Three-Step High Efficiency Supply Chain | Fair Pricing
Easy as 1-2-3. Our 3-step supply (collector > hub > processor) puts the economics into the Circular Economy:
PlastX bypasses the layers of middlemen that add complexity and cost to the supply chain.
You get quality material without the premium others charge, while our Collectors earn more for their work.
Made for Asia
Conceived and constructed for Asia. Trialed and validated in two countries.
Malaysia
In July 2023, PlastX deployed to Malaysia - the world's third-greatest contributor to marine plastic pollution. The PlastX Project, Malaysia sourced quality PET at market rates for our customer, while providing significantly enhanced earnings for Collectors.
India
In our 2020 pilot program in northern India, 10 PlastX Collectors worked for 78 days, amassing almost 4 tonnes of quality PET for our buyer, and removing around 100,000 ocean bound bottles from the environment.
ONLY PLASTX IS DEMAND-LED
making it THE MOST impactful program of its kind.
With all collected material going directly to businesses that want to use it, plastic is not stockpiled - where leakage is a risk - and will never be sent to landfill or incinerated. 100% repurposed!
PLASTX COLLECTORS ENJOY FAIR MARKET PRICES Because PlastX streamlines the supply chain, there's more to pay Collectors. No more haggling for a fair deal.
And, with the adults earning more for their work, kids can be at school, where they belong.
No children are permitted to collect for PlastX.
