Ethically sourced, Earth-friendly - Life without Plastic

Tashi Farmilo

In an era when plastic pollution is a global crisis threatening the environment and human health, one local company is leading the charge to make a difference. Life Without Plastic, based in Wakefield, is not just an online shop, but a mission-driven movement that offers safe, high-quality, ethically sourced, Earth-friendly alternatives to plastic products for everyday life, including zero-waste essentials.

The visionary behind this eco-conscious enterprise is Jay Sinha, Co-Founder and Co-Owner of Life Without Plastic. Sinha's passion for environmental protection began early in his life when, as a sixth grader, he worked on a school project about acid rain. Now, with the staggering prevalence of toxic microplastics and nanoplastics worldwide, Sinha has made it his life's mission to combat the plastic plague.

The catalyst for Life Without Plastic was the birth of Sinha's son two decades ago when he and his partner struggled to find plastic-free alternatives for basic household items like baby bottles and food containers. Fueled by a passion for environmental stewardship and driven by the desire to protect future generations, they took matters into their own hands and began sourcing, designing, and selling their plastic-free products.

Life Without Plastic is not just another e-commerce venture; it is a Certified B Corporation committed to positive social change, improved health, and environmental sustainability. Their products are meticulously sourced from trusted suppliers, ensuring that each item is reusable, plastic-free, and designed to last indefinitely.

At the heart of Life Without Plastic's mission is building awareness and inspiring action at both individual and systemic levels. Sinha emphasizes that the company's customers encompass a broad spectrum of people from all walks of life who share a common goal – to live with less plastic and make a positive impact on the planet.

One of the highlights of their journey has been the publication of their book, "Life Without Plastic: The Practical Step-by-Step Guide to Avoiding Plastic to Keep Your Family and the Planet Healthy." This comprehensive guide distills over a decade of knowledge and experience, presenting a wealth of science-backed research, practical actions, and activism to minimize plastic use across all aspects of life.

Life Without Plastic is not just a brand; it's a movement. With their online presence and active engagement on social media platforms, they've managed to reach a global audience. Their website serves as a hub for eco-friendly products and valuable information: lifewithoutplastic.com
