastics are spread throughout the water column and have been found in every corner of the globe.
Our sustainable solution to this problem is to close the loop of producing, consuming, and recycling plastic, which can significantly reduce the amount of waste that ends up in the environment, harming wildlife.
If plastic is separated and cleaned at the source, it can help to prevent landfills from becoming overloaded and reduce the negative impact on wildlife.
Our material is durable and a strong alternative to wood, helping to reduce the amount of trees being cut down. Without any additives, chemicals, binders, or colors, this material can be recycled over and over again.

We show how we close the loop through a real story that everybody can see, touch, and be part of it.
