Plastic doesn’t need a special day for us to care where it ends up.
Collection matters. Prevention matters too.
Keep plastic out of nature. Create income opportunities.

At the PPAI Responsibility Summit, Plastic Bank Founder David Katz challenged us to think differently about what we create.
Less stuff. Better stuff. Stuff that matters.

Bedazzling is back. But those tiny gems are often made of plastic.
If they enter the environment, they can eventually break down into microplastics.
Keep the best part of the trend: refresh what you own and keep it in use longer.
Rethink the trend. #Plastic Bank.
