Plastic Reduction Project
Profile Details
Organization's Full Name
Plastic Reduction Project
If your organization could achieve one thing in this world, what would it be?
Eliminate single-use plastics in favor of reusable options.
List 3 specific ways you are working to achieve your big goal/ mission.
Three of our main initiatives are to: 1. Free consultations to local restaurants to help them profitably convert from using single-use plastics (straws, cups, plastic forks, etc.) to reusable options (glasses, silverware, etc.) 2. Crowdsourcing sustainability reviews on restaurants. Each review generates plastic offset credits, but also populates a database that can inform local public policy and drive research 3. Raise consumer awareness on the limitations and technical difficulties of plastic recycling
Tell us how you’re doing good for your employees:

Meeting our objectives will also help the City of Austin meet its Zero Waste goals, lower its solid waste related costs, and will help to reduce landfill volume. Also, everyone will benefit if fewer local restaurants spew plastic waste into the environment.
