Can a person become a member without creating an account in the PlasticBank® App?

Plastic Bank membership is open to any 18+ age-verified individual who wants to collect and exchange ocean-bound plastic in its areas of operation. Our collection branches initiate every exchange in the PlasticBank® app and can register new members who do not own a smartphone. Registrations are subject to verification. 

Non-app users are able to redeem their collection benefits through Plastic Bank’s automatic end-of-month redemption disbursement services, or at special redemption locations. Members are also offered digital connectivity through subsidized smartphones at participating locations.

Our app allows members to:

  • find the nearest collection branch to exchange collected plastic
  • access their secured digital wallet
  • view exchange and earnings history
  • connect their Plastic Bank savings wallet to a local digital payment / bank account for local usage
