How we work
Alternatives for Plastic helps you swap everyday plastic items for durable alternatives, and is honest about the trade-offs.
How products get on the list
We start from a use case (for example food storage or toothbrushes). We then look for products with a clearly non-plastic main material that are sold on Amazon in Europe, compare what each listing says, and keep a short list with different brands and price levels. We also write down a realistic limitation for every product.
What we do not do
We do not run lab tests and we do not claim to. We do not copy seller marketing, we do not publish prices or star ratings (they change too fast), and we do not repeat environmental claims we cannot back up. Where a listing makes a claim, we show it as a quote and say we have not verified it.
How we earn money
We are an Amazon Associate. When you buy through our links, Amazon pays us a commission at no extra cost to you. Commission rates do not decide which products appear or how they are ordered.

Affiliate disclosure: if you buy through links to Amazon we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. This never changes which products we list.
