The partnership with Plastic Bank will ensure that plastic sold by it are completely recycled and converted into Social Plastic. In addition to providing environmental and social benefits, the program will enable people living in coastal communities in developing countries earn a secure income. It aims to work and act together to reduce the environmental footprint and collaborate on supporting ecologically-responsible practices.

According to Claude Claret, CEO and co-founder, Horus Pharma, the partnership has committed to recycle nearly 100 tons of plastic before it reaches the ocean, before the end of the current year. This is equivalent to nearly 5 million half-a-litre plastic bottles.
