Plastics pollution is an equity issue.

It is often less expensive to produce items with plastic than their non-plastic equivalents. As a result, low-income households are often at increased risk of exposure to micro- and nanoplastic particles on a daily basis. PlastX uses its platform to work with businesses and organizations to improve access to plastic-reduction processes within the home with the goal of creating healthier living spaces. We do this by hosting community “trade-in” events, where people can bring their household items made of plastic and trade them in for non-plastic versions of those items free of charge.
