With “deep respect for the ocean” coming from its rich fishing heritage, Fisher Retail Inc. has signed an environmental disposal agreement with social financial technology company, Plastic Bank, to help stop 11,000 kilograms of plastic—the equivalent of 550,000 plastic bottles—from reaching the ocean. Fisher Retail that is “rooted in the fishing industry” will fund the collection of discarded “rigid/flexible plastic material” through the collection communities under Plastic Bank, to help reduce plastic pollution in the country and alleviate poverty among the members of the communities.
