Brief Innovation

Plastic Offsetting is the act of purchasing Plastic Credits to offset a necessary plastic footprint. A Plastic credit represents 1,000kg plastic recovered directly from or intercepted from the marine environment through a SCS project.
Sale of Plastic Credits generates capital which can be invested in plastic leakage prevention and plastic recovery infrastructures.
