PCX Markets

What PCX Markets does

PCX Markets is a Singapore-incorporated, privately held global plastics responsibility platform founded in 2019 by Nanette Medved-Po and led by CEO Sebastian DiGrande. The company combines four core product pillars: Responsibility Intelligence (enterprise SaaS for Extended Producer Responsibility compliance across 49+ markets), PCX Circular Plastic (certified recycled resin supply in PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP, and PE), a Recovery Marketplace for verified plastic credits covering 54 projects in 16 countries, and a forthcoming Brand Impact Studio. Underlying technology organizes SKU-level packaging data across jurisdictions, generates audit-grade multi-jurisdictional EPR reports, models source-reduction scenarios to minimize compliance fees, and publishes transactions through a public registry for transparency.

Revenue is generated through five streams: transaction fees on verified plastic credits, subscription fees for the EPR compliance SaaS, unit sales of recycled resins, managed PRO services delivered by affiliated PCX Solutions in the Philippines, and professional services for policy advisory and EPR capacity building. Customers span multinational CPG and FMCG brands (L'Oréal, Colgate-Palmolive, Starbucks, Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly-Clark, Mondelēz, FrieslandCampina, Thrive Market) and 100+ Philippine Obliged Enterprises under RA 11898 (Mr. DIY, Century Pacific, Monde Nissin, Domino's, Beko, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines, among others).

The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with dedicated account managers, community-led engagement through quarterly PCX PULSE events and BCG thought leadership collaborations, and event-driven demand generation via webinars on California SB54, EU PPWR/CSRD, and US EPR compliance. PCX is a certified B Corporation with 11-50 employees across offices in Wilmington (Delaware), Singapore, and Manila.
