Plastiks: Fighting Plastic Waste on Cardano

Introducing André Vanyi‑Robin and Plastiks

André Vanyi‑Robin is the Founder and CEO of Plastiks, a Barcelona-based greentech company that fights plastic pollution. He leads the team in creating tools that help businesses turn real plastic recovery into clear, measurable environmental impact. 

How Plastiks Brings Accountability to Plastic Responsibility

Plastiks connects companies with verified recycling partners across over 20 countries. The platform tracks plastic collection and recycling and turns it into Plastic Credits—digital certificates that show exactly how much plastic is removed. Blockchain stores all data, making it transparent, auditable, and unchangeable. 

This system lets businesses prove their environmental efforts. It supports compliance with ESG reporting, anti-greenwashing rules, and extended producer responsibility (EPR) frameworks. 

Blockchain Technology Powers Traceability and Trust

Plastiks uses blockchain to record every kilogram of plastic recovered in a permanent, public ledger. Brands, auditors, and regulators can access the same source of truth, reducing errors and building trust. 

The platform also offers the Plastiks Web Widget, which lets companies show real-time sustainability metrics on their websites. This feature helps brands demonstrate verified recovery data to customers. 

Strategic Growth and Partnerships

Plastiks received over ₳650,000 (~$500K USD) in grants from Cardano’s Project Catalyst. These funds help expand the Plastic Credit Marketplace and the Plastic Credit ReFi protocol, making recovery efforts easier to track, fund, and report. 

The company partners with global brands such as Danone Spain and Bayer 04 Leverkusen. These collaborations help corporations reach sustainability goals with clear, audited data. 

Real-World Impact and Future Vision

Plastiks also helps communities benefit directly from recycling efforts. The platform ensures fair compensation for workers and makes previously hidden recovery work visible. 

As governments push for a global plastics treaty, Plastiks shows that blockchain can turn promises into measurable action. Companies can track progress, share real-time results, and comply with regulations with confidence.
