Plastic waste is flooding our planet — polluting land, choking oceans, harming ecosystems, blocking infrastructure, and threatening public health. Despite growing awareness, individual action remains low — because there’s no clear incentive to act.
plasticompACT! is a social startup that transforms plastic trash into economic and social value.
Through our mobile app, individuals earn a digital token — plastico — by collecting and properly disposing of plastic waste. These tokens can be:
• Redeemed for discounts at local businesses
• Donated to charity
• Exchanged into micro-income (real or crypto currency)
We connect individuals, businesses, and communities in a circular economy powered by clean-up action. And we empower all participants to turn their action into value and earn from it.
We give trash a value. We make trash a currency.
Micro action, micro rewarded. Atomic habits to #decluttertheplanet.
