About PCX

PCX is on a mission to accelerate the transition to a circular economy and build a future where no plastic ends up in nature.

PCX began as a non-profit in the Philippines, one of the epicenters of the plastic pollution crisis. The company has enabled the clean up of 100 million kilograms of plastic waste globally. We are a global company with team members in the US, Argentina, the Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore.

Today there are two entities. PCX Markets is a fully transparent plastic credit marketplace for audited, traceable plastic waste recovery and responsible processing worldwide. Our marketplace activates an ecosystem of partners who collect, transport and responsibly process plastic waste, which is tracked and verified through the power of blockchain technology, while supporting communities on the ground with programs that improve livelihoods and scale social impact. PCX Solutions is a non profit organization that works with governments around the world on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes; helps companies understand their plastic footprint, implement reduction strategies and comply with existing and upcoming legislation; and manages a fully transparent, third-party audited Plastic Pollution Reduction Standard to ensure the impact and responsibility of plastic waste projects, channeling funding into recycling infrastructure and increasing socio economic benefits for the communities.

Our business, impact and team is growing and expanding rapidly around the world, and we are seeking a talented, entrepreneurial Sustainable Supply Specialist to help accelerate our mission. This role is based in Manila, Philippines.
