What are Plastic Credits?

Why purchase Plastic Credits?

These credits are measurable, verifiable, and transferable units that represent a specific amount of plastic collected from the environment or recycled. At Climeto, we view plastic credits as a chance for companies to invest in local collection and recycling infrastructure. This helps companies contribute to a circular economy beyond their current reduction and redesign efforts. We believe plastic credits should complement and strengthen Extended Producer Responsibility regulations.

Why purchase Plastic Credits?

Regional waste management infrastructure often lacks the capacity to handle and recycle all the plastic waste we produce. Currently, we depend on regional governments to manage our waste, without coordination with the companies that design the products and packaging. Extended Producer Responsibility legislation provides a local, mandatory approach. In contrast, Plastic Credits offer a supplementary or integrated voluntary solution with international standards. Companies can manage their plastic footprint by purchasing plastic credits from certified projects that enhance regional collection and recycling infrastructure, while also supporting community development.
