The idea for this site was stumbled upon whilst having a typical moan about the state of the planet over a pint in a small British pub. Out with some concerned environmentally aware friends, the topic of the evening turned towards plastic pollution and how plastic as a consumable material had become such an inescapable part of our lives. No one wanted this relationship with throwaway plastic to continue and the guilty feeling that came with it, but felt helpless in trying to get away from it all. 

Not knowing what we could do, someone mentioned they had heard that it was now possible to replace a plastic toothbrush with a much more environmentally friendly alternative, made nearly entirely from bamboo. 

One was swiftly purchased online and we were impressed not only by the quality of the product but also by how, in many respects, it was much nicer to use and even behold than its now inferior plastic cousin. Our eyes then began to open to a whole world of eco-friendly and reusable products which we could use to replace this unnecessary plastic which is causing so much pollution on our planet.

 We imagined creating a resource of all these products and collecting the best ones together into one website where we could showcase them to people and promote the use of these more environmentally friendly alternatives, in the hope that people begin to change their habits and choose a new way to shop and live with out plastic waste.

    plasticfreeshopper.com is the result of many hours of researching products, reading and learning about plastic free alternative materials and building this website. We hope you like it!
