The next generation of business is regeneration
Small businesses account for 90 per cent of the global business
community, but many struggle to grow, let alone find impactful ways
to address environmental and social challenges. Plastic Bank’s
Impact Subscription addresses this unmet need by empowering
entrepreneurs to help end poverty, stop plastic pollution, and grow
their businesses with purpose.
“In waiting for more big businesses to become regenerative, we
are ignoring the immense potential of small businesses to drive a
meaningful transition toward a purpose economy,” said David Katz,
Founder and CEO of Plastic Bank. “If we provide entrepreneurs with
the guidance and resources to integrate purpose into their business
and help them build a tribe of like-minded customers who recognize
and reward this shift, we can drive unprecedented growth and
impact. It’s a win-win-win for the people, the planet, and the
businesses.”
Impact Subscription guarantees the traceable collection of a
pre-set amount of plastic bottles by Plastic Bank’s collection
community members. Gathered plastic is exchanged by members for
money and social benefits, including health, work and life
insurance, digital connectivity, grocery vouchers, school supplies,
and fintech services.
“Plastic Bank is one of the most effective and important social
impact initiatives around and something very close to our heart. We
love supporting Plastic Bank, not only to look after the planet but
also to lead by example, at least in our industry, amongst our
clients, suppliers and other stakeholders,” said Louis Beaumont,
Managing Director and Co-Founder of Hive Cleaning, the
highest-scoring B Corp certified cleaning company in the UK and an
Impact Subscriber with Plastic Bank.
Through their Impact Account, small businesses get access to
tools and resources that help effectively communicate their
commitment to regenerative practices and the purpose economy. These
include authentic stories, photos, videos, and social media content
from collection communities; dedicated web pages showcasing their
real-time tangible impact; ready-to-deploy in-store materials for
retailers; and downloadable impact certificates showcasing the
amount of plastic the business has helped gather from the
environment.
The 2022 Google Cloud Study reveals that 82 per cent of shoppers
support brands that align with their values, 66 per cent search for
eco-friendly brands, and 55 per cent say they would pay a premium
for sustainable products.
