You may or may not have heard about plastic crediting and plastic neutrality; they are newcomers in the world of sustainability titles. The way it works is, a credit holder can offset the amount of plastic waste they generate via plastic offset credit schemes. For example, a company could ‘offset’ its plastic production by buying the credit for plastic to be collected at the equivalent amount of which produced. Is this all starting to sound very familiar? Have you heard of carbon offsets? Well, this is pretty much the same proposal, a recycled idea at best.
