In September 2022 Horus Pharma partnered with Plastic Bank to make an environmental and social impact.
Each year an estimated 10 million tons of plastic waste enters the ocean. As a Plastic Bank partner the Group is helping reduce this while, at the same time, helping people living in coastal communities in developing countries earn a secure income, plus related social benefits such as health insurance by collecting plastic waste from their local beaches, riverbanks and neighborhoods, cleaning it and taking it to an ethical plastic collection branch.
To date over 600 collection branches have been set up in SE Asia, Latin America and Africa and the number keeps increasing as more companies become involved.
The collected ocean-bound plastic is processed into Social Plastic® feedstock and entered into the global supply chain. By the autumn of 2022 Plastic Bank and their partners had prevented over 63,200 tons of plastic reaching the ocean.
