PCX Markets Joins 1% for the Planet as an Approved Impact Partner

We are proud to announce that PCX Markets has joined 1% for the Planet as an approved Impact Partner.

This partnership gives 1% for the Planet members a new way to support credible, measurable action on plastic waste, and helps PCX Markets build relationships with companies that share our commitment to a future where no plastic ends up in nature.

Turning corporate commitments into environmental action

1% for the Planet is an accountability partner for businesses committed to supporting environmental solutions. Its members direct at least 1% of their annual revenue - not profits - to vetted environmental organizations around the world.

Founded in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, 1% for the Planet has certified more than $870 million in member contributions to date.

“The intent of 1% for the Planet is to help fund these diverse environmental organizations so that collectively they can be a more powerful source in solving the world’s problems,” writes Yvon Chouinard, co-founder of 1% for the Planet.

To become an approved Impact Partner, PCX Markets completed 1% for the Planet’s rigorous Certification & Vetting Standard. The three-pillar process evaluates organizations across Legal Accountability, Organizational Credibility and Solutions Alignment.

Advancing verified action on plastic waste

PCX Markets’ mission is to build a future where no plastic ends up in nature. Our global plastic responsibility platform helps companies reduce their plastic footprint, meet evolving packaging compliance and extended producer responsibility ( EPR) requirements, and fund independently audited plastic cleanup projects.

To date, PCX Markets has helped divert more than 550 million pounds (253 million kilograms) of plastic waste through 54 verified projects in 16 countries. Recovery results are independently audited and recorded in our transparent public registry, giving companies and other stakeholders clear evidence of the impact delivered.

“Plastic pollution is a global challenge that requires businesses to invest in credible, measurable solutions,” said Sebastian DiGrande, CEO of PCX Markets. “We have always admired how 1% for the Planet accelerates smart environmental impact, and we are incredibly proud to be part of the global community making it happen. We look forward to building direct relationships with member businesses that share our commitment to a future where no plastic ends up in nature.”
