Meet Jhay from Tanay, Philippines. Every day, Jhay collects plastic waste from his community before it can pollute the environment. Each bottle he gathers helps create cleaner neighbourhoods while supporting a better future for his family. #PlasticBank

Our planet is blue, full of life, beauty, and possibility. But plastic pollution is threatening the planet and the ocean. This World Ocean Day, we celebrate collectors like Nirwati in Bali, who recover plastic from coastal communities and bring it back into the circular economy.

Together, @SCJohnson and @PlasticBank are empowering coastal communities to recover and recycle plastic, protect the environment, and improve livelihoods. Because every bottle collected is one less polluting our planet - and every collector empowered creates waves of change. 🌊

Tomorrow is World Ocean Day. At Plastic Bank, collection communities gather plastic waste from coastal neighbourhoods before it can reach waterways and the ocean. Protecting the ocean is not a one-day event. It is a daily commitment.

Today is World Reef Awareness Day. Warming oceans. Sewage pollution. Bottom trawling. Cyanide fishing. Blast fishing. Plastic waste. Protecting reefs starts before waste reaches the water. What do you think is the biggest threat to our oceans right now? #PlasticBank

Greenwashing thrives when brands use big impact words without clear data, timelines, or verification. Real sustainability should be measurable, traceable, and transparent. If a brand can’t answer, it’s not impact. It’s marketing. Read more in our blog: plasticbank.com/blog/how-to-…

What happens when bees lose the places they need to survive? Plastic pollution does not stop at the ocean. It reaches soil, rivers, gardens, fields, and the ecosystems pollinators depend on. Protect pollinators. Protect ecosystems. Protect the future. #PlasticBank #WorldBeeDay

One cheap order becomes two. Two become ten. And soon, the bargain costs more than you think. Every purchase creates an impact. The question is what kind. Choose better. Waste less. Support a world where plastic has value, not a place in nature.
