Introduction
About Executives Without Borders
We leverage our emerging market expertise and resources to bridge the gap between businesses, non-profit organizations, and communities, driving sustainable growth for all.
We started the Ramase Lajan program in 2011 with the help of our partners in Haiti. To date, our program has recycled more than 6 million pounds of plastic in Haiti and provided more than 1,600 Haitians with income opportunities.

About The Plastic Bank
The Plastic Bank is turning plastic waste into a currency to help reduce global poverty and plastic waste. It is setting up exchange centers for plastic waste in areas that have a high concentration of poverty and plastic pollution.
The Plastic Bank’s mandate is to provide a ladder of opportunity for the world’s poor to ascend from poverty by providing a reliable income. The exchange process for our recycled “Social Plastic®” improves the life of a disadvantaged person while cleaning our planet.
The goal of The Plastic Bank is to lead the movement towards a worldwide demand for the use of Social Plastic® in everyday products. The higher the demand becomes, the greater the social impact towards helping the world’s poor. Much of the world’s ocean plastic starts on land in developing countries. The Plastic Bank has created a system to prevent ocean bound plastic waste from being dumped into oceans, rivers and waterways by making it too valuable to throw away.
Fonctions
Help make plastic waste a currency in Haiti to reduce poverty.
As of March 2015, The Plastic Bank is bringing Social Plastic to Haiti through a partnership with Executives Without Borders and the Ramase Lajan program.
