OCEAN PLASTIC POLLUTION CONTINUES TO BE A CRITICAL PROBLEM
OCEAN PLASTIC POLLUTION CONTINUES TO BE A CRITICAL PROBLEM
IT'S TIME TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Every minute, one garbage truck of plastic is dumped into our oceans
By 2050, plastic will outweigh all of the fish in the ocean
Impoverished countries account for 60% of the world's plastic problem
They are without appropriate municipal recycling centers to collect post-consumer plastic
As part of our ongoing efforts to promote and incorporate sustainable decisions, processes, and products into our business,
Swish is proud to partner with Ralston and Plastic Bank® in their Social Plastic® initiative.
WHAT IS SOCIAL PLASTIC®?
Social Plastic® is ethically recovered material from the Plastic Bank ecosystem that transfers its value to communities in need.
(Everyday people are paid to collect discarded plastic and bring it to one of the "banks")

OCEAN PLASTIC SOLUTION
Social Plastic® is made from ocean-bound plastic.
The resin it produces helps provide income opportunities to impoverished worldwide communities and the fight against ocean plastic pollution.
SWISH SOLUTION
THE PROCESS
Plastic is collected by local families' ocean shores, rivers, bays, and streams in Haiti and is taken to Plastic Bank® centers (aka "Banks"). Here it is exchanged for tokens that locals use to buy goods, services, and food.
Plastic is then sorted, converted into pellet form, and reused in Social Plastic® garbage bags.
In partnership with our industrial liners provider, Swish is proud to be part of this solution. Not only about the pollution, but this fight is also strengthening impoverished communities, while cleaning oceans at the same time.
