Phizz Has Gone Plastic Positive!
Phizz is committed to creating products that are good for your body and kinder to our planet. Our tubes are recyclable, but we wanted to find a way to do more. Today, we are thrilled to announce that we have partnered with the award-winning innovators at Plastic Bank® to become plastic positive. This means that for every tube of Phizz you purchase, over four times its weight in plastic waste will be collected, recycled and prevented from entering our ocean. That’s a grand total of 20,000 kilograms this year alone! But there’s more. Plastic Bank also improves the lives of its collectors by turning plastic waste into an economic resource for impoverished communities. Plastic Bank collectors receive a premium for the materials they collect which helps them provide basic family necessities such as groceries, cooking fuel, school tuition, and health insurance. The collected material is reborn as Social Plastic® which can be easily reintegrated into products and packaging as part of a closed-loop supply chain. “As founders of a growing young business, social responsibility is not always the easy route, but it is extremely important to us,” said Dan Cray, Phizz co-founder. “We are proud to have partnered with the eco-warriors at Plastic Bank to do our part in preventing plastic waste from polluting our oceans and making a difference in the lives of their collectors.” “At Plastic Bank we are on a mission to empower the world to stop ocean plastic, building a regenerative society and eradicating poverty,” said Yves Lesaffre, Head of Sales, Europe at Plastic Bank. “To meet this ambition, we need to develop close partnerships with other value-aligned organisations. We’re thrilled to have started recently a partnership with Phizz! In our first activation together, Phizz will contribute to extract over 1 million plastic bottles from the environment. A great gift for the world, and for our oceans!” Phizz believes in taking care of our planet and being kind to our neighbours.We are excited to begin this new journey and for you to join us on our mission to give back to our earth!
