Achieving Neutrality -Fulfilling all your sustainability ambitions
Sometimes, ‘good enough’ doesn’t cut it. For firms hungry for excellence, why not consider our Plastic Neutral Certification— a mark above all others and relatively easy to attain.
Entities wishing to go Plastic Neutral require a full audit, which could be done in-house, through us, or a third party of your choice.
For audits produced in-house or via a third party, we will need a copy of this specific audit for verification before releasing the respective credit certificates.

Testimonials
"The antiques industry is arguably one of the most sustainable sectors, championing values such as repair, reuse, and upcycling. It thrives on increasing the value of second-hand objects, standing in stark contrast to the disposable culture of fast fashion and ever-changing technology.Despite this, I was taken aback by the results of a recent plastic audit—especially as I’ve always prioritized sustainability whenever possible. With Rob's assistance, we conducted a meticulous audit, recording every item involving plastic, from toiletries to event-use plastic cups, bubble wrap, disposable gloves, tape, chemical bottles, presentation sleeves, coffee pods—you name it.While I’ve already replaced some of these items with plastic-free alternatives, the total plastic consumption still amounted to a staggering 45 kilograms in a year! This exercise was eye-opening, underscoring the importance of continuously evaluating and improving sustainability practices." -Artemisia Fine Arts & Antiques Ltd. 04/12/2024
FAQs
What are plastic credits?
Our plastic credits work similarly to carbon offsets but specifically target plastic waste reduction. Individuals and businesses can actively contribute to cleaning the marine environment by earning and trading these credits. The plastic credits are certificates representing the collection in kilograms of plastic waste that would otherwise have polluted our natural environment. These credits aremeasurable, traceable, and verifiable.
How do Plastic Credits work?
Our initiative focuses on recycling plastic waste that would otherwise remain in the environment. We refer to this concept as ‘additionality,’ where only waste that would naturally end up in the environment without any intervention is considered.As a result of our efforts, we generate a certified plastic credit for each additional kilogram of plastic we recycle.
Who benefits from the sale of Plastic Credits?
Businesses and individuals can offset their plastic usage by purchasing plastic credits—for every unit of plastic consumed, an equivalent amount is recycled. The funds generated from these credits support essential infrastructure and contribute to cleaning up existing plastic waste. Even though you can’t eliminate plastic (it’s everywhere!), you can offset its impact through plastic credits.
How are Odyssey Innovation’s Plastic Credits generated?
Our Plastic Credits are unique in that they exclusively target plastic that would otherwise remain unrecycled- every penny goes towards empowering communities to recycle marine plastic waste by building and developing essential infrastructure.
Our recycling initiatives (NRS, MRS & P4P) work closely with beach clean groups, businesses, and fishing communities. We collaborate with over 20 NGOs, charities, and over 40 fishing communities to combat marine plastic pollution; last year alone, we collected, processed, and recycled 500,000 kilos of marine plastic through our Net and Marine Regeneration Scheme.
However, there’s still much more work to be done.
Our groundbreaking Plastic Credit program provides a simple and transparent way to get involved in the battle against plastic while safeguarding our precious marine ecosystems. By doing so, we can make our world a better place to live in now and in the future.
How does purchasing these credits make the Industry greener?
in plastic is significantly cheaper than its recycled counterpart, whose material has undergone significant processing and reprocessing before reaching the market; this often demotivates the industry to use it, particularly in mass-produced items where profit margins are already slim.
Increased recycling rates mean improved competitiveness for the circular economy and the recycled plastics market. This changes societal perceptions and definitions about waste and enables Industry to become greener thanks to lower material costs.
