Update: 2024-09-30
Description
David Katz, founder and CEO of Plastic Bank, returns to talk with Mitch Ratcliffe about the groundbreaking social enterprise's effort to transform plastic waste into economic opportunity. Plastic Bank has created a “global bottle deposit program" that partners with companies to incentivize the collection of ocean-bound plastic in vulnerable communities. Plastic Bank provides vital income while reducing plastic pollution, with over 3 billion plastic bottles already intercepted from entering our oceans.
Since David last visited with Earth911, there has been a lot of growth and, recently, Plastic Bank introduced a subscription program that small businesses can join to support better plastic collection.David explains that regeneration as a practice can provide prosperity for all. In the face of the systemic trainwreck threatening human, animal, and aquatic life on the planet, we need not just a recycling system but a functioning society built on shared values, not exclusion from the opportunity to earn, influence the direction of our communities, or the right to a healthy environment.
