The Problem

The evidence around the toxicity of microplastics is robust and growing. However, it is also very disjointed and vast, with few pathways to help people make sense of it or know how to combat the problem in their daily lives.

Putting It All Together

The idea for PlastX originated from the recognition that people needed help to put what they were learning piece-meal about the effects of microplastics in the environment into actionable steps to reduce their exposure. In addition, there is still considerable confusion about how to begin or prioritize the transition to plastic-free living in a world where microplastics exposure goes far beyond single-use grocery bags and water bottles.

The PlastX Approach

People should not have to spend huge portions of their waking hours scouring the internet for non-plastic versions of everyday household items. PlastX fills this gap by providing products and services that helps clients minimize their risk to micro- and nanoplastics in a setting where they actually have control: their own homes. We provide tools so people can create healthier living spaces at their own pace and build a holistic plan that prioritizes the removal of plastics from the spaces where they spend most of their time. We do this in four ways:

Work with existing solutions

There’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Some excellent plastic-free products are already on the market. Using specific criteria, we hand-select products to make available on our site. Criteria include: 1) products must be plastic-free, 2) the product packaging must be plastic-free, and 3) the shipping materials must be plastic-free. We love transparency!

Take good products to the next level

There are many good products being marketed in the plastic-free space that still contain some amount of plastic. This is particularly true with product packaging and shipping materials. In those cases, where possible, we take bulk products and use our own innovative 100% plastic-free packaging solution and ship them with 100% plastic-free shipping materials.

Design new products

PlastX is currently developing a full line of highly desirable products that will make it easier to find plastic-free or nearly plastic-free versions of products we want without having to search the world over for them. No one has time for that, and PlastX is committed to being part of the solution. We want to make your life both easier and healthier!

Consultations

If you are interested in a one-on-one consultation, please contact us here and we’d be happy to schedule a phone or zoom call for up to one hour. At this point, we are not charging, however that could change. Depending on demand, we may create webinars for this purpose at some point in the future.
