PAX was founded in December 2018 by Kirstin and McKinley in Westport.

The mission is clear: to dramatically reduce waste by enabling customers to refill existing containers, and to support organic agriculture and local producers of all kinds of goods. Team members Tiffanie, Jeanine and Anna have been integral to helping us scale up and serve our community.
