Additional Suppliers:


We are looking for additional suppliers to further expand our product offerings in our chosen categories, suppliers should supply alternatives to common plastic products in the kitchen, the bathroom, for shopping and food storage, for restaurants and on the go, as well as plastic-alternatives for baby products. Use the general guidelines below to see who might be a good fit for us. 

Your products must be:

  1. Synthetics-Free: Products must be ecology-friendly or biology-friendly(no synthetics due to their inability to be sequestered and due to reproductive health concerns about synthetics Nano-leeching EDC's and PFAS)
  2. No plastics packaging: Paper tape if any, paper envelopes, cardboard box/inserts/padding, paper bubble wrap/stuffing if needed, wood and metal is acceptable packaging, "bio"/"plant-based" plastics are not allowed. cotton/canvas bags are okay, unaltered natural materials/fabrics only.
  3. Minimal silicone: due to no leeching concerns found from un-colored silicone, it is allowed but minimal silicone is acceptable for bottles, containers, spatulas, and some other minimal use cases(at our discretion), but no fully-silicone products(lazy) and if the product needs to be mostly silicone/rubber for it's use case, we prefer versions that use natural rubber, cork, hemp, leather, bamboo, non-synthetics-leeching dissolvable like rice or starch etc. is fine
  4. Minimal packaging: Just remember the standard is to only have to use the compost bin and the legitimate recycle bins(not plastics) but the goal is to do reusable packaging methods, especially as there is a growing trend of people using big metal boxes near doorsteps as rain-proof package receivers.
