Plastic Neutral Weddings: A Sustainable Celebration

Weddings, especially in India, generate massive plastic waste from disposable cutlery, packaging, and decorations. Single-use plastics and food waste contribute to environmental harm, filling landfills and polluting ecosystems.

To counter this, many couple are investing in Plastic Credits to Neutralize their wedding’s Plastic Footprint, making their wedding ‘Plastic Neutral.’

By choosing effective waste management approaches and collaborating with waste management organizations, Pranshu & Baliyan Family has set a benchmark by concluding a 100% Plastic Neutral Wedding.

What is Plastic Neutrality

Plastic neutrality is a concept aimed at reducing the environmental impact of plastic usage. It involves offsetting the amount of unavoidable plastic generated or used by individuals, businesses, or organizations by investing in projects that reduce, recover, or recycle an equivalent amount of plastic from the environment.

Essentially, it’s a way to balance out the negative effects of plastic consumption by supporting initiatives that mitigate plastic pollution. This can include projects such as beach clean-ups, waste management infrastructure development, or investments in technologies for plastic recycling.

FAQs

Plastic neutrality means that for every amount of plastic created, an equal amount of plastic waste is retrieved from the environment to be appropriately disposed of - either recycled or repurposed. We work with brands to calculate their plastic footprint and recover the equivalent amount from the environment in high leakage countries, such as Indonesia or India. Some brands want to go further and recover more plastic than they emit, earning them Plastic Neutral + status. . Every contribution directly prevents plastic from entering our oceans and supports the development of local waste management infrastructure.
To stop plastic from entering the environment, we need to get to a point where the material is collected as close to the consumer as possible, and intercepted before it can reach the ocean. The majority of our plastic efforts are door-to-door collection or other smart ways to aggregate waste in one point. We also finance projects with passive technologies that catch plastic in rivers. The smallest fraction of plastic stems from beach cleanups or is directly sourced from the ocean.
