Introducing PCX Circular Plastic, A Transparent Solution for Sourcing Recycled Content & Fighting Plastic Pollution

Businesses worldwide want to reduce their environmental impact, cut virgin plastic use, and help address the growing plastic pollution crisis that threatens our planet. Finding diversified sources of recycled content, however, is a challenge. Companies also want to ensure that their recycled raw materials are responsibly sourced

We’re excited to launch PCX Circular Plastic, a pioneering solution that gives brands the opportunity to fund the collection and recycling of plastic waste through audited plastic credits, and source a steady supply of recycled resin from verified PCX Markets recycling partners.

Companies that purchase PCX Circular Plastic can be sure the post-consumer recycled content they’re buying comes from recycling projects that have been audited according to rigorous, third-party plastic crediting standards.  What’s more, it’s all transparent - the details of our credit sales, which are bundled with the recycled feedstock, are recorded in our public registry. The entire process can be tracked, traced and verified.

Verified Impact and Scalable Solutions

The world has produced about 9 billion metric tons of plastic since the 1950s. Today, only 9% of plastic waste is recycled, 19% incinerated, and 72% landfilled, dumped, openly burned or ends up in the environment, with detrimental effects on our ecosystems and human populations. 

The UN estimates we need to invest $1.64 trillion to beat plastic pollution by 2040. The biggest need is in the Global South, which lacks waste management infrastructure and bears the brunt of the plastic crisis. Emerging markets, however, received only 6% of plastic circularity investments between 2018 and 2023, according to a report by The Circulate Initiative. 

Verified plastic credits can help close the funding gap, connecting brands that want to fund downstream cleanup with project partners that need additional funding.  

By bundling plastic credits with recycled resin produced by the same project partners, PCX is able to provide businesses with a proven, audited and scalable solution to meet both upstream virgin plastic reduction targets and downstream recovery goals.
