With blockchain, ocean plastic has met its bottleneck.

What’s a great way to celebrate World Oceans Day? Honor the people and businesses working to save our oceans. One company’s solution is simple—Plastic Bank is incentivizing people to keep plastic on land by turning it into a new kind of currency. In developing countries, locals can bring their plastic waste to a collection center and trade it for digital tokens leveraging IBM Blockchain technology that can be exchanged for goods from participating merchants. In regions where bank accounts are rare, and crime and corruption are prevalent, Plastic Bank’s blockchain-powered currency offers a secure, portable alternative. With their mission to keep oceans clean while financially empowering communities, Plastic Bank is more than deserving of World Oceans Day accolades.
