Plastic is part of modern life, and avoiding it completely isn't realistic or necessary. But there are some everyday situations where plastic comes into contact with our food and drinks, particularly when we heat, cook, store and prepare food. This guide helps you understand where these potential exposures can occur and, more importantly, where it makes sense to start making practical changes.

Rather than telling you to throw everything away and start again, you'll learn how to assess the things you already have, identify your priorities and make gradual changes as products need replacing.

The guide also introduces microplastics and some plastic-associated chemicals, including phthalates, BPA and PFAS, and explains why these are relevant when thinking about everyday exposure.

You'll receive:

• A 16-page detailed PDF guide

• My top evidence-informed recommendations

• Your own personalised action plan (fillable PDF) to identify the changes that are most relevant to your household, lifestyle and budget.

• Practical tips for making changes sustainably, including how to avoid unnecessary waste, transition gradually and make changes that are realistic to maintain.

A calm, practical approach:

This isn't about creating a plastic-free kitchen overnight. It's about understanding the evidence, identifying where exposure may occur and making small, considered changes where they make sense.

If you're wondering “Where should I actually start?”, this guide is designed to help you answer that question.
