Blockchain-based bottle deposit platform for plastic collection and poverty alleviation
Plastic Bank operates a social fintech platform that converts plastic waste collection into traceable income for participants in emerging markets. The tech stack is front-end heavy (Next.js, Vercel) with strong emphasis on content and social tooling (PostGPT, Adobe suite, TikTok, Instagram), reflecting a go-to-market model built on high-engagement campaigns and movement-building rather than enterprise SaaS infrastructure. Hiring velocity is accelerating in marketing (3 roles) and sales (2 roles) across Indonesia and Philippines, signaling expansion of collection operations and subscriber acquisition in key geographies.
