Micro plastics are everywhere — in the water, the food supply, and increasingly, in the conversation.
Small Makers have been quietly solving this problem for years, and we've been finding them. Here's what our team is actually using.

|
Tibo Titanium Cutting Board
|
|
|
Most cutting boards shed micro plastics every time a blade scores the surface — even wood ones. Tibo's titanium board never sheds particles, never warps, and doesn't harbor bacteria. |

Meli Wraps Beeswax Food Wrap
|
|
|
Plastic wrap is designed to touch your food — and shed into it. Meli Wraps replaces it with reusable beeswax wraps that seal naturally with the warmth of your hands, and come in a variety of sizes. |

|
Fritaire Self-Cleaning Glass Bowl Air Fryer
|
|
|
Most air fryers cook your food inside plastic or coated baskets. Fritaire replaced them with a borosilicate glass bowl — no coatings, no plastic, no guessing. |

|
PlanetCare Microfiber Filter
|
|
|
Every wash cycle releases thousands of synthetic microfibers straight into waterways. PlanetCare's filter catches up to 98% of them — automatically, with zero extra effort. |

Lavender Fields Bee Eco Wool Dryer Balls
|
|
|
Dryer sheets are made with synthetic materials that break down onto your clothes and skin over time. These handcrafted wool balls are a natural swap that also cuts drying time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plastic loofahs and synthetic sponges shed micro plastics every time you use them — directly onto your skin. The Scrubber Pack replaces them with biodegradable, dual-sided natural scrubbers for face, body, and beyond. |

Sifts Daily Microplastic Supplement
|
|
|
Even with the best swaps, micro plastics are hard to avoid entirely. Sifts is a daily fiber supplement designed to support your body's natural digestion and help reduce exposure from the inside out. |
|
|
|
|
|
Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner Bars
|
|
|
Plastic shampoo bottles are single-use by design. These argan oil bars eliminate the bottle entirely — same great results, zero plastic. |

Good to know
So what exactly is a micro plastic?
Tiny plastic particles — most invisible to the naked eye — that shed from everyday items like food containers, synthetic clothing, and cutting boards. They've been found in drinking water, food, and human blood. Researchers are still learning about the long-term effects, but small swaps at home can meaningfully reduce your exposure. |
