Nurture Earth is committed to helping households produce less plastic waste.
We know that today's households are awash with plastic waste.
To help households achieve less plastic waste output, we promote the amazing variety of zero plastic and reduced plastic alternatives to everyday household products that are already available.
We know that most of the plastic waste produced by households is not recycled - usually because the local recycling service doesn't support it, not because it is not recyclable.
We offer localized services to bridge the gap that exists between local recycling services and companies that are making things from plastics that would otherwise be sent to landfills, incinerated or end up in the ocean.
We know that recycling, and plastic recycling in particular, is a confusing area. Turns out recycling symbols are a bit of a scam and local recycling services can be pretty selective.
We offer resources undertand the steps they can take to reduce plastic waste output, and to recycl lsti waste.
Nurture Earth's plastic free and reduced plastic household product directory provides an EcoCount for each featured vendor, that indicates the degree to which the company and product adheres to a range of eco friendly criteria.
Every product must be completely free of any single-use plastics. Other criteria include free of all plastics, zero-waste packaging, recyclable, biodegradable, compostable, recycled, upcycled, carbon-neutral, toxin-free, certified, and B Corp.
Feel free to make suggestions for inclusion.
