The fine print, in large print

Disclosures

Affiliate disclosure

PlasticNope is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. You pay the same price either way. This is how we fund the research time this site runs on.

Research candidates do not have active purchase links. A labeled affiliate link appears only after the product review and link setup are complete.

Editorial independence

  • Affiliate rates do not determine editorial recommendations. We do not publish numerical scores without a documented basis.
  • We list the flaws of every product we recommend, including our top picks.
  • Brands cannot pay to be included, excluded, or re-scored. Sponsored content, if we ever run it, will be labeled in giant letters.
  • If we receive a free review unit, the review says so.

Medical disclaimer

We summarize and cite peer-reviewed research about microplastics and health. We are not physicians, and nothing on this site is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The science of microplastics and human health is young; where evidence is preliminary, we label it as such. Always consult a qualified health professional about your specific situation — especially for decisions involving pregnancy, infants, or medical conditions.

Accuracy policy

Every factual claim should trace to a cited source. If you find one that doesn't, or a study we've misread, we want to correct it publicly. Corrections make the site stronger; we're not precious about it.

See our editorial standards for the distinction between product research and hands-on testing.
