About Hold the Plastic
Replacing petroleum-based plastic food packaging with plant-based, renewable, biopolymers. Funding hunger relief organizations.
Why is Hold the Plastic the best choice to lead the inevitable transition from petro-plastic food packaging to plant-based, renewable, biopolymer food packaging?
- It is inevitable that plastic packaging for food will be replaced by plant-based, renewable materials for these reasons.
- Plastic food packaging sheds microplastics that we eat. These microplastics have been linked to life-threatening diseases.
- With adequate volume, plant-based food packaging can cost the same as petroleum-based packaging used today.
- No one will choose petroleum-based plastic packaging if a safe, renewable alternative is available for the same cost.
- Hold the Plastic, a project of Inequity Repair, a California-registered nonprofit corporation, will inspire packaged food producers to cooperate to replace plastic with plant-based materials.
We will donate 90% of our net income to support hunger relief programs in the United States.
