This startup wants you to pay $8 a month to offset all the single-use plastic you consume

, a personal care products maker that doesn't use single-use plastics in its offerings has launched "Plastic, Neutral," a subscription service that allows customers to offset their single-use plastics footprint.

"We didn't create 'Plastic, Neutral' to sell more product," Bushell wrote to Business Insider in an email interview. "We created it to drive awareness around the global crisis of single-use plastic waste and give people a simple tool to do something about it." According to Bushell, $1 is the equivalent of retrieving and recycling 4.4 pounds of single-use plastic. Therefore, of the $8, $5 will go towards the "recovery of ocean-bound plastic," and $3 will go to "program administration," creating what Bushell calls a "bridge" to a no-waste future.
