What is a plastics credit system?

What is happening? TonToTon has a plastic credit system that “allows companies to take responsibility of the orphan plastics surrounding their products. While companies increase the amount of recycled plastic into their products, they can also take care of the non-recyclable plastics. Once the plastic is collected, we send the waste to be co-processed at cement factories.”

Why is this important? The “cleanest and safest method to get rid of harmful plastic waste in huge quantities“

How will this be important? TonToTon’s “…community waste pickers are trained, have personal protective equipment, access to healthcare, and competitive wages.”
