What is Plastic Free?
Plastic-free beauty addresses packaging waste through alternative materials like glass, aluminum, bamboo, and compostable options, but implementation quality varies dramatically.
Some "plastic-free" products still contain plastic components in pumps, applicators, or inner seals, while others use bio-plastics that aren't actually compostable in home systems. True plastic-free requires considering the entire product lifecycle, including shipping materials and refill systems.
The most effective plastic-free brands eliminate plastic entirely or use genuinely compostable alternatives, provide clear disposal instructions, and ensure their alternatives don't create worse environmental impacts than conventional packaging.

How We Evaluate Plastic Free
We evaluate plastic-free claims by examining complete packaging analysis including all components, alternative material sourcing and lifecycle impact, disposal and compostability verification in real-world conditions, and shipping and secondary packaging materials.
We assess whether plastic alternatives offer genuine environmental benefits and practical consumer accessibility. Higher scores require comprehensive plastic elimination with verified sustainable alternatives.
