Plastic Pollution Reduction Standard
Plastic Pollution Reduction Standard (PPRS) is a framework designed by PCX Solutions to certify projects that focus on the collecting, transporting, and processing post-consumer plastic waste, along with issuing plastic credits.
STANDARD OVERVIEW
Plastic Pollution Reduction Standard (PPRS) from PCX Solutions certifies projects dedicated to the recovery and diversion of post-consumer plastic waste while issuing plastic credits as part of the initiative. To ensure true environmental impact, each project must demonstrate "additionality," which are a genuine reduction in plastic waste and meet strict compliance requirements.
PPRS is also focused on worker safety and fairness within waste management projects, mandating protections around health and safety, gender equality, and social inclusion. Every project’s standards are validated by third-party auditors.
