Plastic Bank begins working in any new territory with the existing informal recycling communities, wherever possible. We train and certify local collection communities (collection community members and collection branches alike) for compliance with our code of conduct and acquaint them with the PlasticBank® app usage requirements to enable traceability. We incentivize collection benefits for existing members and attract new participants.

We also establish Community Partnerships with local schools, places of worship, establishments, and institutions to set up accessible collection branches. We raise awareness about the Social Recycling movement and encourage proper waste segregation in households to reduce plastic pollution.
