SETTING THE STANDARD
PLASTIC POLLUTION
REDUCTION STANDARD
PCX was the first in the world to publish a Standard in March of 2020. The Plastic Pollution Reduction Standard provides a framework for the implementation of a credible and verifiable plastic offsetting program. Our comprehensive approach to solution sets means our network of partners provides a safe and transparent system of physically collecting, transporting, and processing plastic waste to prevent leakage into nature.

PLASTIC FOOTPRINT
PCX, together with an accredited 3rd party auditor, will map your plastic footprint using PCX’s Plastic Footprint Calculator to determine a baseline and understand the use cases to solve for.
GOAL SETTING & MAPPING
Once footprint is analyzed and challenges are considered, goals are mapped for short, medium and long-term execution and solutions are canvassed.
ACTIVATE ECOSYSTEM
Once goals have been identified, PCX activates its ecosystem to execute on the plan.
VERIFY & REPORT IMPACT
PPRS provides end-to-end tracking with proof of origin, type of plastic, weight, processing, and environmental compliance certifications on our blockchain-protected public registry ensuring transparency across
the entire process.
