Investing in plastic waste infrastructure through plastic credits

Plastic pollution is accumulating worldwide and poses a serious threat to the health of our planet.

As the amount of plastic produced and consumed continues to accelerate, global waste systems cannot keep up and our natural environment is paying the price. Companies and brands must take responsibility to reduce plastic within their supply chains and are advised to simultaneously support initiatives that increase collection and recycling worldwide.

To aid the private sector in addressing its plastic footprint, South Pole offers a range of certified high-quality projects: that channel finance into building, and scaling, waste infrastructure around the world. By purchasing credits, generated by these projects, companies can take responsibility for their plastic footprint, whilst contributing toward the preservation of our planet's ecosystems and the transition towards a global circular economy.
