Life Without Plastic

We launched Life Without Plastic (“LWP”) in 2006 after several years of daydreaming about how to make a contribution to reducing the large quantities of plastic that are consumed every second of every day around the world.  We played with ideas for raising awareness about the issue.  We wanted to address the environmental disaster that the consumption of plastic is causing, and the damage that leaching plastic can cause to human and animal health.  We quickly realized that before we could effectively help people reduce their plastic consumption, we had to be able to point them toward non-plastic alternatives that could replace the plastic items currently used in day-to-day life.  When Life Without Plastic was created, very few alternatives existed in the North American market, especially for food and drink containers.  Our son was born in 2003, and he was the catalyst.  He made us look more actively for alternatives in North America and in other countries around the world.  This is how Sanctus Mundo, our unique product brand, came into existence.

Our goal is to offer you products that are completely devoid of plastic. But in a society so dependent on plastic, it is a significant challenge to find certain products without any plastic components whatsoever. Therefore, some of our products do feature plastic parts, but these parts are made of high quality plastic and will have little or no contact with your food or beverage. Our objective is to work with suppliers to progressively develop new products that contain no plastic at all.

Our products come from suppliers we trust and with whom we are developing long-term relationships. We seek suppliers who do not employ children and show respect for their employees, the environment and the community in which they live.

If there is a product you use and like, let us know. We would be happy to consider carrying it so that other people will also benefit from it. When you refer us a new product that we eventually decide to carry in our inventory, we will send you a complimentary voucher for your next purchase at Life Without Plastic.
