OUR VISION - a world free of plastic waste  

OUR MISSION- On your free-plastic journey, you will never be alone because we will always be by your side. Our mission is to inspire and accompany you on the way to changing to plastic-free living.   

Why you should join Plastigue community and change to plastic-free living?

 Plastic-free living can be a tough transition, but everyone who is doing it will tell you that it’s very rewarding, both for yourself and for what you’re doing for our planet. Here are a few quick benefits of living a plastic-free lifestyle: 

1. Save our environment

We feel that the Earth, our sacred shared home, also has a right to a healthy existence. The Earth is suffering for the same reason our bodies are suffering. A sacred balance has been disturbed. Humanity’s insensitivity and reliance on fossil fuel-based products like plastic cause widespread pollution and energy wastage. If we can decrease the amount of plastic being produced from unsustainable Earth-scarring petroleum and natural gas, and being discarded into Earth-polluting landfills, this is a positive step in the direction of restoring the Earth to its natural, healthy state of being.

Reducing plastic waste also means reducing trash in our living

2. Taking better care of our health 

We feel everyone has a right to a healthy existence. Our bodies are regularly and increasingly being bombarded by toxic human-made chemicals that accumulate and disrupt our health. We believe that reducing the amount of plastic-derived chemicals entering our bodies is a worthy step toward improved global health.

                                                

3. Save money

Updated recycling statistics show that 5 trillion plastic bags are produced annually. Most of these plastic bags are meant to be single-use. When you shop for groceries, you are also spending on the plastic bag to contain the items you bought; it’s all included in the receipt. When you throw away the plastic bag after using it, you’re also throwing away money.

Plastic-free living allows you to be more intentional with your purchases. It's also called social investing, putting more money where your values are

You can reuse, recycle, repurpose anything you want. Therefore, you could skip buying new plastic products/ containers, bring reusable bags, jars, and bottles to store your purchases.

4. Achieved something to be proud of

The plastic-free lifestyle can be challenging, so achieving it is something to be proud of. You’ve made a change that most people aren’t willing or capable of doing just yet, and you’re one of the front-runners helping to spearhead massive change in how we affect our planet going forward. 

Besides, when participating in our mini-challenges, you will have opportunities to connect with other people who have the same goals as you and receive many special gifts we carefully prepared for our winners. 

Several decades back, people survived and lived happily without plastic. Recycling and repurposing the stuff we had was the name of the game. Thus, there’s no reason why we can’t do this too. Living a life with less or no plastic is doable and rewarding for all of our health as well as our planet. We believe every single one of us can make a tangible difference by taking action in some way to reduce plastic use.
