The Plaf - The Plastic Flamingo Philippines, Inc.

The Plastic Flamingo is a social enterprise that tackles marine plastic pollution through the collection of plastic wastes and recycling/upcycling them into eco-products.

How We Started

During their one-year honeymoon, cycling from France to Cambodia, founders Francois & Charlotte were mesmerized by nature showing itself at its best and at the same time being confronted with how mass consumerism and the production of cheap plastic has led to enormous plastic waste pollution we all know today. 

This led to the creation of The Plaf, also known as The Plastic Flamingo, a social enterprise based in the Philippines that collects and transforms plastic waste into a range of sustainable construction materials which can be used to build new schools, housing, and shelters to help make this country more resilient against its many natural hazards the country faces yearly.
