In this episode of PACKOLUTION, we welcome David Katz, founder of Plastic Bank. This social enterprise takes an innovative approach to simultaneously combat plastic pollution and poverty. Plastic Bank establishes collection points worldwide where people can exchange plastic waste for goods and services. The collected plastic is then sorted, processed, and sold as “Social Plastic” to companies that reuse the material in their products.

David Katz explains how this concept works, its social and ecological impacts, and how it makes an important contribution to the circular economy. Look forward to an inspiring episode about innovative recycling concepts, social responsibility, and new ways to sustainably close the plastic cycle.
