About Simply Plastic Free

Welcome to Simply Plastic Free, your online hub for intentional living, sustainable choices, and practical inspiration.

Simply Plastic Free was created to make sustainable living feel achievable, not overwhelming. Whether you’re curious about van life, simplifying your home, choosing eco-friendly products, reducing waste, or learning how to shop consciously, you’ll find honest information, thoughtful reviews, practical guides, and real-life experiences to help you on your journey.

Over the years, I’ve learnt that sustainability isn’t about perfection or eliminating every piece of plastic from your life. Living on the road has shown me that sometimes practicality matters too. Instead, I believe sustainability is about making informed decisions, buying better, wasting less, and creating a lifestyle that aligns with your values while respecting the world around us.

My goal is simple: to help people make confident, informed choices that are better for themselves, their wallets, and the planet.

Whether you’re taking your first steps towards a sustainable lifestyle or looking for new ideas to live with greater intention, I’m glad you’re here.

Our Mission

To inspire and empower people to live intentionally by sharing honest information, trusted product reviews, evidence-based comparisons, practical sustainability advice, and everyday ideas that make living consciously simple and enjoyable.

Our goal isn’t to tell you what to buy or how to live. Instead, we aim to provide clear, balanced information so you can make informed decisions that suit your own lifestyle, budget, and values.

Our Editorial Commitment

Trust is the foundation of Simply Plastic Free.

Every personal product review published on this website is based on products that I, Kay, or another clearly identified contributor has personally tested and used. If we haven’t used a product ourselves, we won’t pretend that we have.

Alongside our personal reviews, we also publish factual comparison guides. These articles compare products, brands, systems, and services using publicly available information and reputable sources. They are designed to help readers understand the differences between products without favouring one brand over another unless we clearly state that a recommendation is based on our own first-hand experience.

We are committed to accuracy, transparency, and honesty in everything we publish.

Evidence-Based Information

Simply Plastic Free is committed to providing information that is supported by credible evidence wherever possible.

When discussing topics such as sustainability, climate, recycling, environmental issues, public policy, conservation, or other issues affecting Australians, we aim to reference reputable sources and current research.

We recognise that science and knowledge continue to evolve. As new evidence becomes available, we will update our content to reflect the most accurate information we can provide.

Where future environmental outcomes are discussed, they are presented as evidence-based possibilities or projections rather than guarantees. We believe it’s important to explain both what is currently known and where uncertainty exists, without exaggeration or fear-based messaging.

Respect, Fairness & Integrity

Simply Plastic Free is committed to treating all people, cultures, communities, organisations, and businesses with fairness and respect.

Our content is intended to educate rather than divide. We do not publish content that intentionally discriminates against or attacks individuals or groups.

When discussing cultural, historical, environmental, or political topics, we aim to present factual information supported by credible evidence while acknowledging that complex issues may involve multiple perspectives.

Our focus is on helping people better understand the world around them so they can make thoughtful, informed decisions.

Australian Focus

Simply Plastic Free is proudly Australian.

Our content is created primarily for Australians, focusing on products, services, environmental initiatives, recycling systems, legislation, and sustainability topics that are relevant within Australia.

We also feature international brands and companies where their products, services, or initiatives are available to Australians or have a meaningful impact on Australian consumers.

Our Values

Intentional Living

We believe every purchase and every habit is an opportunity to live consciously. Small, consistent choices create meaningful change over time.

Practical Sustainability

Sustainability should be realistic, approachable, and achievable. We focus on progress over perfection, helping people find solutions that genuinely fit their lifestyles.

Honesty & Transparency

Trust is everything. Every review, recommendation, comparison, and buying guide is created to help you make informed decisions. Affiliate links are always clearly disclosed, and they never influence the honesty of our content.

Education & Empowerment

Knowledge gives us the confidence to make better choices. We simplify complex topics into practical, evidence-based advice that anyone can apply.

Freedom & Simplicity

Inspired by van life and intentional living, we believe that owning less, buying thoughtfully, and focusing on experiences over possessions can create a richer, more meaningful life.

Respect for People, Animals & the Planet

Every choice we make has an impact. We encourage decisions that are kinder to people, protect wildlife, support thriving communities, and help preserve Australia’s natural environment for future generations.
