Hi ,
We all know that plastic production is toxic but do we really know how much it affects communities around the globe? In Taiwan, the Sixth Naphta Cracker Complex of Formosa Plastics Corp is 5 km from Taixi Village. The air pollution and toxic substances from the complex drift to the village, where residents have higher levels of heavy metals and higher cancer rates than those of neighboring villages. And they're not alone—many other communities around the world have similar experiences.
In the Break Free From Plastic Toxic Tours, we take you on an online journey through these frontline communities to learn how they're affected by plastic production.
