What is the PCX Plastic Responsibility Project?
PCX is all about helping companies take real action on plastic responsibility. It’s not just talk — it’s a full-on approach that covers everything from understanding a company’s plastic footprint, meeting Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements, to sourcing certified recycled resin and funding verified recovery projects. Each solution can stand alone or work together as a connected system designed to keep plastic out of nature and support local communities. And here’s the kicker: once the impact is verified, PCX’s Brand Impact Studio steps in to help companies share their story — built on traceable data, honest storytelling, and powerful images — showing how their investment is making a measurable difference for people and the planet.
Main Benefits and Key Figures
Here’s a quick snapshot of what PCX brings to the table:
- Global reach across 14 countries
- 42 active projects making a difference
- Almost 160 million kilograms of plastic diverted from nature (159,966,864 KGs to be exact!)
These numbers aren’t just stats — they represent real, tangible progress in the fight against plastic pollution.
How Does PCX’s Process Work?
The process is straightforward but powerful. First up, there’s the Audit Footprint step, where PCX helps companies assess their plastic footprint across their entire enterprise. Sometimes, they bring in a third-party auditor for that independent verification — because transparency matters.
Next, companies Set Goals. This isn’t about vague promises; it’s about crafting a comprehensive plastic responsibility strategy with clear, aggressive, yet achievable goals. These goals cover both upstream reduction and downstream recovery of plastic footprints.
Then comes the exciting part: Activate Ecosystem. Companies get to select and purchase credits from a wide range of fully accredited projects. These projects handle the collection, transport, and responsible processing of plastics — tailored to the company’s needs and focused on countries and markets that matter most.
Finally, PCX Verifies & Reports Impact. Every purchase is fully verified according to global standards or relevant government regulations. Plus, all details and documentation are posted on a public registry — talk about accountability!
