David Katz, Founder and CEO Plastic Bank has a big vision. Imagine having a vision so strong, so big that you are committed to stopping ocean plastic by gathering a BILLION people together to monetize waste while improving lives. Imagine Plastic Bank. Imagine saying that the very LAST thing we need to do is clean the ocean. Instead of getting plastic out, David Katz makes the compelling case that the solutions lie in not putting it in there in the first place. But how? Create the world’s largest chain of stores for the ultra-poor where everything in the store is available to be purchased using plastic garbage. And I mean everything – from school tuition to electric power to medical insurance to Wi-Fi and the beat goes on. It means a great deal that Plastic Bank is globally recognized as one of the most important solutions to stop ocean plastic in the world today.
