"One of the key reasons why plastic credits are important is that they provide a tangible mechanism for companies to invest in infrastructure, collection, and recycling projects focused on plastic waste. By purchasing plastic credits, organisations contribute to the development of systems that collect and process plastic while also supporting the workers involved, particularly in developing countries. This not only helps to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste but also promotes sustainable development and improves the livelihoods of those involved in waste management."

"Plastic credits encourage companies to adopt a holistic approach to addressing plastic waste. They incentivise the prioritisation of reduction strategies, such as eliminating unnecessary packaging and promoting supply chain circularity. Plastic credits should be seen as complementary to reduction efforts, providing an additional tool to offset the plastic that is still being produced while progress is made toward long-term sustainability goals. By embracing plastic credits, businesses can make meaningful contributions to addressing the plastic waste crisis while fostering positive social and environmental change."
