Through our unique Plastic Neutral Program we are supporting businesses and companies to achieve key Sustainable Development Goals.

Provenance stories & media content for each community program will promote local culture, certify ethical production and encourage eco-tourism.
Target 14: Life Below Water: (14.1) PC’s Resource Recovery programs will prevent and significantly reduce plastic marine pollution and marine debris from land-based activities, as these programs will be primarily located in communities where 100% of waste plastics are regularly discarded directly into the environment.
Target 17: Partnership for the Goals: (17.1) PC’s Ethical Plastic programs provide a diverse range of partnerships and international collaboration with remote developing communities, providing revenue channels and improved domestic capacity.
