About PlasticFreeHome

PlasticFreeHome helps UK households cut the plastic that matters most first — with independent tests, published methods and honest evidence grades.

Why we exist

Most plastic-free advice treats every swap as equal and every "eco" claim as true. Neither is right. Reheating food in a plastic tub and carrying shopping in a plastic bag are very different things. And "plastic-free" on a label often hides a silicone seal, a polymer lining or a PLA coating.

What makes us different

• A published definition of plastic that includes silicone, bioplastics, coatings and linings. Read it.
• Swap Priority, a transparent 0–100 score that ranks swaps by exposure, frequency, plastic avoided, ease and cost. See the formula.
• Three Evidence Dials on every swap and product, so you can see how strong the evidence is. How they work.
• PFH Checked, an independent lab-verified standard for plastic-free claims. The standard.
• Right of reply for every brand we name, and a public corrections log.

How we are funded

Members, affiliate commission, flat PFH Checked fees and research licensing — never advertising, and never payment for scores. Read our independence rules.
