Product description

IMPAC+™ by Oceanworks (Plastic waste removal offsets) is a groundbreaking solution that tackles the pressing issue of plastic pollution in our oceans. This proprietary plastic-waste offsetting program, similar to carbon credits but with a focus on plastic action, allows brands to take meaningful steps towards environmental sustainability.

IMPAC+™ enables companies to contribute to the verified collection and proper disposal of ocean-bound plastic that cannot be easily replaced within their supply chain. By targeting plastic waste from communities without formal waste management systems, the program directs funds towards removing materials directly from waterways, shorelines, and coastal areas.

Each dollar invested in IMPAC+™ is directly linked to the quantifiable collection of plastic waste, measured in pounds, and is authenticated through the Plastic Offset Registry. Participating partners gain access to real-time impact data and traceability reports, facilitating transparent communication with stakeholders.

Launched to overcome the challenges of limited recycled resin availability, IMPAC+™ empowers companies to offset their plastic footprint, enhance their environmental credentials, and support local economies, even if their products do not contain recycled content. This trusted intervention aligns with global initiatives to reduce plastic pollution and delivers tangible environmental benefits to enhance brand sustainability strategies.
