Plastic Reduction Project
Eliminate single-use plastics in favor of reusable options.
Nonprofit
Our main initiatives are to: 1. Reuse systems that displace single-use foodware with reuse. 2. Being a platform to help grassroots teams by providing them with infrastructure and cross-pollination/success transfer to help them be more effective and impactful on the ground.
We are currently a volunteer-only organization.
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.
Our mission is to reduce plastic production, consumption, and waste as much as possible by working with brands, institutions, and small businesses towards better plastic-related choices. Our emphasis is on single-use plastic as an often unnecessary and controllable — yet pervasive — source of waste.
Food, Recycling/ Zero Waste
We currently have several volunteer opportunities related to our key initiatives, all of which relate to zero waste/sustainability: 1. Canvassing cafes for participation in an open-loop cup program 2. In-store tabling events as new cafes come online in the open-loop system Please reach out at Info@PlasticReductionProject.org to let us know what you would like to be involved with.
