The Market

A market the world needs but hasn't built yet.

Informal recyclers sorting plastic at a landfill
The Problem

Recovery is informal. Verification is missing.

In the developing economies where environmental plastic accumulates fastest, collection is informal, fragmented, and cash-based. Recycling margins are thin. Buyers can't verify what they're paying for.

The Opportunity

Regulation is forcing the market into existence.

EU Extended Producer Responsibility, the Philippines' EPR Act, and plastic-neutrality commitments from global brands have converted voluntary demand into structural demand. There's no trusted place to spend it.

The world lacks a scalable, verifiable system to price plastic waste and fund its recovery.

The Solution

One unified platform for plastic recovery, verification, and credit issuance.

PBRC operates the full stack — from the moment plastic is recovered to the moment a global brand reports its impact.
