Plastics Neutrality Defined:
A company achieves plastics neutrality by offsetting the amount of plastic it produces or consumes by funding the removal and responsible reuse of an equal amount of plastic waste from the environment.
The benefits of being a plastic Neutral Company:
1. Commitment to Circular Sustainability
As a manufacturer, going plastics neutral signals a shift from linear to circular production—supporting systems where plastic waste is not just collected but converted into a valuable resource like pyrolysis oil, promoting resource regeneration.
2. Direct Environmental Impact
The process involves removing ocean-bound and landfill plastic waste, often in underserved regions, ensuring this plastic is collected, cleaned, and repurposed instead of polluting ecosystems.
4. Conversion into Pyrolysis Oil
Collected plastic is recycled through pyrolysis, a chemical process that transforms non-recyclable plastics into pyrolysis oil—a low-sulfur, high-value industrial fuel and a sustainable alternative to virgin fossil fuels.
5. The Power of CSR Plastic Credits
Companies invest in CSR Plastic Credits, where 10 credits = 1 kilogram of plastic removed and recycled. These credits prove and quantify the company’s commitment to measurable sustainability.
6. High Return on Impact Allocation
The current market value of these CSR credits is 5 times higher than the production cost of the resulting pyrolysis oil—creating both environmental and financial value for participating companies.
7. Consumer Trust and Loyalty
Sustainability-conscious consumers reward transparency and accountability. Plastic neutrality builds trust, improves brand reputation, and often leads to increased customer retention and sales.
8. Meeting ESG and Regulatory Expectations
Plastics neutrality aligns with global ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) standards and prepares companies for incoming regulations around plastic waste accountability and reporting.
9. Tangible Carbon and Waste Footprint Reduction
By converting waste into fuel, companies not only reduce plastic pollution but also cut down on emissions associated with virgin plastic production, supporting global climate goals.
10. Leadership in a Circular Economy Future
Becoming plastics neutral sets your company apart as a climate-conscious innovator and early adopter of circular solutions—attracting investors, partners, and customers who value long-term commitment to sustainability.
