Proof, Not Promises: Veteran-Owned GEIS and $PLASTIC Make First Public Statement — Founder Locks Nearly 7 Million Tokens Into Liquidity for Life after burning 15 Million.
--
FIRST PUBLIC RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — MARCH 30, 2026
ISSUED BY: $PLASTIC / PLASTICCTO & PLASTIC IMPACT NETWORK (PIN)
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH: GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT SOLUTIONS (GEIS), TREEGENS FOUNDATION, MONTHLY EARTH DAY & LIMITLESS SOUL JOURNEY
We Are $PLASTIC. We Built the Proof. Now We Are Bringing It to the World Stage.
The first public statement from $PLASTIC, Plastic Impact Network, and the veteran-owned ecosystem behind them. A completed plastic credit protocol. A founder who locked nearly 7 million tokens into liquidity for life. A GEIS pledge to feed Plastic Credit sales back into the community pool. Partnerships with organizations doing real work on the ground. And in five weeks — Consensus Miami. This is not a debut. This is proof.
We Were Never Just a Token.
$PLASTIC began as an emotional truth — a community-driven declaration that the public is done accepting vague environmental claims, offset systems with no chain of custody, and credit markets built on assumption rather than evidence. What started as an impact meme became a movement. And what became a movement is now becoming infrastructure.
That signal has been growing quietly. A 30x market cap gain that held without a single paid promotion. Without bots. Without shill campaigns. A holder base made up of people who read the documentation, understood what was being built beneath the token, and made the decision to hold conviction rather than trade noise.
Today — March 30, 2026 — we make our first formal public statement. Not because we needed the attention. Because the work is ready to be seen.
In five weeks, $PLASTIC, Plastic Impact Network, and GEIS will be at Consensus Miami (May 5–7) and Solana Accelerate. Before the conferences begin, on May 4th, the team meets directly with MRFs — Material Recovery Facilities — and recycling company partners to activate real operational counterparties behind the Plastic Impact Protocol. This is not a roadshow. This is the pilot phase becoming real.
The Ecosystem: Three Layers. One Mission.
$PLASTIC is powered by three connected entities, each with a defined role, a real legal structure, and a shared commitment to turning environmental accountability into documented, verifiable, registry-backed proof.
→ $Plastic / PlasticCTO is the community and governance-alignment token on Solana. It is the public engine — the cultural movement that gives the mission its voice, its holders, and the demand that makes everything else matter. (plasticthewhalekiller.com)
→ Plastic Impact Network, LLC (PIN) is the brand and business layer. PIN owns the $PLASTIC branding, IP, and music licensing, and serves as the commercial bridge between the protocol infrastructure and the public movement. PIN coordinates outreach, partnerships, and the ecosystem’s public identity. (plasticimpactnetwork.com)
→ Global Environmental Impact Solutions, LLC (GEIS) is the environmental infrastructure layer. GEIS owns and administers the Plastic Impact Protocol v3 — a completed, governing standard for how plastic impact is measured, validated, verified, issued as a Plastic Impact Credit, and retired through a registry that serves as the permanent legal source of truth for every unit. (GEISolutions.com)
At the center of all three is Yerahmeel Ben-Yehudah — an autistic savant, 100% service-disabled veteran, and the founder and CEO of both GEIS and PIN. His CTO, Julian Walle, is a 20-year decorated combat veteran. GEIS holds SDVOSB certification — Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business — a structural designation that opens federal contracting pathways, mandated set-asides, and grant access that most companies in this space cannot touch.
Yerahmeel has applied to speak at Consensus Miami — because the stage matters, and the story is ready for it.
Service above self is not a slogan here. It is the operating principle embedded in every evidence standard, every chain-of-custody requirement, and every claims control in the Plastic Impact Protocol.
The Founder Locked Nearly 7 Million Tokens Into Liquidity. For Life after burning nerly 15 Million.
In a space where most founders quietly sell their token allocations on the way up, Yerahmeel Ben-Yehudah did the opposite.
Before this press release was written. Before Consensus Miami. Before a single journalist responded to a pitch. He took nearly 7 million $PLASTIC tokens from his own personal holdings, matched them with $1,000 in SOL from the dev wallet after an indisputable community vote, added the combined position to PumpSwap as liquidity on Live on video, and locked it permanently on-chain. Now that’s mission focus with transparency.
Not for 30 days. Not for 6 months. Not until a milestone is hit. For life.
This is what conviction looks like when it is not a marketing claim. The founder cannot rug. The liquidity cannot be pulled. The proof is on the blockchain — publicly visible, permanently recorded, and verifiable by anyone in the world right now.
🔒 LOCKED FOR LIFE 🔒 Nearly 7 million $PLASTIC tokens from the founder’s own personal holdings, matched with $1,000 SOL from the dev wallet — added to PumpSwap liquidity and permanently locked on-chain. Irrevocable. Forever. Verifiable by anyone on Solscan right now.
Both lock transactions are recorded on Solscan. Copy either link below into your browser and verify it yourself. No trust required.
Lock Transaction 1:
Lock Transaction 2:
That is two on-chain records. One permanent decision. Zero ability to walk it back.
The GEIS Pledge: Plastic Credit Sales Flow Back to the Community.
The creator fee structure already routes a portion of ecosystem proceeds back through the $PLASTIC community. But GEIS has made an additional pledge that goes further.
As GEIS activates pilot projects, onboards recycling counterparties, and begins issuing Plastic Impact Credits into the voluntary market and to corporate buyers — a portion of those credit sales will be contributed directly into the $PLASTIC liquidity pool.
🌊 THE GEIS PLEDGE 🌊 GEIS has pledged to contribute a portion of Plastic Impact Credit sales revenue directly into the $PLASTIC liquidity pool — on top of what already flows through the creator fee structure. Every credit sold. Every verified tonne of plastic impact documented. A portion comes back to the community that made the mission possible.
This pledge connects the two sides of the ecosystem in a way that is rare in the ReFi space. The community token is not just a symbol of the mission, it is structurally tied to the commercial success of the infrastructure that makes the mission real. When GEIS sells verified plastic credits, the community that built the demand for those credits participates in the outcome.
$PLASTIC holders are not passengers. They are the reason the market exists. And GEIS is committed to making sure the community that drove that demand shares in what it produces.
What the Plastic Impact Protocol Actually Is
The voluntary plastic credit market has a credibility problem. Credits are sold. Claims are made. But the chain of custody between a piece of plastic collected from a riverbank and a sustainability report filed in a corporate headquarters is often thin, opaque, or entirely unverifiable.
The Plastic Impact Protocol v3 was built to end that problem; not by calling it out, but by building the infrastructure that makes greenwashing structurally impossible.
→ 1 Plastic Impact Credit (PIC) = 1 metric tonne of verified plastic impact
→ Active issuance classes: PIC-C (plastic collection above baseline) and PIC-MR (mechanical recycling)
→ Full chain-of-custody documentation from collection source through qualified downstream management
→ Independent MRV — Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification — requirements at every stage
→ Anti-double-counting controls and registry discipline that produce a permanent, auditable record
→ Structural compatibility with future third-party certification frameworks including potential Verra migration pathways
175 nations are currently negotiating a legally binding UN Global Plastics Treaty. What that treaty will require, and what the voluntary market already demands, is exactly what the Plastic Impact Protocol produces: traceable, independently verified, registry-controlled evidence.
GEIS is not building to catch up to those requirements. It is building ahead of them.
Our Partners: The Coalition Building Real Impact
$PLASTIC and PIN do not operate alone, and we never wanted to. The scale of the plastic pollution problem demands coalition across sectors, disciplines, and communities. These are the organizations we are proud to be building with.
Treegens Foundation — Reforestation and ecosystem restoration that connects directly to GEIS’s Collection Class methodology. Cleanup work conducted alongside Treegens restoration projects can be registered, verified, and credited under PIC-C — turning two missions into one coordinated, evidence-backed operation across landscapes burdened by both deforestation and plastic pollution.
Monthly Earth Day — A Non-Profit organization that understands the relationship between environmental health, human wellbeing, and collective action — and reaches communities where that message matters most. Monthly Earth Day brings recurring mobilization energy to the mission and connects $PLASTIC’s accountability movement to people taking action on the ground every single month.
Limitless Soul Journey — A Non-Profit organization that reaches communities traditional environmental organizations often miss entirely. Limitless Soul Journey represents the kind of coalition $PLASTIC was built for — broad, human, and grounded in the understanding that environmental accountability is not a niche cause. It is a universal one.
We are actively onboarding more. Recycling companies. Logistics partners. Municipal governments. Impact investors. Cleanup organizations. If you are doing real work in the plastic pollution space — or adjacent to it — our door is open.
Why Solana. Why Now. Why Miami.
$PLASTIC chose Solana not for the speculation, but for the infrastructure. Blockchain’s immutability, transparency, and programmability make it the ideal foundation for registry infrastructure that needs to be trusted by governments, corporate buyers, and communities simultaneously. Solana’s speed and cost efficiency make it the right chain for the high-volume, evidence-based credit issuance that real-world plastic accountability demands.
Consensus Miami and Solana Accelerate are where the builders who understand that infrastructure gather. The team will be on the ground meeting recycling partners, discussing MOU and contract structures with potential credit buyers, connecting with impact investors and ReFi community members, and representing the $PLASTIC ecosystem — not as a project looking for attention, but as a protocol ready for partners.
