Why I Made This
I created noplastic.guide first and foremost for myself. I was already deep into this research and needed a more organized way to track everything — the scattered Apple Notes I had were becoming a mess. It started as a personal project to help me make better choices for my own health and for the planet.
As the project grew, I realized others might find it useful too. If I was already spending hours hunting down plastic-free alternatives, it made sense to share that work with anyone else on the same journey.
Finally, I wanted to help the brands making a real effort. By highlighting companies reducing plastic use, I hope to create market incentives — encouraging even more alternatives in the future.
How I Curate Listings
I prioritize brands and products that offer genuinely plastic-free or meaningfully plastic-reduced alternatives.
The bar for inclusion depends on the category — in areas like kitchenware, where fully plastic-free options are common, standards are high. In categories like tech, where plastic-free options are rare, I highlight useful alternatives even when some plastic remains.
Inclusion is based on the actual materials used, not on marketing claims — and every listing is clearly labeled so you can browse based on your own needs.
