POLLAST!C Poly Mailers

An estimated 8-12 million tonnes of plastic enters our oceans every year and this is expected to triple by 2040.

Over 70% of that plastic enters oceans via land and over 80% of that comes from Asia. That's why we focus our collection efforts in Southeast Asian coastal communities.

Pollution and poverty are often inextricably linked – and waste management infrastructure is often non-existent in these communities. Plastic rubbish is usually littered, burnt or buried (in piles for livestock and dogs to ferret in).

If instead we can provide an economic incentive for people to pick it up and collect it, we can stop it from entering the ocean. ​

By working closely and responsibly with communities in these areas, we can clean up the environment AND have positive social impact.

When we commit to purchasing the plastic pollution they collect, we provide a consistent source of income and help raise their standards of living.​

Independent Life Cycle Analysis has shown POLLAST!C mailers to be the lowest carbon form of packaging currently commercially available.

By switching from poly mailers made of raw virgin plastic to POLLAST!C, you will be lowering your company's carbon footprint.

The process of removing plastic pollution from the environment and recycling it into POLLAST!C packaging helps progress towards many of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

Packaging materials perform differently, are best suited for different applications and some are cheaper than others. We've put together this handy 'Quick Comparison Guide' to help you find the best solution for your brand.
