Almost Plastic Free Product

In this category you will find products that are really close to being 100% plastic free but there’s some small component on them that prevents it going all the way. It might be a small strip of velcro on a snack or sandwich pocket, a zipper with nylon teeth on a bread bag, or an organic skin care brand packed in glass with a plastic pump lid.

These brands are still committed to reducing the load on the planet. This category is here because of a quote I read from zero waste chef Anne Marie Bonneau a few years ago.

“We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.”
